Living in the US, I encounter the word “teriyaki” a lot. In case you don’t know what teriyaki means? Teriyaki is a way of Japanese cooking. “Teri” means luster and “yaki” means to grill. The key ingredient to make teriyaki sauce is mirin, which creates luster to ingredients. The authentic teriyaki sauce is very easy to make. It’s a combination of soy sauce, cooking sake, mirin, and sugar. Each family has a different ratio, but my home is usually 1/1/1 (soy sauce/cooking sake/Mirin + sugar)....
Preparation The success of any garden comes down to the quality and health of your soil. Like your plants, soil is in fact a living thing that gets hungry, tired, and sick and needs to be nurtured in order to function properly. But what exactly is soil? Basically, it’s a mixture of water, rocks, and organic matter such as decaying leaves and insects. Some native, in-ground soil that you may find naturally occurring includes sandy (made up of large rock bits), clayish (made up of small rock bits), or silty (made up of intermediate size between sand and clay)....

Miso soup is a staple dish for the Japanese. It’s basically on the table at least once a day. Whenever a bowl of steamed rice is served, you can expect that miso soup will be served as well (not prior to mealtime like a Western course meal). Miso soup and rice are like husband and wife – always side by side. And here’s the important part: miso soup in Japan is not just tofu, wakame seaweed, and green onion....

Preparation Though it far outstrips brown rice in terms of nutrition, black rice is cooked much like its whole-grain rice relation. For tender yet chewy grains, follow these steps: Calculate ratios: 1 cup rice should cook in 1 3/4 cups water; scale up or down as needed. Don’t rinse: The outer layer has antioxidants, which may help lower cholesterol. Go heavy: A thick-bottomed pot prevents scorching. Simmer slowly: After coming to a boil, the rice should simmer, covered, until it absorbs the water....
