What was the first sushi roll that you tried at a Japanese restaurant? For many of you, it might be California Roll (カリフォルニアロール), as it is probably by far the most popular style of sushi in the U.S. Today, I’ll show you how easy it is to make California rolls at home. What is a California Roll? California roll is a type of sushi roll (makizushi 巻き寿司 or rolled sushi in Japanese) made with seasoned sushi rice, crabmeat (real or imitation), avocado, and cucumber....

Since their heat develops as they grow larger, wait until maturity to harvest in order to get the full heat. Use the Golden Cayenne in just about any dish in which you might use a jalapeno or habanero, but be ready for significantly more heat than a jalapeno. They also dry nicely and can be ground into a very attractive golden chili powder. Perhaps the best feature of these peppers is their attractive shape and color which add variety and beauty to your garden....

Most recipes for Chicken Tetrazzini make enough for a small army. I am not always feeding a small army. Most recipes also call for a can of this and a can of that and I prefer to avoid those. So some adjustments in portions and flavors later here is my version, a Chicken Tetrazzini for Four. It has the classic elements - a pasta, peas, protein, and mushrooms. It also has some lovely flavor from the thyme, chilli flakes, nutmeg and Parmesan....

I absolutely love kebabs/ croquettes as an appetizer. Also it is a great finger food for kids and adults alike. My original plan was to make only corn kebabs like I do usually. But I happened to have some paneer , so thought of incorporating it too. These corn and paneer kebabs turned out extremely delicious , even better than the normal corn kebabs. This mixture actually mimics a non vegetarian kebab mixture, Seriously you wouldn’t know that these are vegetarian....

Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes Are you ready for these make-ahead Crockpot Mashed Potatoes to become your favorite go-to potatoes? You will never need to peel or boil potatoes again! I have always been obsessed with potatoes. From my Potatoes Au Gratin with Bacon to my Twice Baked Potatoes to my Roasted Potatoes with Bacon and Parmesan, I could eat potatoes for every meal. And my absolute favorite? Company Mashed Potatoes! Although in our home, our version of mashed potatoes were what we called “whipped” potatoes – potatoes whipped in my mom’s mixer to light and airy, fluffy perfection so each creamy spoonful melted in your mouth....

These date rolls are yet another classic Indian Christmas sweet, that is not only made by the East Indian community, but is quite popular amongst most Goan and Mangalorean households as well. Date roll cookies often make an appearance on ‘kuswar‘ (traditional Goan Christmas platter) to be shared with friends, family, and distributed amongst neighbors. My aunt Carol prepares these delicious cookies every Christmas, and she was more than happy to share the recipe with me....

Demi-glace is a rich brown sauce in French cuisine that can be used as a sauce itself or as a base for other sauces. In Japan, we use demi-glace sauce for many western-style dishes, and we can find it sold in a can or a premade jar. Since it’s not easy to find premade demi-glace sauce in the U.S., I have decided to make it at home. Making a demi-glace sauce from scratch can be a daunting process, but I’ve used store-bought beef stock to speed things up in this shortcut recipe....

What is Dosa If only we got a nickel for every time someone asked me, my mom, my MIL or aunt for that perfect dosa/idli recipe, we all would be millionaires by now. Dosa in that way is indigenous to South India and we South Indians take a lot of pride in that. We also claim to have the best recipe w.r.t ingredients and proportion when it comes to preparing the idli/dosa batter....

Dried Shiitake Mushrooms (干し椎茸, 干しシイタケ) are a versatile and popular ingredient used in East Asian cuisines. They have an intense smoky flavor and a meaty texture, which enhance the flavor of soups, stir-fries, and simmered dishes.

What Are Dried Shiitake Mushrooms Dried shiitake mushrooms are made by drying shiitake in industrial dehydrators or sun-dried. Similar to kiriboshi daikon, the drying process concentrates its nutritional profile....

Soup is a significant part of the Japanese meal, especially when serving Ichiju Sansai (一汁三菜; one soup three dishes) during family dinner. The meal typically includes steamed rice, the main protein, a few veggies or side dishes, and a soup. In addition to the quintessential miso soup, we also enjoy many different types of clear soups. Today I’d like to introduce Japanese Egg Drop Soup or Kakitamajiru (かきたま汁), a flavorful egg drop soup that uses minimal pantry ingredients....

There was an 8.9 earthquake in Japan last night and I want to thank everyone for your concerns. I just talked to my mother on the phone (5 am there) after hours of not being able to reach her. She informed me that my family is okay. My friends are also okay although I haven’t got a response from all of them. I debated if I should talk about food when you are probably worried about me and my family, but I wanted to take this opportunity to remind all of you to prepare an emergency kit or update your kit if it has expired....

While growing up in Japan, my mother made a lot of eggplant dishes and it always made me wondered what was so good about eggplant. Personally, I prefer crunchy and crispy foods, and mushy, soft eggplant was not one of my favorite vegetables. After I came to the U.S. and tried more varieties of eggplant dishes, I started to love eggplant. One of the eggplant recipes I was crazy about was a grilled eggplant sandwich with roasted bell pepper....

Furikake (ふりかけ) is a nutty, crunchy, umami-packed Japanese blend used to season rice. Although it’s referred to as a rice seasoning, furikake is literally the salt and pepper of the Japanese kitchen. It is so versatile that you can use the seasoning to instantly perk up any bland dishes. What is Furikake?

Green Bean Gomaae (胡麻和え) is one of the vegetable side dishes that my mom taught me to make from scratch when I was young. The aromatic and nutty sesame sauce adds just the right touch to the vegetables. As green beans pair well with almost every Japanese meal, we would serve this dish regularly at the family dinner. It’s fresh-tasting, delicious, and super simple. Whenever you need a quick veggie, this salad will always be a perfect match....
