It has already been close to 10 months since my trip to Tokyo. I bought Java Curry and Golden Curry from the local grocery store because I was feeling nostalgic. Co-workers tell me it is common to mix two brands of curry so that is why I bought two boxes from different brands. In Tokyo, I ate curry every day. My mea...

Seattle has a restaurant popular for serving a dish called a "Dutch baby." They are basically egg pancakes and look like a cross between crepes and omelettes. Mine is not as fancy looking as Seattle's Tilikum place. I will have to work on the recipe and bake temperature to get more of a brown crust. Nonetheless, this du...

Six months ago I purchased my first cast-iron skillet. Of all my kitchen tools, there are only three that I consider must-haves: a KitchenAid standing mixer, an Instant Pot pressure cooker, and a cast iron skillet. Since I only have to cook for myself, I picked up mini cast iron skillets the other day to make single serving des...

Dal is one of my favorite dishes to get when my boss takes our team out for Indian food. Red lentils were on sale for 61 cents a pound so I decided to...

I was first introduced to Cafe Yumm during PAX West in September (see here). The food was so delicious that I went back the following day for more. It's impractical to travel to Seattle every time I want a Yumm bowl, but luckily the internet has the tasty dressing recipe for me to make my own Yumm bowls at home. You...

This morning I prepared a simple recipe that I found online called Tamago Kake Gohan or Japanese-Style Rice With Egg. I made garlic-ginger sockeye salmon to go with it for a more complete breakfast. I have a Zojirushi rice cooker so I felt like this dish was mostly authentic! The sesame seeds and soy sauce added a nic...

I must admit my love for American fast food. Wendy's, Five Guy's, Culver's, Burger King, and McDonald's all have some tasty food options. One of my gu...

This weekend I made daigaku imo, which is a Japanese sweet potato (satsuma imo) fried and then tossed with honey and toasted sesame seeds. This is not a dish found in restaurants or stores in America, so I had to make it myself. It took a few tries to get everything just right. The first time I only soaked slices for 10 m...

Since I had leftover roasted tomatoes and avocado from my salmon tacos this week I decided to remix my morning breakfast with them. To make this sandwich, beat one egg with salt or other seasonings and then cook the egg like you're making a crepe. You want a thin layer of egg because you add sliced tomato in the ce...

I just found out that today is National Taco Day in America. Taco Tuesday has been a celebrated holiday of sorts for years which makes today the king of all Taco Tuesdays. I made garlic tortillas this weekend by mixing grated garlic into the dough. They paired deliciously with Cajun-seasoned sockeye salmon, Beecher's flag...
