Stir-fried Vegetables Yum, this was a quick and simple way to prepare side veggies. I just got a replacement wok and this would have been lovely to prepare in a wok. In the picture above you see stir-fried carrots, sugar snap peas, bok choy, and cabbage. I had left out mushrooms and asparagus, but this…

Sake Shioryaki
Salt-grilled Salmon For how simple the preparation of the fish was, just salt and sitting in the fridge for an hour, the fish was super moist. The only big issue was that it needed to be in the oven under the broiler longer than Morimoto had advised to suit our tastes.
Japan. Week Three
Tataki Kyuri (Smashed Cucumber Pickles) Onigiri (Rice Balls) Sake Shioryaki (Salt-Grilled Salmon) Yasai Itame (Stir-Fried Vegetables) This is a bit of light week since it’s birthday week for my boyfriend and myself #saglife. I’ll edit more later if I make more Japanese food this week.
Hambagu
Japanese-style Hamburger with Tangy Sauce Please don’t judge my overcooked sear, I took my eyes off the pan a bit too long. But really, this is more like a mini meatloaf with a tangy teriyaki sauce and my American taste buds were satisfied. I served this with white rice and Green Beans with Sesame Dressing…

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…
Kinpira
Stir-fried Parsnips and Carrots I thought I would be able to find parsnips for this recipe, but New Grand Mart and Wegmans both let me down. So I ended up just keeping the regular amount of carrots and celery and dividing the liquid needed in half. This is a surprisingly quick veggie side dish that…
Tare No Teriyaki
Teriyaki Sauce I made this sauce for the yakitori party and I’m so glad I had this this week! Not only was this super tasty on the charred/ broiled food but it is a delicious dipping sauce! It’s super easy to make and takes less than 10 minutes with household ingredients. I’ve had store bought…
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,…
