    His restaurant has a different feel compared to most in this series so far. Theyre mostly dimly litted rooms with a more grand feel to it, but his place has a more laid back, chill vibe to it, and strikes unique, kinda like how jazz is too

      Hi! Just decided to drop by and ask if you could so kindly check out my CZcams Channel, maybe? I know it seems a bit much to ask for but I would deeply appreciate it. I'm trying to gain and a little audience to keep me pushing and some advice in the comment section to help out on how to be a decent father 😅 Keep in mind I'm only 20 years of age. Very nervous. Very anxious. But also very excited! Sorry if I seem annoying 😞 Just wanted to stop by and ask. *worth a shot* right? Haha. Guess I'll be out of your hair now. Byebye!!

      Papa Panda You don’t need an audience to push you to be a good father. You have what is called, “paternal instinct.” In the extremely unlikely event that you don’t, a CZcams audience will be of no help. Should be good though it usually comes pretty intuitively. We have been doing this for thousands of generations you know! You’ll be great! Go dad!

    Finally! Finally, I've heard a true sushi-master say that the "Swedish gravlax" is a kind of preparation for sashimi. Never thought it would happen. But as a Scandinavian, I'm proud to present the idea of "gravlax": Cured Salmon with dill, salt, sugar, and pepper, -as are the more traditional flavors. There are much more adventurous and modern spices used today! There really are no limits. Anyone can make their own curated salmon _ just don't forget to freeze it either before or after making the curing for at least 48 hours to be safe. It's very important, as it kills the parasites that may be in the salmon.

    • @johnchristian8685

      so whats the taste of a salmon cured by gravlax?

    • @FlowerofDissolution
      @FlowerofDissolution Před 4 lety +11

      @@johnchristian8685 Gutsu For starters, "gravlax" is the Swedish name for the dish, which in English is "cured salmon".The traditional recipe tastes salty-sweet and the dill comes through quite a bit. The texture is moister than smoked salmon, well, since you freeze the fish before eating. The salt/sugar/spice mixture seems to also draw out the oils from the fish.
      Of course, you can easily make it Asian in flavor by instead using fresh ginger, lemon zest, and cilantro, for example. Just make sure you have the right balance between salt/sugar to make the curing process happen.

      @@samokada Perhaps you're right. But, I would never take that risk. The red meat just makes it impossible to see if there is any, so you'll have to eat on faith alone then. I'd rather not. Cured salmon is still lovely to eat after being frozen.
