Prevent your screen from going dark

Directions

  • Cook brown rice as per normal instructions or preferred cooking method
  • Remove any pin bones from the salmon and remove the skin. Dice salmon into 1 cm cubes, place in a bowl
  • Add Ding Dong Sauce, Wok Sauce, soy sauce and sesame oil to the salmon, toss well and pop in the fridge while you prep the toppings
  • Shred cabbage, grate carrot or chop into thin match sticks, chop spring onion and dice cucumber. 
    Cooked shelled edamame in boiling water for about 3 minutes. Add the asparagus in the final minute to blanch. Drain well and run under cold water to stop the cooking process
  • Add sesame seeds to salmon just prior to serving
  • Toss to coat

Building Poke Bowl

  • Place warm brown rice in the bottom of each bowl, drizzle with a little soy sauce if you like or equal parts soy and lemon juice mix together for a ponzu style dressing
  • Place dressed salmon at one end of the bowl
  • Arrange the toppings over the other half of the rice
  • Drizzle with Japanese Mayo or Sriracha Mayo or even Aioli, serve immediately

Notes

Because this salmon is uncooked its important to buy fresh salmon that hasn't been frozen, buy from your local fish shop or ask at the supermarket for the freshest salmon of the day.
If you don't want to eat raw fish you could toss cooked prawns through the dressing or cold cooked shredded chicken

Prep Time 10 minutes mins
Cook Time 10 minutes mins
Such a simple meal to make.  The flavours that this dish pull together are so damn good, you won't even miss the bun!

Ingredients

  • 400 grams beef mince I use topside mince that has a good fat content in it. This helps to keep the meat juicy.
  • 2 Agria potatoes chopped into chips
  • 8 rashers streaky bacon
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • ½ red onion sliced into rings
  • 2 tomatoes chopped
  • 1 Iceberg lettuce shredded
  • 4 tablespoon Schmack sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Man Grind
  • 1 tbsp Man Rub
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
Prevent your screen from going dark

Directions

  • Pre-heat oven to 200℃
  • In a bowl mix together the Man Rub and olive oil.  Add the cut up potatoes and mix around to smother the potatoes in the Man Rub mixture.  Spread the potatoes out flat on a lined baking tray and pop in the oven for 20 mins or until cooked and golden.  Once cooked, toss with some Man Grind.
  • Add the bacon to the oven, to cook until crispy.  This should only take 5-10 mins.  Finish it under the grill if it hasn't crisped up nicely.
  • Divide all your salad ingredients between 4 bowls.  I like to do a bed of lettuce then a little pile of each ingredient on top around the bowl.
  • In a hot skillet, heat a dash of olive oil.  Add your mince and a good pinch of your man grind.  Fry until just cooked through and browned.  Remove from the heat.
  • Once your chips, bacon and mince is ready, add these to each bowl also.  Drizzle each bowl with a tablespoon of Schmack sauce and serve.

Creamy Italian Dressing with a bonus Chop Salad Recipe

Julie Cavanagh January 17, 2022
Favourite ♡ 13
Serves 4
Prep Time 15 minutes mins
Cook Time 10 minutes mins

Ingredients

Creamy Italian Dressing

  • ½ cup Mayonnaise, I use Best Foods
  • 2 teaspoon Wholegrain mustard
  • 2 teaspoon White wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp Italian Stallion
  • 2 tsp Parmesan, I use the powdered Dairy Works one for this
  • 1 teaspoon Man Grind

A delicious Chop Salad that goes perfectly with this dressing.

  • 1 Cos lettuce, chopped
  • ½ Red onion, sliced
  • ¼ cup Olives, pitted
  • 1 punnet Cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 slices Vogels toast bread, tossed with olive oil and Italian Stallion and toasted
  • 3 rashes Streaky bacon, grilled and crispy
  • Feta, crumbled
Prevent your screen from going dark

Directions

Creamy Italian Dressing

  • In a bowl, mix together all the dressing ingredients.  Depending on how thick your mayonnaise is, you may need to add a little bit of the vinegar at a time to make sure it doesn't get too runny.  Best Foods mayo is very thick and I found the 2 teaspoon of vinegar made it the perfect consistency.  
  • Keep any leftover dressing in a covered jar in the fridge for a week or two.

Chop Salad

  • Assemble your salad in a large bowl.  Use the cos lettuce as a base and then add the toppings on top.  When you're ready to serve drizzle with the dressing to taste and toss.
