Simple and healthy Clam Chower

This clam chowder recipe is easy and tastes even better the next day. The protein in the milk benefits hair and skin, and the vitamin B12 from the clams and B6 from the potatoes nourish hair. Garnish with additional fresh thyme or parsley.
The trick to wonderfully tender clams is to add them at the end of cooking. If they cook too long, they become tough!

Serve 6

 
Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup diced salted pork (2 slices)
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion (1 large onion)
  • 1 cup finely diced celery (2 celery ribs)
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/8 tsp white pepper
  • 1 garlic, minced
  • 3 (6.5 oz) can chopped claims, undrained 
  • 2 1/2 cups  diced peeled baking potato (about 2 large potaotes)
  • 2 (8 oz) bottles claim juice
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cup fat-feee milk
  • 1 - 2 tsp cornstarch (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp salt, to taste
  • a dash pepper, to taste
  • Oyster crackers, chopped pasley for garnish

Directions:

  1. skin the salted pork, dice it, and saute in a medium heavy pot over medium heat until crispy. Add onion, celery, thyme, garlic and bay leaf; saute 4 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
  2. Drain clams from can, reserving liquid. Add claim liquid, potato, claim juice to pot; bring to a rolling boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered 15 minutes or until potato is tender. Discard bay leaf.
  3. In a small bowl, combine milk and flour, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Gradually stir into soup. Bring to boil, then simmer for 10 minutes or until thickened, stirring constantly
  4. Stir in clams; heat through 2 more minutes (do not boil). Season, to taste, with salt, pepper, hot pepper sauce, and Worcestershire sauce.
  5. Serve in soup bowls top with Oyster cracker and parsley or fresh thyme.
* If mixture is too loose, add a little more flour or cornstasrch (mix flour or cornstarch with 1/2 cup of fat free milk before adding into the pot)

Miso-glazed Salmon

In order to nicely brown the outer layer of the fillets without regressing to the tough, dry texture of the broiled recipes,sprinkling the flesh with salt and pepper, then quickly pan seared the fillets golden brown each side (*skin-side up first) before transferring them to the oven. Then broiling a piece of fish for 10 minutes?! Broiling the salmon left it perfectly flaky and moist.


Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp hot water
  • 2 Tbsp Miso (soybean paste)
  • 4 (6oz.) Salmon fillets (about 1 inch thick)
  • 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seed
  • 2 Tbsp thinly sliced green onions (green parts)
  • Canola oil
Directions:
  1. Start by mixing the first 4 ingredients (brown sugar, soy sauce, hot water, and miso) in a bowl. Stir until completely mixed.
  2. Set broiler on high and set rack about 6 inchs from the flame.
  3. Salt and pepper you fish filets on both sides. Pan Searing the salmon - Before you put your fish in the pan you want it to be very very hot to the point where it just begins to smoke. Then add enough canola oil to coat the pan evenly. 
  4. *TIP the best pan to use for this process is a cast iron pan or a skillet that has a metal handle. This will allow you to move it from the stove top to the broiler.
  5. Cook your filet for about 2 minutes on each side then baste it with a coating of the miso glaze then move to the broiler. Let cook for about 3 minutes then baste the fish again with glaze.
  6. Let cook for about 5 minutes once the fish is nice and flakey and the glaze bubbly take it out.
  7. Garnish with green onion, sesame seed.

    Oven baked Tilapia

    This recipe is great all by itself but with the fresh tomato salad or mango salad over it, it’s nothing short of amazing. If you don’t generally like fish, this recipe could change your mind. If you’re positive you don’t like fish, then try the tomato salad over grilled chicken or steak. If you are looking to make this a little lighter, omit the butter and add a little extra olive oil.

    Serve: 6 PRep: 10 minutes Cook: 10 minutes

    Ingredients


    6 Tilapia Filets
    2 lemons sliced in half
    3 Tablespoons olive oil
    3 Tablespoons of cold butter cut into small cubes
    1/3 Cup seasoned breadcrumbs
    Seasoned Salt
    Fresh ground pepper
    ½ Tablespoon dried oregano
    Pam


    Directions

    Preheat over to 400 degrees
    Cover a cookie sheet with foil. Spray the sheet with Pam. Place fish filets on the sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Squeeze the lemons over the fish and season with seasoned salt and pepper. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the fish to coat the fish, then top with small cubes of cut butter. Sprinkle with oregano and place into the oven with the rack on the second highest level.
    Bake for around 8 minutes then shut the oven and turn on the broiler and broil for about 2 minutes until golden brown.

    • 2 green onions-white part only, thinly sliced

    Raw fish & Salad on Rice Bowl ( Hwe Dup Bab)


    Hwe dup bap is one of my favorite dishes ever. I liket to have this dish with Miso soup. You can use a variety of fish (salmon, tuna...)in there but the tilapia fillet is easy to get from local market and the price is OK too. The fish should be sashimi grade and very fresh. You can pick up prepacked fish at Korean or Japanese markets. For the vegetables I sliced up some green leaf lettuce, Persian cucumber, carrot, red onion and perilla. I like no rice, but tons of vegetables in mine.


    Serve: 4 Prep: 15 minutes

    Ingredients:

    • 2 pack of rilapia fillet (about 14-16 oz), cubed, bite size
    • 4 Tbsp Masago Egg
    • bowl of white steamed rice
    • 1 bundle, green leaf lettuce, sliced
    • 2 Persian cucumber, thinly julienned
    • 1/4 Korean raddish, thinly julienned
    • 1/2 carrots, thinly julienned
    • 1/4 red cabbage, thinly sliced
    • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
    • 2 bundle, Perilla, thinly sliced
    • 1/2 large apple, thinly julienned
    • 1 pack radish sprout
    • 4 Tbsp dried shaved bonito
    • 1/2 cup roasted Nori, thinly sliced
