The United States Department of Agriculture says twice a week, make seafood the protein on your plate. Increase the amount and variety of seafood consumed by choosing seafood in place of some meat and poultry.
1. To make the sauce, heat olive oil in a sauce pan over medium heat.
2. Brown garlic and ginger.

1. Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
2. Place hard spring roll wrappers on a plate.
3. Arrange all other stuffers including noodles on a large platter or two and sprinkle with salt and pepper and red pepper flakes/sriracha sauce if you like.
4. Place a large, shallow dish of water to the table.
5. To make roll, dip wrapper in dish of water for about 20 seconds. Place on your plate, arrange stuffers on edge closest to you, and roll away from you. Fold the bottom edge away from you first, and then tuck in sides.

I am a registered dietitian with the National Fisheries Institute, so fish is my nutrition forte. I earned my BA in Communication from Southwestern University, just outside of Austin, TX. During college, one of my very favorite evening outings was a leisurely trip to the grocery market. My passion for food was undeniable, so I combined both of my interests by earning my MS in Nutrition Communication from Tufts University in Boston, MA. As well as my Registered Dietitian (RD) credential through the University of Delaware.
Beyond reading scientific studies about docosahexaenoic acid and selenium, I love to entertain, travel, watch reality TV, grill outdoors, and go to spin class. I live in Kailua, HI on the island of Oahu where my husband serves as a US Marine Corps JAG.
People in Hawaii eat more fish and shellfish than average, but over 80 percent of typical Americans don't eat seafood at least twice per week. Doctors and dietitians like me say that's the goal, so BlogAboutSeafood is here to show you just what plenty of seafood looks like in an RD's real-life diet.
