Japanese Potato Salad with Yukon Gold Potatoes

This Japanese Potato Salad with Yukon Gold Potatoes is creamy, acidic, and sweet at the same time.

This is the second time I've posted a Japanese Potato Salad. I pretty much fell in love with it with my first post, using Idaho potatoes. 

Grilled Garlic Shrimp with Yuzu Kosho

This grilled garlic shrimp with Yuzu Kosho is a quick and delicious way to grill shrimp in an amazing marinade of red yuzu kosho, garlic, and soy sauce.

I first tried yuzu kosho when I made these delicious grilled scallops. Yuzu kosho is a Japanese condiment that is a mixture of chillies, salt and the zest and juice from Japanese yuzu. It's citrus-y and spicy at the same time.

Japanese Beef Curry

This Japanese beef curry is rich and thick, and full of beef, carrots, onions, and potatoes. The flavor is mild and slightly sweet, and is delicious over rice or noodles.

This Japanese curry beef, served over white rice (called karē raisu) is one of those dishes where, once you taste it, you will wonder where it has been all your life. I've been in love with this dish ever since I first tried it about three years ago.

Hokkaido Milk Bread Rolls

Hokkaido Milk Bread Rolls are super soft and fluffy Japanese-style dinner rolls. They are so ethereal in texture, and stay fresh and soft for days.

Hokkaido milk bread rolls, or Japanese milk buns, are made with a Tangzhong, a roux of flour and water cooked in a saucepan to 65 degrees C, or 149 degrees F.

Yuzu Kosho Grilled Scallops with Onion Salad

Yuzu Kosho Grilled Scallops are such a tangy, spicy, and juicy treat, and are wonderful paired with a tasty onion salad with soy sauce and bonito. 

You marinate these scallops in a mixture of yuzu kosho sauce, soy sauce, and olive oil for just a few minutes, and then grill the scallops for just 2 to 3 minutes a side for an easy and delicious treat.

Shio Ramen with Turkey Broth and Chicken Chashu

This shio ramen with turkey broth and chicken chashu began with leftover Thanksgiving turkey. 

I innocently decided that I would try to make homemade ramen in order to create a soup with my leftover turkey carcass from Thanksgiving.

Shrimp and Pork Pot Stickers with Soy-Vinegar Dipping Sauce

Shrimp and Pork Pot Stickers - chopped pork and shrimp with shallots and ginger plus whole pieces of shrimp stuffed into a gyoza wrapper and simultaneously fried to a crispy brown on one side, while the rest of the dumpling is steamed and tender.

These pot stickers, or gyoza, are filled with a delicious mixture of ground pork and shrimp. Just before wrapping up the dumplings, you add a nice fat chunk of shrimp before enclosing the mixture up in a thin wrapper.

Senbei - Japanese Rice Crackers with Furikake {Gluten Free}

Japanese rice crackers, or Senbei, are super crispy crackers that are both salty and sweet, and exceptionally crunchy.

These senbei, made with nori furikake, a seaweed rice seasoning, and glazed with soy and mirin (a sweet Japanese rice wine), are completely compelling. They have a flavor that kind of reminds you of sushi, because of the Nori Furikake incorporated into the dough.

Japanese-Style Soufflé Pancakes

These Japanese-Style Soufflé Pancakes are so fluffy, airy, and light. 

The recipe for these Japanese Soufflé Pancakes contains pretty much the same ingredients as "regular" pancakes, except that you separate the eggs and whip the egg whites into a meringue and then fold them into the rest of the batter.
