It's a "California roll" but instead of rice it is a layer of shrimp pounded flat to mimic it. avacado and king crab on the inside with fried wild rice on top, micro greens and supreme of grapefruit round out the plate.
...your move TL :D

It's not like fruits/veggies are healthy, everything else isn't. Healthy refers more to getting a balance between nutrients, and fruits/veggies give important nutrients. Other than learning to like them, try and strike an accurate balance between meats/starches/etc, avoid simple sugars (if I remember my biology correctly) and exercise regularly. Simple stuff like boiled potatoes with a fried steak is fine. Mix it up with some white meat like chicken and sea food like fish for some variety. I find that only frying leaves your options a bit limited, as some foods are more difficult to cook when it's harder to get an even heat distribution. And stir-fries don't feel the same to me without vegetables, but nevertheless, here's something Chicken Potato stir fry + Show Spoiler + Cut potatoes into round disks thick enough to not fall apart easily when cooked. Parboil them. During this, begin cooking chicken breast (diced into small with chunks) in a medium to large frying pan. Once parboiling is done, place potatoes into frying pan, mix in 1.5-2 tablespoons of soya sauce and stir. Salt and pepper as necessary, and spices such as rosemary for the chicken are welcome. | ||

It's not that hard in many cases; being little more than boil water; put ingredients in; then leave to simmer for awhile. Baking also tends to be a bit better than frying. What kind of kitchen do you have to work with? Oven? Range? Microwave? | ||

Learning to make your own spice mixes from fresh spices is cheap and rewarding and can turn a simple piece of poultry or meat into something awesome. | ||

Here's a basic recipe for ramen I make occasionally. Broth: Around 4 pounds of pork neckbones, 3 pigs feet sliced in half and a chicken carcass (bones from a rotisserie chicken) You can use bones of any species, I prefer pig+chicken for a tonkotsu style broth but I can imagine beef shank, oxtail, chicken wings would all work as well. As long as there's bone+fat it'll make a good broth. optional: -roast bones in oven/skillet -add onion/ginger/garlic put in a stockpot and cover in water get to a boil and skim off the foamy stuff on top lower heat and let it go overnight (or pressure cook) Next day, strain meat+bones out of broth add mirin, soy sauce, a bit of rice wine vinegar, ground+toasted white sesame seeds, shichimi (if you like spicy) to taste Noodles: Most people will probably want to buy their noodles from a store. If you want to make your own, this is my basic mix: 1 cup of high protein flour (king arthur bread flour works well) 1/4 cup of water 1 tablespoon of kansui (KCO3 + NaHCO3) hand knead and roll out with a pasta roller Toppings: You can do anything here. Sometimes I just eat noodles + broth cause I'm lazy and the broth is so fucking amazing. fresh bamboo shoots or mu er (wood ear) cooked in soy sauce is good scallions (green onions) soy sprouts slow cooked pork cheek (or loin) in soy half boiled egg sauteed spinach katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes) basically whatever you got in your fridge Assembly: Put noodles in boiling water until done. Drain noodles and wash in cold water to remove excess starch place in bowl, fill with broth, top with toppings Enjoy! Addendum + Show Spoiler + The stuff I just described is a tonkotsu ramen, super heavy umami bomb. If you want something different, look up recipes for shio, shoyu, miso ramen. There's even more variations by region. http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2013/09/mayu-black-garlic-oil-for-ramen-recipe.html good recipe for a garlic oil topping that is actually really good. Just don't eat it on it's own. | ||

My only thing i "cook" / "prepare" is a homemade subway basically. + Show Spoiler [Mini French Stick] + ![[image loading]](http://unibakeweb1.lantmannen.episerverhotell.net/ScaleAndCrop?size=325x999999&background=0&cachetimeout=60&imageurl=http://sasauto2.clausenoffset.dk/15470000_2.jpg) You take 1 Mini French Stick, cut it in the middle. Then i personally add; + Show Spoiler [Ham] + ![[image loading]](http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01834/ham_1834951c.jpg) + Show Spoiler [Cheese] + Add that, then you put it in the oven under the grill setting thing (Cookers, what the fuck are they idk, i just press things). Leave it under the grill thing until you see the cheese melted and the bread slightly crisp. Take it out then i personally add; + Show Spoiler [Sweet Chilli Sauce] + ![[image loading]](http://stage.bluedragon.spinnaker.g-sale.co.uk/images/products/286-hot-sweet-chilli-dipping-sauce-squeezy.gif) GG! I haven't got a pic of the completed thing as i haven't made one in a while xD But i used to have them every Saturday afternoon (when i woke up lolz) they are pro! All of that costs like under £3. That would be for a pack of cheese/ham/bottle of sauce as well so you just spend like sub £1 on the mini french stick every week and you have fresh sub. But yeah that is my only specialty  | ||

Well, unless there's actually a specific recipe under that name and I'm wrong, looks like there really isn't any end to what you can make under that. Tomatoes, basil and parmesan for me, with black pepper. | ||
