Medium-thick sauce – Chuno So-su (中濃ソース) Thick sauce – Tonkatsu So-su (とんかつソース) which is used for dishes like Tonkatsu.

Let’s talk about how to make yaki udon noodles, shall we? This is a Japanese dish of udon noodles that are stir fried with chicken and a mix of vegetables, including shiitake mushrooms, cabbage, carrot, and onion, until they tender and springy. The noodles simmer just enough to absorb all that wonderful flavor from the stir fry pan. It’s called Yaki Udon, and it’s incredibly satisfying. Yaki udon is similar to another Japanese stir fry dish called Yakisoba, which you may know, though there is a slight difference....

Hey friends, love to juggle? Did I confuse you a little? Ok, how about we switch the word juggle out for multitask - now we are talking right? So many of us pride ourselves on being great multitaskers. We swing from bustling mornings and packing balanced lunchboxes into afternoons that all too fast barrel into the evening, dinner times, bedtimes and bath times. As a juggling mama of two girls the things I sacrifice first and fast are my own needs....

In the past I have usually been pretty good at keeping quick releasing sugar tabs on me at all times in case I get low blood sugar (due to diabetes), but after the “Pass Out Park“scare, I stocked up on more sugar tabs, squeezable sugar pops (Patrick was so sweet, he ordered a bizzillion of these online without me knowing it), and apple juice, lots and lots of Costco size apple juice....

Autumn is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular, ephemeral, and exciting times of the year in Japan: it is a season of vibrant colors and breathtaking scenery. If you search online, Kyoto will likely pop up as the go-to destination to see 紅葉 (kōyō – autumn leaves or foliage) in Japan. I had the pleasure of exploring the historic temples and shrines buried among the autumnal tapestry of crimson reds and golden yellows for one week....

Sharing with you guys a super simple dessert recipe- Badam pista burfi! Traditionally most Indian sweets use mawa/khoya be it in burfi’s, pedas etc. Mawa is nothing but evaporated milk solids. It is easily available in most Indian stores. But I have skipped using mawa in this recipe and used condensed milk instead. The coarse almond and pistachio powder give a lovely texture almost similar to the authentic Indian burfi/fudge....

Bake the pizza for about 6-7 minutes, or until the cheese is nice and melted. Like so. I have a MAJOR thing for pizza. I live in the Chicago area, and pizza is a total THING here.

Honey: Use light-colored and mild-tasting honey such as clover honey. Sugar: Works with the honey to sweeten the glaze. Use granulated sugar so the honey flavor can shine. Apricot preserves: Adds multi-dimensional sweetness that compliments the floral honey. I have seen apricot preserves at almost every grocery store so they should be easy to track down. Apple cider vinegar: Cuts through the sweetness with fruity tanginess. Please do NOT substitute with any other vinegar....
