Kewpie Fish Butties

In A Basket.








This is a pleasant combination of japanese flavours and an ordinary fish burger. Although you would do well to note it is also in a basket, which makes it even more exotic.   

These are pretty healthy for a burger, fresh baked fish covered in sesame seeds for extra protein, loads of salad-esc filling with only a little of the bad-but-oh-so-good stuff. 
ps.(cover everything in sesame seeds for extra protein)

The kumara chips and fish sauce combo  also turned out really swell. Little kumara factoid:  
Its way better for you then potato. 
NO! 

Why? 
Its higher in fibre, minerals and vitamins, While being much lower in calories, fat and salt. Not to mention free of gluten AND cholesterol.

Standing on its own its a pretty spectacular superfood filled to the brim with antioxidants, blood sugar regulating nutrients and vitamins. 

Even though I know this, I can admit to myself that I will never be able to give up potatoes. So as a compromise I try to use 1:3 potato to kumara where possible. 

Feel free to check this out for all the nitty bitty nutritional info here.
