About


We just finished eating a delicious dinner, that I made by working around two other recipes. Since I definitely want to make it again, I'm saving the recipe here so I don't forget it. I'd also recommend all my friends to try it, since it's also easy to make.
In Romania, you will find pickled ginger and soy sauce at Real (the sushi shelf in the fish section) and Mega Image (the international food section). You can also put more fresh ginger instead of the pickled one. You could probably substitute the chilli sauce with chilli powder, or skip it altogether.
Pofta buna!
