✨ Homemade Fish Burger + A Simple Sandwich Lunch


Hi there Reader --

This week, I’m sharing two simple meal ideas.

👉 New recipe:
Homemade Fish Burger →

The first one is a new recipe for a fish burger. It’s made with crispy fried fish, fresh vegetables, and a creamy egg mayo sauce. This one is a big hit with my family!

For a vegetarian option, you can use tofu katsu instead of fish.

I also shared a short video of a simple sandwich using cucumber tuna salad. It’s easy to make and perfect for a quick lunch at home.

I hope these ideas bring a little inspiration to your meals this week.
