Welcome to Kitchen Kat!

I love writing. I love food. Those are two interests that have stayed constant throughout my life. So why not combine the two? Perfect! Trying out different food is like almost like traveling; you get to experience different smells, tastes, and atmospheres. It brings a bit of the culture to you, even if you didn't leave your home. This blog explores Portland restaurants (plus any notable ones I encounter on vacation), recipes that worked out exceptionally for me, plus any other epicurean delights that come my way. Put any reservations aside, now it's time to chow down on some food for thought....

Japanese Dinner



I learned how to make sushi! And it was good! It's more of a construction process than anything, since the only part that's actually cooked is the rice. So here's what's on the table:

  • Spicy tuna roll (tuna, salmon, avocado, spicy sauce)
  • Escolar roll (escolar (aka superwhite tuna), avocado, cucumber)
  • Spinach sesame salad
  • Broiled salmon topped with soy sauce, sesame oil, and furikake sprinkles
  • Chirashi "Scattered Sushi"(sushi rice topped with shredded roasted seaweed, cucumber, scallions, and tuna)
  • Miso soup
We made too much food.
