Poke Bowl, Cakes and Biscuits for My Sunday Snapshot

My daughter loves to experiment with food and we have been getting take out meals from a restaurant that sells Poke Bowls. They are really tasty, but they are also really expensive. So she has been having a go at making her own Poke Bowl. This is what she made me the other night.

Poke Bowls are originally Hawaiian and feature mostly fish or sea food. But as a kind of fusion between Hawaiian and Japanese food culture you can basically throw anything you like in a bowl. Probably not traditional, but this bowl is actually made with Tofu flavoured with a Gochujang sauce which is actually Korean. I think we have added an extra fusion of flavouring there! The egg on the top helps to cool down the spices and adds an different texture. You can also add a soup base to the bowl and replace rice with noodles.

Biscuit and Cake

We haven’t done much this school holiday, it’s flown by so quickly. We did go on holiday which was great. (My eldest wants to go away again as soon as possible! If only I had the money.) Star has mostly been residing in her bedroom by day and downstairs taking over the television for her gaming at night. The Little Man has been out a few times with his Dad. Boo, has had the best time of all after joining a youth club with her friends. They have been out on trips like boating and paintball, and have had the opportunity to hang out together doing activities like cake and biscuit decorating. She came home with these the one day.

If you ask the kids they’ll probably say they’ve had a great holiday. So I’ll take that as a win despite not being able to do much with them. I think being mostly housebound myself has not been so frustrating this year. Plus the weather hasn’t been too fantastic this past month has it! I’ve not even missed having BBQs.
