Fried Rice and Potato Chips

A big lunch, I had fried rice with omelette strips, little skewers with pineapple + papaya as dessert and homemade potato chips (from the oven) with ketchup as a midmorning snack.

Lots of carbs

A big lunch with lots of carbs - just the way I like it! ;-)
I had spaghetti with soy sauce and fried vegetables as lunch, a sandwich with olive spread and some chocolate as second breakfast and sweet bulgur with orange slices and almond flakes as an afternoon snack.

Asian

For this lunch I made potstickers, or gyoza, for the first time in my life. I really like to eat them, but I know only one place here in Barcelona where they sell a Vegetarian version, and it's far away from my daily routes. So I always wanted to make them myself but was discouraged by the idea of making the dough myself. But when I found premade dough in an Asia shop, I gave it a try. My filling consisted of cabbage and TVP, I first steamed and then fried them. They turned out quite okay, although I still have to work on the filling.
What I'm really proud of are the korokke, the Japanese croquettes, which were my second breakfast. I improvised a filling with potatoes, corn and peas and coated them with panko. If you ever want to try them (there a lots of recipes to be found on the internet) I really recommend to freeze them before you coat and fry them, it makes it so much easier to handle them and they don't fall apart.
I also brought some storebought tonkatsu sauce for the croquettes and spicy cucumber slices as a side dish.

Kind of Japanese

For this day I made udon noodles with coconut-curry. It was accompanied by my beloved kinpira-carrots. As dessert I brought little homemade fruit bars with cherry-marzipan-flavour. Yummy!
I also had a very hearty second breakfast - onigiri and raw bellpepper sticks.
I had never eaten onigiri until last week - I just never had had the occasion. Then last week a friend took me to this beautiful Japanese café: http://www.akashigallery.com/, and I tried my first onigiri. I had always wondered if these were made with plain sticky rice or if they were seasoned with rice vinegar like sushi. The one I tried seemed to be seasoned, although subtly. It had an avocado-wasabi filling, and today I tried to recreate it at home. It turned out quite nicely.

Asian Glass Noodles

For this lunch I prepared glass noodles with leek, carrots and cashews. Ginger and five-spice-powder added an Asian touch. The side dish is sauteed edamame with corn.
For my midmorning snack I brought a simple sandwich with camembert and savoury energy balls made of pine nuts and dried tomatoes.
