I always have cravings for spicy food even when I lose my appetite to eat like when it’s in hot weather. And this is one of my dishes to go when I only have cravings for spicy food like that and also when I feel like to be a bit lazy to make some complicated dishes. 😉

Hope this curry-spiced baked chicken helps some of your nights when you are too tired to make something complicated but still wanting to have something delicious at home. I’m looking forward to hearing your feed back!

We call this sauce Goma dressing, or in Japanese ごまドレ (pronounced GO-MA-DO-RE). Goma is the Japanese word for sesame and Dore is the shortened word of Doresshingu (the Japanese word for dressing). This type of dressing is very popular and frequently used on Japanese dishes and salads. You will find it used in most restaurants for a salad dressing. It’s the Ranch or Blue Cheese dressing of Japan. 😉

You could usually find sesame dressing at Japanese grocery stores, but why not just make it yourself as it’s easy to make, and you can easily make your own organic version of this tasty Goma Dressing by following my Goma dressing recipe below. And of course, it will not have MSG! Sounds perfect, doesn’t it?

This recipe uses Japanese mayonnaise as one of the ingredients. If you can’t get Japanese mayonnaise, you can easily make it yourself with this recipe:

The post Goma Dressing Recipe – A Japanese Sesame Dressing used for Salads appeared first on EATwithOHASHI.

All that you need for this, is a few chocolate bars, some strawberries, a deep pot, and a metal or a glass bowl that can easily fit and float in boiling water inside the deep pot. Most of the activity is the prep work and a little bit of execution on melting your chocolate and dipping in strawberries.

The ingredients:

Strawberries: In our household, most of the food we consume is organic, especially if it’s a fruit, where we will consume the skin. So we stopped by our local Whole Foods to pick up a bundle of strawberries.

Chocolate: For the chocolate, we went with our go to brand Ghirardelli. We picked up some baking chips in White Chocolate and Dark Chocolate 60% Cacao. We regularly eat this chocolate (we go with either 72% or 86% Cacao) for the health benefits, usually one a day with our morning cappuccino. It makes for a perfect pairing and a good morning blast of antioxidants. I’ll include some links below. The kids also enjoy eating it. They have already become chocolate snobs, as they dislike the usual kid candy (Twix, Snickers, etc.), which is fantastic!

The Prep:

Now this is where the kids get to have some fun in the kitchen. They get to practice washing the strawberries and hand drying them with paper towels. Once dry, they are set aside on a plate or a large cooking sheet/tray. If you bought chocolate in the chip form, there is nothing to prep, but if you purchased chocolate bars, then you will want to chop up the chocolate into small pieces. This can be fun for the kids, but be sure to supervise.

The Execution:

Now fill your large pot with water (about half full). This is so that the metal bowl can float in the water. Put the heat on high to boil water and place the metal bowl in the deep pot so that it’s floating on the top. At this point you can put the chocolate into the metal bowl.

The kids will enjoy watching the chocolate slowly melt and turn from a solid to a liquid. Once it’s in liquid form, they will then dip their strawberries into the chocolate and then lay them back onto their plate or cookie sheet. Repeat for each strawberry until complete. If you want to use a different chocolate (white chocolate), then swap out the bowl and repeat the same process.

Once you are done, then place the strawberries in the fridge to quickly cool the chocolate. Let them sit in the fridge for an hour or more and then consume your tasty chilled chocolate-covered strawberry.

Super simple and fun. And surely you will eat them in a fraction of the time you spent making them. That’s always a good sign that you made something good. For the more creative types. Consider drizzling the dark or white chocolate onto the previous dipped dark or white chocolate to give your strawberries a unique look and style.

Eat Well, Be Happy!
