I'm preparing communal coffee meeting tomorrow. I had to fetch coffee machine (a big one, like they have in those roadside service station shops in the US tv-series and movies). While I was there, I was asked whether I wanted to have some free food (kind of a food pantry, again). Well yes please!
I got salmon fillet! It was on it's last legs, so no use to put it into freezer, it would've been spoiled while thawing. Carrots, cabbage, courgettes and a lonely wrinkly red bell pepper.
So, what do you make out of those?
I usually bake salmon in the oven, but this one was a bit on the smaller side, so it wouldn't feed us all. And all the veggies... Well, you can ALWAYS make stir fry, can't you?
Ok, veggies vere a bit overcooked, I miscalculated timing with these. I cut the salmon into small strips/pieces, marinated it with soy and teriyaki sauce and then quickly fried, cut all veggies and fried them with garlic and some spices, and cooked noodles. I have sesame seeds and used those to garnish the dish. Very nice indeed.
It was so good, that ys ate rest of the veggie stir fry with noodles today. He doesn't eat fish, it makes him feel odd (his own words, not sick, but odd) but he said salmon was very good anyway, he tasted it!
Noodles and spices were not free, but I tried to calculate costs: soy sauce and teriyaki maybe 0,20€, noodles 1,25€, oils and other spices 0,25€? So for less than two euros we had very tasty dinner (and some lunch, too) for all.
I'm very thankful.
