Kristin's Cookbook Project

I do love a good Chinese dish, and as I had some bao buns in the freezer that I wanted to use, I ended up making bao buns with crispy chicken and pickled carrots for dinner today. I found the recipe in a Norwegian cookbook called "Alt Asiatisk 2" by Elisabeth Le and I found it fairly easy, especially as I had both the bao buns and the sriracha mayo already, so I didn't need to make those things. Making the crispy chicken and pickled carrots were fairly easy in my opinion and the directions made it even more easy. Fair enough, I doubt I would last long working in a kitchen based on presentation and such, but the food was overall good I think. I also made use of some lettuce from my garden, just to have some more veggies.

I've finally created something in the kitchen from one of my cookbooks again. As I had some salmon I wanted to use up, I decided making salmon lasagna with squash and asparagus from Trines mat (Trine's Food) by Trine Sandberg. The recipe was easy enough, although slightly time consuming and probably better to make during the weekend. Another slight issue was, I don't know if it was because I used the wrong dish or something, but the sauce didn't go all the way to the top so to speak, so the top layer with lasagna pasta got crispy and slightly burned instead of cooked when in the oven. So yeah, I had to remove the top layer of lasagna pasta before eating. It tasted okay though, perhaps slightly flavourless in my opinion, but perhaps it is because I enjoy using a lot more herbs and spices. That said, if if made correctly, I wouldn't be surprised if even kids might like it, due to the mild taste (if they enjoy eating fish and veggies, that is). But for me? I'd prob...
