Sushi!

I went to Kanpai, a Japanese restaurant in the Third Ward, and shared a sushi boat and several small dishes with my friends. 

 Obviously, the sushi is made of fresh fish, such as salmon, tuna, yellow tail, and tilapia, along with other fresh ingredients. The sushi boat consisted of rice, the fish, and wasabi, which is made of ground wasabi root and water. Since wasabi is expensive, sometimes it is made of a mix of horseradish, starch, green food coloring, 

and mustard, but since we ordered fresh wasabi, ours was the real thing. The boat also held a maki roll made of salmon, tuna, rice, avocado, and seaweed. 

One of our side dishes was grilled chicken, which is chicken on a bed of grilled bok-choy and teriyaki sauce. The teri was made of  soy sauce, sake, and sugar. Another dish was bulgogi, which is a Korean dish made of ginger-marinated beef, glass noodles (made of sweet potato), fried egg, and scallions. 

Overall, these dishes were very healthy and all sauces and the like were made on site in the restaurant. I felt great eating a healthy meal and the food was delicious!
