Let’s talk about how we make this flavorful London broil marinade, shall we? There are so many wonderful cuts of beef out there, and I love so many of them, but today we’re doing with an economical cut and we’re making one of my favorites, Grilled London Broil. “London Broil” refers to the preparation of the beef - Marinate, Cook, Slice - not the cut. You can use different cuts of beef, but I’m using top-round, which is a tougher, leaner cut with big flavor that benefits greatly from a good marinade, which is the point of this recipe....

Aunt Karyn introduced us to some exciting Lowcountry fun and cooking. She booked us a shrimp boat, which we took out and sat in the warming sun while the captain dragged a net about the ocean floor. We only caught about a pound of shrimp, which we enjoyed later, but were shocked when the net trapped a 3-foot shark. It unfortunately ripped a hole in the captain’s net. Lucky for the shark, we tossed it back into the sea....

My dad has always been the biggest lemon pie, coconut cream pie and banana cream pie fan – must be all that smooth, silky filling. While combining lemon, coconut and banana did cross my mind, in the end I knew banana and coconut together was a must – they just belong together! When you cross banana cream pie and coconut cream pie you get a luscious, velvety custard-like filling that blows boxed pudding away, made with coconut milk and mixed with sweetened coconut flakes all cradled in a mini sugar cookie crust....

Mizuna (水菜 “water greens”) is a Japanese green with a piquant, mildly peppery flavor. It’s slightly spicy but less so than arugula. Eat these greens raw in salads, sauté, or cook in hot pots. Other names include Japanese mustard greens, Spider mustard, Kyona (京菜, “Kyoto greens”), Qian Jing Shui Cai, potherb mustard, and California peppergrass. What is Mizuna? Mizuna (Brassica rapa var. nipposinica) is a leafy green in the mustard family, including kale, broccoli, and cabbage....

The NuMex R Naky chile is an Anaheim-type hybrid created by Dr. Nakayama of New Mexico State University in 1985. It comes from the mix of the Rio Grande 21 pepper, the New Mexico 6-4, and a Bulgarian paprika. The fruit grows to 5-6 inches and has a mild flavor. In comparison, the New Mex R Naky produces significantly more volume per acre than the New Mexico 6-4, and has a brighter red color....

Among all the Nagoya Foods (Nagoya-meshi, 名古屋めし) we tried while we were traveling in Nagoya this past summer, Ogura Toast (小倉トースト) was the most unexpectedly delicious food we enjoyed. In fact, I completely forgot about this dish during the trip until I saw it available as part of the hotel breakfast selection. What’s Ogura Toast? Simply, it’s toasted Japanese bread called Shokupan (食パン) topped with butter and sweet azuki red bean paste....

A “karahi” for those of you who are wondering is basically a wok. It allows the food you are cooking to cook faster and gives it greater flavor than what would happen if you were to use a smaller pot. If you do not have a wok then use a larger saute pan for optimal results. What makes a Karahi of any kind tasty is the caramelising of tomatoes and that requires surface area (and sadly, oil)....

Mr. JOC and I started watching season 2 of the popular Netflix® show – Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories so that we can re-create the recipes from the series. In Episode 3, an old man named Umejii went into the diner and requested for pickled plums. When the master handed him a plate, he ate 10 of these plums straight up! My mouth immediately watered and my face scrunched up, literally like a sour plum....

I do know though that sometimes we can overdo it like the time my eldest brother and I decided to order food for sehri/suhoor from Barbq Tonite, a Karachi institution and home of some incredibly tasty prawn masala. The prawn masala was not the only dish we ordered – if memory serves correctly it was one of eight of which only the naan and half a kabab were left after the two of us were done with it....

I love cooking the bolognese sauce in my Dutch oven over the stovetop, but it takes hours. So today, I’m sharing a quicker alternative and just as tasty, Pressure Cooker Spaghetti Bolognese (圧力鍋スパゲッティボロネーゼ) recipe with you. Stovetop vs. Pressure Cooker Spaghetti Bolognese Just to be clear, I am NOT saying that a pressure cooker makes better Bolognese sauce. There’s just something magical about slow cooking as if you are adding love to the food every time you stir....

What is Kheer? Although when we speak of kheer we often default to Chawal ki Kheer or Rice Pudding, in my Pakistani household, the kheer my mother made most, was this Bread Kheer. My mother is not one for slow cooking, but I suspect this Instant Por Kheer would meet my practical mama’s approval. A kheer in essence is what we think of as a pudding, creamy, but with some texture coming from a variety of things from rice to bread to even sweet potato!...

That’s it, my friends. I hope you enjoy this Japanese chili oil recipe. Let me know if you make it. I’d love to hear how it turned out for you, and if you decided to spice it up! It adds a wonderful kick of heat and flavor to various dishes, and is a popular dipper and condiment, particularly for dishes like gyoza. You can find rayu in Japanese markets or grocery stores, though most pale in comparison to a homemade version, which is brimming with fresh flavor and piquancy....

I think I do more than most people do - obsession, anyone? - but even after all of the hot sauce recipes, salsa recipes, stuffed chili pepper recipes, dehydrating peppers and chili pepper recipes in general, we STILL have a load of chili peppers....

Boom! That’s it, my friends! This is an easy one. It’s really just roasting some peppers then using a food processor. I do love easy. Store bought hummus can be okay, but I’ve found that it’s more often than not sort of drippy in consistency, too oily, or generally lacking in flavor. I like my hummus with some OOMPH, so that’s what we’re doing here today. Yep, we’re not making any regular old hummus, which I do love, but instead we’re making… Roasted Red Pepper Hummus!...
