Organic Green pea sprouts at Ajisen Ramen


Fine

The notice at Ajisen Ramen has become very eye-catching, with bold green fonts encircling a new kind of product it is promoting- the organic pea sprouts.



(Organic) pea sprouts may have also sprouted on chinese menus, the grassy, weedy stalks stir-fried over rice dishes. In japanese cuisine they are trusty-mates to japanese burgers like lettuce in burgers. Pea sprouts/shoots are low in calories with folic acid and vitamins A and C you need for the day.


Organic Pea Sprouts (SGD 3.90)

The simple idea of tossed vegetables, green and honest. Possibly organic, they taste crisp and sweeter, and simple heaven cooked with bits of fragrant garlic. Its good that you can dunk it over japanese rice and wolf down.


Mango Mayo Ebi and Wasabi Mayo Ebi (SGD 5.90 ea)

Completing the meal is new test-out dishes from Ajisen Ramen, mayonnaise ebi (prawn)- Curry Mayo Ebi, Mango Mayo Ebi and Wasabi Mayo Ebi. Fire-engine funky colours of an ebi's palette. The wasabi mayo ebi is pale green in colour, and sweet and addictive a harmonious blend to the savoury ebi.

P.S. The mango mayo ebi tasted like lychee fruit (canned?). It was like jam on a crisp fried prawn. The ebi was battered the "'beer batter' fish" way. Close-to-the-heart home-made dishes in a japanese restaurant, every small portion more surreal that they come in their variety of green.
