A good take on homemade chicken fingers…a nice play on coconut shrimp, if you will.

I used Pineapple Salsa from Costco that paired with these really well. Sweet Chili Sauce would also go great with the finished product.

Recipe

Crunchy Coconut Chicken Fingers

From The Deen Bros Take It Lighter

Ingredients:

1/2 cups flaked sweetened coconut, chopped
1/2 cup plain panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (I used whole wheat)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 pound chicken tenders, about 8 tenders
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 egg whites (I used whole eggs)

Directions
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
Combine the coconut, breadcrumbs, flour, brown sugar, and curry powder on a piece of wax paper. Sprinkle the tenders with the salt. Beat the egg whites in a large bowl until frothy; add the chicken tenders and toss to coat. Lift the chicken from the egg whites one at a time, and coat with the coconut mixture, pressing so the coating adheres. Place the chicken in a single layer on the baking sheet. Spray both sides of the chicken with nonstick spray. Bake until lightly golden and crisp, about 15 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking time.

The Crunchy Roll from I Love Sushi at Lake Bellevue- shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, avocado,flying fish roe with tempura bits

I have now officially been to every location of I Love Sushi in the greater Seattle area. They are all a bit different, and I have to say the Lake Bellevue location is the best. It’s some of the freshest and most innovative sushi I’ve had, while still being classic and simple. I think I avoided going here for awhile because it is pretty pricey, but oh man, so worth it.

Surf Clam, Octopus, Tuna, and Eel.

The Crunchy Shrimp roll was basically the best shrimp tempura roll I have ever had. The standard sushi was fresh, the tuna smooth and buttery, the surf clam perfectly chewy…

The Jalapeno Bomber Roll and Rainbow Roll

The Jalapeno Bomber roll came with this basil-jalapeno sauce and it was unreal. I never would have thought to pair a pesto-like sauce with sushi…I seriously can’t wait to have it again.

The Ara Jiru Soup

There are many more unique dishes on the menu, like the Ara Jiru soup, which is a sort of Japanese style bouillabaisse. They also had a $75 tasting menu that sounded insanely delicious.

I plan on coming back here on a warm summer day, as the restaurant sits on stilts over Lake Bellevue. Also, better to park there in the daylight since there are signs everywhere saying, “DO NOT LEAVE VALUABLES IN THE CAR” “LOCK ALL DOORS” and there is a huge security camera inside that shows the parking lot. Very perplexing since Bellevue isn’t exactly Sketch-Central.  I am not sure what the deal is with Lake Bellevue either, it seems like a small man-made lake, but I am not sure as I couldn’t really find any info about it. How mysterious.
