Today, let’s learn a new kitchen skill that’s going to be very useful! We will cut a side of salmon fillet into Japanese-style: thin and angled fillets. You might have noticed that Japanese salmon fillets look slightly different from the Western-style fillets. Japanese fillets are always sliced diagonally, showing the skin on top. The portion tends to be smaller too, as it is often intended to be served as a main dish in the Japanese ichiju sansai (一汁三菜) “one soup three dishes” meal....

There is a reason gumbo, the quintessential soup-stew, is the Official State Cuisine of Louisiana. Rich in both history and flavor, it represents the cultural mix of the area. Before its purchase in 1803 by the United States, Louisiana was populated by a myriad of diverse cultures, including French, Spanish, African, Irish, American Indian, Italian, Southern and more. Together, each of those cultures influenced the cuisine, resulting in some of the most iconic dishes in not only the south, but in America....

You can find more non-Indian and Indian dishes with lentils on the blog. Homemade meatless soups are a staple in my kitchen, with favorites like Tomato Soup, and Broccoli Soup during the week....

Surrounded by the ocean, Japan has relied on fish and seafood as a major source of protein for the Japanese people for centuries. I have many favorite fish and seafood dishes myself, but Japanese Salted Salmon (Shiozake or Shiojake) has to be one of the most classic grilled fish we enjoy of all time! The natural richness and charred flavor of the grilled salmon are simply wonderful to eat as a part of breakfast, lunch, or dinner....

Do you love food that comes with a rich history, especially one that carries a tapestry of cultures? This brings us to today’s recipe—Stuffed Cabbage Rolls, a popular yoshoku (western-style Japanese) dish enjoyed, especially during fall and wintertime.

I have always had a sweet tooth starting at a young age. As I got older, my taste bud for sweets has evolved and I’ve come to appreciate baked goods and confectionaries that have different tones of flavor and are preferably not overly sweet. When comes to flavoring in the sweet department, my absolute favorite is matcha (green tea powder). The earthy, slightly bitter taste with a sweet hint of vanilla-like aroma of matcha is utterly dreamy and alluring, which makes it a delightful ingredient to work with....

Typically, three to five dumplings (traditionally five) are on a skewer and covered with a sweet soy sauce glaze. It is fairly easy to make these dango at home. These chewy dumplings are mildly sweet and get a hint of char from grilling. When we brush the glaze over the dumplings, each bite is gooey, savory, and satisfying without being overly sweet....
