Wasabi Mayo Salad Dressing

Have too much Wasabi Tube leftover from the last Sushi cooking? Is it going to expire soon? Don't worry, this recipe will help you to finish it, along with some leftover vegetables in the fridge. In our case, it helps to finish off some Romaine Lettuce, Cherry Tomato, Olives, Carrot, Parmigiano Cheese, Smoke Ham, Almond and Sesame Seeds.

We compared between regular mayonnaise and Kewpie. The regular Mayonnaise come out too salty when mixed with Wasabi. So, we choose the Kewpie which come out better to our taste.

Mixing wasabi and mayonnaise is tricky. The wasabi taste does not come out during mixing, but when you spoon a mouthful of salad later on, the wasabi will kick hard to your nose.

We also put in some bread stick bought at Him Heang in Penang. Those crackers was supposed to be for coffee, but we are too lazy to make our own crouton. If you can get one, it would be great, but you can always bake your own crouton.

Dinner is finished with full stomach, and empty fridge happily

The Energy Food: Baked Mini Potato with Cheese

One afternoon of a sunny day. We were having a late brunch, thanks to the holiday, which make us skip our lunch altogether. However, I planned to do 10k run on the evening, and in need of energy. A LOT OF ENERGY.

Rice is too boring and take time to prepare, plus all the dishes that follows. Potato become my option. To be specific, it would be mini potatoes for 2 reasons: It is bite size, and take shorter to prepare,compared to the bigger potato.

All these steps took less than 15 minutes preparation, and around 30 minutes of baking

1. Wash the potato in running tap water, then cut them in half
2. Pour olive oil in baking pan, and spread evenly. Arrange the halved potatoes on the pan. Don't forget to heat the oven to 180-200 degree. Put some pepper, salt or parsley to your taste
3. Put the potato in the oven, and set a timer for 10 minutes. Sit back, relax, and enjoy your favorite TV show
4. After 10 minutes, take out and stir. Place it back in the oven for another 1-15 minutes. Sit back and continue watching your favorite TV show
5. After 10-15 minutes, take out and place in a serving plate made of ceramics (or something else that oven-save). Grate your favorite cheese on top of the potato. My favorite is Mozzarella to give some nice melt, and cheddar for the salty taste
6. Put the potato and cheese with the serving plate back in the oven. This is the tricky part. You have to watch the cook so that the cheese melt, but not burnt. Sorry, no favorite TV show here
7. Serve with tabasco or mustard. And you will have more than enough energy for your 10k run
