PIN THIS RECIPE TO SAVE FOR LATER Easy Homemade Pie Crust Recipe There are different schools of thought when it comes to butter pie crust recipes or shortening pie crust recipes. Although butter crusts are delicious, they are not as flaky as those made with shortening. Shortening pie crusts, on the other hand, have wonderful texture but lack in flavor. BUT when you use BOTH butter and shortening you have both flavor and texture – AKA the best pie crust in your back pocket!...
I did not grow up eating cranberries, so my first encounter with cranberries and cranberry sauce was during a Thanksgiving I spent with my American host family. This sweet and tangy cranberry sauce brings back heartwarming memories of the kind host family who welcomed me into their home. Whenever we celebrate the holiday at home, I make it a point to make my own cranberry sauce. Since homemade cranberry sauce tastes 100 times fresher and better than the store-bought one, there’s no excuse not to make my own....
Surrounded by snow-capped mountains and mineral-rich sea waters, the stunning island of Hokkaido tops the northern end of Japan. Beyond its breathtaking topography, Hokkaido is also rightly famed for some of Japan’s freshest seafood and dairy. The fertile land and a long history of farming are attributed to the abundant fresh vegetables and produce that contribute to its exciting gastronomical scene. If you’ve ever visited Hokkaido, you would agree that there is just so much to eat and explore....
This summer I was gifted homegrown myoga by a Just One Cookbook reader Sharon who lives in Northern California. What is Myoga you may ask? Well, let’s find out and I’ll share this delicious and non-cook Eggplant and Myoga Salad (なすとミョウガの和え物). And in case you want to make the salad but can’t get Myoga, I suggested the substitutions below. What is Myoga Myoga (ミョウガ, みょうが, 茗荷) is the species Zingiber mioga in the Zingiberaceae family....
This salsa is gluten free. I needed more! So I made this - Fresh MANGO salsa. BOOM! I had a couple of small mangoes in the refrigerator from just before I left for the Everything Food Conference in Salt Lake City this year - GREAT conference, btw - and when I returned, I realized I needed to use them up before they turned. I had a BUNCH of peppers in the fridge - SHOCKING, I know - along with fresh cilantro and figured, hey!...
There are so many styles of Japanese fried chicken. Can you name them all? We have the well-known Karaage (JFC), the home-cooked favorite Chicken Katsu, the Portugese-inspired Chicken Nanban, and so on. It’s impossible to pick a side, but everyone in my family is obsessed with Fried Chicken with Scallion Soy Sauce (ユーリンチー). Sure, it shares similar qualities as the other fried chicken: thin, ultra-crisp crust around a juicy interior, but the sauce is what sets it apart....
Our family took a trip to southern Japan last year and had an amazing time. Even though it’s still Japan, the food, the scenery, and the culture are very different from large cities like Tokyo, Kyoto, or Osaka. We’ve been sharing a travel guide for each location we visited once a week. If you missed our posts for Hiroshima, Miyajima, Beppu, Yufuin, Kurokawa Onsen, and Kumamoto here are the links....

Gluten-free (GF) pasta is made from grain-free flour that doesn’t contain gluten. As traditional pasta is made from wheat flour, this alternative pasta is excellent for those with celiac disease or who follow a gluten-free diet. Taste-wise, you may not notice the difference when the noodles are slathered in sauce! What Is Gluten-Free Pasta As its name suggests, GF pasta is made without wheat (gluten). It may consist of other starches, such as lentils, brown rice, tapioca, corn, or cassava flour....
Many of you have shared that you relish the soft and chewy texture of Japanese mochi. They come in a round cake shape that’s small and soft, and each bite can feel like an indulgently sweet affair. Today, I’m sharing my recipe for how to make Green Tea Mochi (抹茶大福). In Japan, we have different styles of mochi and this particular kind is called daifuku mochi (大福餅). I’ll show you two ways to make this delicious matcha daifuku—either white mochi with green tea filling or green mochi with white bean filling....
From a young age, I always loved classic Japanese ichiju sansai style meals with grilled fish, small sides, and rice and miso soup, while my friends were more interested in Western food and yoshoku (western-influenced Japanese food). I especially loved all kinds of Japanese mixed rice called takikomi gohan, and this Hijiki Rice was one of my favorites. What is Takikomi Gohan? Japanese Mixed Rice or what we call Takikoki Gohan (炊き込みご飯), is a Japanese dish made with short-grain rice and other ingredients....

We personally love it in so many ways, whether its for spreading onto morning toast, spooning over ice cream, making drinks, or glazing fish or chicken fresh off the grill....
Many people have asked me… Very much like a good curry powder in Indian cuisine, your choice of chili powder can not only define your dish, but it can make or break that dish as well. A great chili seasoning mix will incorporate different flavors to make your dish truly memorable, with a focus on depth and character, not just heat. You can, of course, purchase your own chili powders online, but making them at home is the best method, primarily because of freshness, and because you can control what goes into your finished chili powder yourself....
