I had a pretty blasé food day (after the soup):
- three bowls of Chinese cabbage soup (I finally finished the huge tub of soup my mom gave me)
- one plate of salad with goma dressing
- half of a See’s milk chocolate bar with toffee
- one slice of hawaiian pizza
- two servings of sour cream and onion chips
- some strawberries
- two small cubes of cheese
- some grapes
- 1/8 of a piece of sausage
- two baby carrots
- one bit of chocolate cake
okay, I guess when I list it all out, it doesn’t seem blasé. but I don’t really like hawaiian pizza, chocolate, or cake.

Goma Dressing
Posted by annie on Dec 4th, 2008 1 comment
Goma dressing is a thick Japanese sesame seed dressing that goes great on salad, veggies, noodles, rice, chicken…
If you’ve ever had tahini, which is ground sesame seed paste, goma is kind of like that, but with a much richer and deeper flavor.
You’d think something so tasty would be fatty, but each serving of goma dressing (2 tbsp) is only 25 calories! In comparison, the Hidden Valley buttermilk ranch dressing in my fridge is 140 calories per serving (also 2 tbsp). I’d also like to add that while goma dressing had 0 calories from fat, the ranch has 130 calories from fat!
In consideration of those of you who don’t live near a Japanese grocery store, I’ve been trying to look online for a recipe, but it seems like most recipes include items you’d have to purchase from a Japanese grocery store…

Mostly Salad

Today’s meals:
1. 1/3 of an Asiago cheese bagel with cream cheese from Noah’s
2. 1/3 of a blueberry bagel with blueberry cream cheese from Noah’s
3. half a See’s milk chocolate bar with toffee
4. two big bowls of my mom’s Chinese cabbage soup (which is a lot like Russian cabbage soup except not nearly as sour, and way tastier!)
5. five plates of romaine salad with goma dressing, yes, FIVE. Goma dressing is THAT amazing, it makes eating plain salad not only tolerable but quite enjoyable. You can find goma dressing at your local japanese grocery store.
