Letter from the Editor Thank You Roy City Roy City has been an amazing partner for the past 7 years, and while the city has decided to stop their official sponsorship of the publication, our goal is to continue to publish the Roy Connection magazine independently. We love highlighting the events, accomplishments, and amazing stories of Roy City residents.

With the changes in our society, we believe that the positive and wholesome nature of this magazine is a boon against the negativity that consumes other media sources, plus it is a great way to stay connected as a community. If you agree, we would love to be referred to your favorite businesses to help fund the future publication of this magazine. Without that support, we will unfortunately have to stop publishing the magazine.

We are so grateful to have been part of your city this long and hope to continue that legacy for years to come. You can also visit us at royconnection.com and sign up for the email newsletter to receive everything digitally. Please feel free to reach out and let us know of any story ideas you might have as well. Thanks for all your amazing support.

Focus on Roy Businesses / O-Ku Sushi & Ramen O-Ku Sushi & Ramen recently opened at 5429 S 1900 W in Roy. The building has been beautifully updated, and diners have commented on the friendly staff, great food, and quick service.

A few highlights of the appetizer selection include upside-down shrimp, mussel shooter, tuna tataki, fried soft shell crab, Takoyaki (savory ball-shaped cakes containing chopped octopus, made from wheat batter cooked on a specially shaped griddle), and chicken karaage (fried chicken breaded in potato starch or potato powder).

You’ll find a generous variety of sushi (vinegared rice either topped with sashimi or rolled with ingredients such as raw or cooked fish or seafood and vegetables); sashimi (premium, sliced raw fish or seafood or other

protein); nigiri (a type of sushi consisting of a small ball of rice topped with wasabi sauce and raw fish or other seafood); sushi rolls; Naruto (a high protein, low carb option), poke bowls (a delicious blend of marinated seafood, paired with various veggies and drizzled with savory umami or soybean paste-based sauces), and ramen (noodle soup, with a combination of a rich flavored broth and meats or vegetables.

Try the chicken katsu (fried chicken cutlet coated with crispy panko), beef sukiyaki (hot pot dish of beef, vegetables, tofu, and noodles simmered in a sweet sauce), teriyaki beef, chicken, or salmon; or gyudon (bowl of rice topped with beef and onion, simmered in a mildly sweet sauce).

You’ll want to go “meet” the robot that delivers the sushi!

Water quality is an important aspect of Roy City’s efforts to improve the Howard Slough. Water quality concerns are based primarily upon the goal of maintaining recreational opportunities, especially the community fishery. Additional concerns are related to minimizing the contaminants typically in stormwater runoff from urban areas.

Biologists from the Utah Department of Natural Resources have indicated to Roy City staff that maintaining adequate oxygen levels and proper pH levels are the primary factors for the health of the Howard Slough and the community fishery.

SOUP SEASON Corn Bacon Potato Chowder

BY KENDAL RAE JENSEN

Ingredients Corn (choose one) 4 ears of corn 4 cans of whole kernel corn, drained 1 can cream of corn (if not using fresh corn) Soup: 1 tsp butter (or oil) 8 oz bacon, chopped 2 Tbsp. butter (use 3 Tbsp.. if bacon is lean) 1 garlic clove, minced 1 small onion, diced (or half large onion) (yellow, brown or white) 5 Tbsp. flour 2 cups chicken broth, low-sodium 3 cups milk (I use low fat but full fat will work too) 2 lbs potatoes, cut into cubes 2 sprigs of thyme OR 1 tsp dried thyme 3/4 cup heavy cream 3/4 cup shallots/scallions, green part finely sliced Salt and finely ground pepper to taste

22 October/November 2024

SAVOR THE SIMMER

Instructions 1. Cut the corn off the cob. One way to do this is to place a small ramekin in a large bowl. Place corn on the ramekin, then cut the corn off.

Keep the naked cobs or open cans of corn.

2. Place 1 tsp butter in a large pot over mediumhigh heat. Add bacon and cook until golden.

Use a slotted spoon to remove onto a paper towel-lined plate. Leave fat in the pot.

3. Lower heat to medium-high. Add 2 Tbsp. butter.

Once melted, add garlic and onion. Cook for 2 - 3 minutes until onion is translucent.

4. Add flour and mix it in. Cook while stirring for 1 minute.

5. Add broth, milk, potatoes, thyme, and bay leaf. Break the naked cobs into 2 or 3 and add them to the liquid. Put the lid on and simmer for 25 minutes (adjust the heat so it's simmering energetically but not bubbling too much).

6. Remove the lid and remove corn cobs. Add corn and cook for 5 minutes or until cooked to your taste.

7. Stir through cream and 3/4 of the bacon and shallots.

Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and garnish with remaining bacon and shallots.
