Fish Simmered with Sake, Soy Sauce, and Sugar Yum! I’m pretty sure that this was the first time that I’ve had Chilean Sea Bass and I was not disappointed. Morimoto recommended using a fatty white fish fillet such as Spanish Mackerel, Redfish, Chilean Sea Bass, or Black Cod. I went with Chilean Sea Bass from…

Kinoko Zaru Soba
Chilled Soba Noodles with Mushrooms This was my first time trying a chilled soba dish. I found out that I’m not the biggest fan of the buckwheat noodles. You’re supposed to pick up the noodles and dip them into the sauce that the mushrooms were simmered in. I ended up just dumping the noodles into…
Yakitori Party
Grilled Chicken and Veggie Skewers Yum! Yum! This was so gooood! This recipe, by far, has my new favorite way to cook chicken wings. I’m personally not a big wing fan, but this was soooo good. The texture of the skin was crisp, the meat was cooked but not over cooked, and the sauce was…
Miso Shiru
Miso Soup with Tofu I really enjoyed this. I’ve made miso soup before from the instant packet and other than taking a couple extra steps, this soup was just as easy to make as opening a packet. I really loved the smell when you add miso to the warmed dashi. While I enjoyed this soup,…
Chicken Cooked in Riesling
So. Much. Yum. The chicken is like butter. Not to mention that there’s butter in the sauce too. Since it primarily tastes of chicken and onions, I’m super happy with the outcome. Not to mention, if you have Riesling after you cook it, just finish the bottle as you enjoy the dish. The buttery chicken…
Pork Chops
Pretty basic but the basics are delicious. I grew up eating pork chops both from my German-American side and my Southern (U.S.) side. I do prefer the cooking technique here though. You sear the pork and then finish in the oven at a relatively low temp so they’re cooked but not cardboard. I had thin…
Currywurst with Fries
I love sausages. I was super excited about currywurst since I’ve made it once before, but this was a bit of a let down. It may not have been the recipe. I’m pretty sure I messed up the sauce and overchared the brat. I just didn’t like this as much as I have before. I…
Veal Schnitzel
So from what I know of cooking, this isn’t a standard Weiner Schnitzel. Yes, there is veal, so that’s positive for this Austrian national dish. Fun story…In my sixth grade history class we had to chose a country to research and present our learned information of the county. For some reason, I chose Austria. About…
Roast Chicken/ Beurre Noisette/ Green Salad
This is a very fall feeling type of meal. I added sautéed Brussel Sprouts as a side since I had some left in my fridge. Beurre Noisette This filled the house with a very nutty, buttery smell. Roast Chicken So, I can’t help but compare this Roast Chicken to Julia Child’s Roast Chicken. This one…
