Home Made Granola

 

Ingredients

• 4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (use certified gluten-free oats for gluten-free granola) - Reduce this by 1 cup to 3 cups and add extra 1 cup of nuts (Pecans + Sliced Almonds)
• 1 ½ cup raw nuts and/or seeds (Use some combo of Pecans, Sliced almonds)
• Less than Quarter teaspoon fine-grain sea salt 
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ cup melted coconut oil
• ½ cup maple syrup or honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Totally optional additional mix-ins: ½ cup chocolate chips or coconut flakes*

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 375F and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper 
• Half the batch can be baked in parallel in Air Fryer at 350F. Air fryer burns quickly so check often
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, nuts and/or seeds, salt and cinnamon. Stir to blend.
• Pour in the oil, maple syrup and/or honey and vanilla. Mix well, until every oat and nut is lightly coated. Pour the granola onto your prepared pan and use a large spoon to spread it in an even layer.
• Bake until lightly golden, about 21 to 24 minutes, stirring halfway (for extra-clumpy granola, press the stirred granola down with your spatula to create a more even layer). The granola will further crisp up as it cools.
• Let the granola cool completely, undisturbed (at least 45 minutes). Top with the dried fruit (and optional chocolate chips, if using). Break the granola into pieces with your hands if you want to retain big chunks, or stir it around with a spoon if you don’t want extra-clumpy granola.AD

• Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 to 2 weeks, or in a sealed freezer bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. The dried fruit can freeze solid, so let it warm to room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

• *If you want toasted coconut in your granola: Stir the coconut flakes into the granola halfway through baking. They’ll get nice and toasty that way.
• Serving suggestions: This granola is awesome on its own, with milk or yogurt and fresh fruit, and you can even throw a couple handfuls into a salad for granola “croutons.”

Sushi

 

Main Ingredients: Rice Vinegar, Nori-Sea weed sheets, Wasabi, Sushi rice

• Avocado + Cucumber
• Cucumber
• Avocado
• Pickled red onion & Tofu
• Pickled red onions, carrots & Tofu
• https://www.ellielikes.cooking/pickled-onions/ 
• • 1 small onion thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp sushi vinegar also called seasoned rice vinegar
    Add onions to a jar and pour vinegar over. Put the lid on tightly and shake the jar to mix the onions with the vinegar. Place in the fridge and let the onions marinate for at least one hour. The onions will soften and lose their sharp pungency as they marinate. If some of your onions still look raw after a few hours, add more vinegar and mix well
• Pickled Shiitake mushrooms - https://www.eatdrinkbreathe.com/shiitake-mushroom-shoyuzuke/
• 80g (2.8oz.) Dried Shiitake Mushrooms
• 75g (5 tbls.)Sugar
• 60ml (4 tbls.)Soy Sauce
• 60ml (4 tbls.)Rice Vinegar
• 10g Fresh Ginger (about 2 tsp. roughly chopped)
• Steep the dried shiitakes in enough boiling water to completely cover (about 250-300ml) for 20 minutes. Strain the mushroom liquid into a container and set aside. Set the mushrooms aside for a couple minutes until they are cool enough to handle. Cut the stems out of the caps and discard ‘em (shiitake stems are notoriously tough and stringy).
• Mix 120ml (4oz.) of the mushroom liquid with sugar, soy sauce, vinegar and ginger in a small saucepan and simmer on low heat for 2 minutes. Add Shiitake caps, cover and simmer on low heat for 20 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the liquid, and once cool, slice thinly. Discard the ginger, and pour remaining liquid back over the shiitakes. Cover and refrigerate overnight before using.
• Note: Overnight the shiitakes will absorb the remaining liquid and swell to fill the container! Triffids!

• Cook tofu. Cut the tofu lengthwise into 8 slabs. Lay the slabs side by side on a cutting board and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the tofu seasoned side down in the skillet in a single layer; season the top-facing side. Cook until crispy and golden brown on the bottom, about 10 minutes, then flip and brown the other side. Transfer tofu to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Ingredients

Scale

• 2 cups Japanese short-grain rice (“sushi rice”)
• 2 cups water
• 4-inch square of kombu (optional)
• 1/4 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
• 4 teaspoons sugar (or honey)
• 1 teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions

1. Rinse the rice. Rinse the rice with cold water in a large fine mesh strainer for 1-2 minutes, or until the water runs very clear.  Drain well.
2. Cook the rice. See details in the notes below for how to cook the rice either on the stovetop, in a rice cooker, or in the Instant Pot.
3. Make the sushi vinegar. While the rice is cooking, heat the rice vinegar, sugar and sea salt together in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until the mixture nearly reaches a simmer.  Remove from heat and whisk until the sugar has dissolved.  (Alternately, you can just heat the mixture in the microwave if you prefer.)
4. Season the rice. Once the rice is cooked, transfer the rice immediately to a large mixing bowl and drizzle it evenly with the sushi vinegar. Use a spatula to very gently fold the rice — more of a slicing and lifting motion, rather than stirring and smooshing — until the vinegar is evenly mixed into the rice.
5. Cool. Cover the mixing bowl with a damp towel so that it is touching the surface of the rice, which will help prevent the rice from drying out. Let it cool on the counter (or in the refrigerator) until it reaches room temperature.
6. Serve. Use the rice immediately in a recipe, or transfer to an airtight food storage container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Storing Unused Nori:

To store nori, keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator, ideally with a silica gel packet to absorb moisture, as nori can easily become soggy if exposed to humidity; for long-term storage, you can freeze it in a sealed bag; if you need to store it at room temperature, ensure it's in a cool, dry place and use it quickly as it may lose crispness
