I Am... How to Make: Tamagoyaki Recipe

March 4, 2019 • Leave a comment • Posted in: eggs, Japanese, mirin, soy, sugar, tamagoyaki

I love tamagoyaki. Do you know it? Those little bricks of bright yellow rolled omelette on rice, wrapped with a nori belt? They're kind of unassuming, but tamagoyaki – which is means “egg grill” in Japanese – is an art. Good tamagoyaki should be solid, yet still layered, with no burnt parts. Mike likes to judge sushi restaurants by their saba/mackerel sushi, but I use tamago as my benchmark.

I Am... Small Batch Japanese Cotton Cheesecake

March 3, 2019 • 53 comments • Posted in: cheesecake, cream cheese, eggs, Japanese, meringue, quarantine cooking, small batch

Cheesecake monster strikes again! Guys, I made another cheesecake and again, I've almost eaten the whole thing. Thank goodness for small batch things! I made this bad boy on Friday and as I'm writing this, it's Saturday and it's basically 75% gone. Mike had 1 slice and I had the other 3 and a half slices and there's just one lonely slice, plus a half slice left. This is MADNESS! But this cheesecake is so fluffy and light and good, it's kind of like eating air so maybe the calories don't count?!

One of my all time favorite things in Japan is a traditional breakfast – the kind that includes a bowl of rice and miso soup. There's something so comforting about starting the day with a hearty yet healthy warming meal. You can find these kinds of breakfast sets at lots of different kinds of restaurants in Japan, from the more affordable (Ootoya) to the very luxe.

I Am... California Roll Avocado Toast

February 25, 2019 • Leave a comment • Posted in: avocado, bread, crab, cucumber, kewpie mayo

I'm an avocado toast lover. Give me ALL the insane $12 avo toasts out there! Just kidding! I don't think you should ever pay top dollar for avocado toast when you can make it at home so easily. My favorite way is simple: very toasted good quality sourdough, perfectly ripe avocado (can be smashed or sliced), flaky sea salt and plenty of black pepper. Sometimes I do chili flakes too and if I'm feeling decadent, I'll drizzle on some good olive oil.

Naan has to be the easiest bread to make. It's so simple and satisfying. I love it with curry, I love it with dal, I love it just by itself but I especially love it when it's been brushed with a generous amount of garlic butter.
