One thing we are not short of over here in Berlin is Asian food. The great thing about Asian food is
that it can be easy to make and healthy to eat. What more could you ask for in a Wednesday night supper?
My salmon teriyaki with some stir-fried vegetables is a favourite weekday meal of mine. It also looks like Spring is in full swing which means that this meal is perfect one for a sunny evening. As it only takes 25 minutes to make you don’t have to stand over a load of pans and can instead enjoy some of the after work sunshine.
Happy Wednesday! x
