A favourite treat
I am excited to go see my sisters in Vancouver next week. Not only to see them and the beautiful city that I love but also to eat some of my favourite foods. From the Bandara Salad from The Cactus Club Cafe to the best sushi I have ever tasted (keep in mind that I’ve never been to Japan… yet!) but one of the most unusual and really simple things that I love in Vancouver is the Japadog. Think a hotdog+japanese ingredients. This is something so brilliant that I’m amazed that someone didn’t think of fusing the tastes together a long time ago! 
Impatient as I am I’ve been counting the days until I can go visit a Japadog stand and, as I was telling my brilliant friend, Jess, about it she decided that she could make her own version of it and share her results with me.
The version that we made was with wasabi mayo (word to the wise, use a very little bit of wasabi powder if you’re making your own wasabi mayonaise) and Nori Komi Furikake (which is sesame seeds and seaweed). Just well cooked veggie weiners and fried onions made this a very good idea indeed. A great way to spend a saturday afternoon:
I have the bestest friend in the world don’t I? Thanks Jess for a delicious treat!
kehehe! you is welcome!
one small note though: nori _goma_, since it’s seaweed and sesame furikake. just like the other stuff i fed you, goma ae, was sesame spinach, seaweed and sesame seeds are nori goma. “komi” means that it includes… which i guess is technically correct, since the furikake DID include seaweed flakes…
having said that though, nori “komi” sounds like a really adorable mistake.
Hee hee… I actually just copied the name of the furikake that I found on a Japanese product website. So, technically, it’s not my fault.
Thanks for educating me though. I appreciate it!
