Cheng Can Cook: Masago Salad & Spicy Scallop Bowl ★★★

Making Japanese Food is My Passion. It is a work of art. I first tried Masago Salad from G•Sushi in Hong Kong and have been in love with it ever since. Recipe below. I first had Spicy Scallop Bowl at Tokyo Delve's in Marina del Rey, but it's closed down. I just to have to make my own now. Recipe below.
