Quick & Easy Appetizer


Asparagus Wrapped with Cheese and Raw Ham

What you need is what you have in the title, boil fresh asparagus with a little salt, then wrap them with sliced processed cheese and raw ham. Arrange nicely and top with olive oil, sprinke some black pepper. Wala! you have one dish for appetizer already.


Tomatoes With Sesame and Sugar

As the title says, you need tomatoes, white sesame powder (ground sesame) and sugar. I like to peel my tomatoes, by pouring boiling water on them first. I think it is a matter of taste. Then cut them into slices then sprinkle sugar and sesame on the top according to taste. If you have finely sliced bonito, you can also use them as toppings. Wala! second dish for appetizer.

Raw Tuna or Raw Bonito Salad With Onions and Chives (Carpaccio)

Make sure you get a fresh tuna or bonito and slice them like you would prepare a sashimi. Use a fine sharp knife for a nice cut of sashimi. Then slice 1 onions finely and wash them in cold water to get rid of spicy taste. Place sliced onions and chives (alternatively fresh basil) in the center while decorating the raw fish around them.

Prepare dressing:
1 tbsp of olive oil, grated garlic (pls adjust amount according to taste), 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp soy sauce, adjust taste with salt and pepper.
Note: raw onions, fish and ham taste good to adults, but not children below 3
