Tonight I wanted something quick and easy so I decided on red curry prawns with udon noodles. Again this was an Asian inspired creation with some European elements like tasty mature cheese and Greek yoghurt.

These red curry prawns are pretty tasty. This dish was so quick and easy to make and so filling.

I’ve enjoyed a pretty filling food day.

For breakfast I went to SPACE Kitchen in Woden.

I had the Space Benedict which consisted of two poached eggs with a beetroot reduction Hollandaise sauce and a pulled pork croquette.

I also enjoyed an Oreo peppermint milkshake. The crumbed Oreo was fine enough to come up the straw. It was really good.

Baked salmon with quinoa kale wasabi aioli coconut noodles

Posted by Gary

Tonight I made some baked salmon and served it with noodles. These weren’t just any noodles though, I made them with quinoa, kale, coconut milk, aioli, wasabi, cheddar cheese, chilli flakes, cracked pepper, basil, spring onions, fried shallots and dill.

I now have the baked salmon down pat. Twelve minutes at 200 °C in a benchtop oven gives me a perfect result every time. I wanted it tonight to go with a nice creamy noodle base. I thought about flaking the salmon but I just put the fillet on top of the noodles and ate it with chopsticks and a Chinese spoon.  You can see a video of how I ate it below.
