I received homegrown myoga as a gift from a local JOC reader and have enjoyed making all kinds of myoga recipes. This Myoga Amazuzuke (みょうが甘酢漬け), or Sweet Pickled Japanese Ginger, is particularly my favorite. It’s tasty on its own but also makes a lovely accompaniment to jazz up our salads and rice. What Is Myoga (Japanese Ginger) Myoga (ミョウガ, みょうが, 茗荷) is the species Zingiber mioga in the Zingiberaceae family....

Sometimes a simple ingredient or condiment is all it takes to lend a magical touch on a dish. Garlic, ginger, miso, yuzu kosho, and sriracha are just some fantastic examples. And if you haven’t heard of Shio Koji, allow me to introduce this seasoning to you today. I’ve pulled off an incredibly amazing Shio Koji Chicken (塩麹チキン) that takes only 4 ingredients to make. All thanks to Shio Koji, I get an umami-packed delicious chicken on the table with minimal effort....

Do you usually buy or make your own salad dressing? With our busy lives and wide selection of dressings on store shelves, it’s difficult to resist them in the supermarket. However, the homemade dressing does taste much better than store bought dressings and much healthier too. If you are not familiar with making your own dressing, don’t worry, I’ll show you how. It’s all about knowing the simple rules of thumb and experimenting!...
It’s been a while since last time I wrote a review on Din Tai Fung in Los Angeles. I’m very excited about this month’s review and want to share the wonderful experience we had at Stella Mare’s Restaurant in Sana Barbara. Earlier this year during the summer, we took a trip with close friends of ours down to Oxnard, an hour and a half away from Santa Barbara. We stayed at the Embassy Suite which was perfect for a family vacation....
Last time I shared a bento post was August 2014… Almost 10 months ago. I didn’t mean to drop my bento series at all, but we’ve started to focus more on making YouTube videos and our priority got shifted a little bit. I know some of you have mentioned that you really enjoy my bento series so I’ll definitely do my best to continue next school year. I just have to be more disciplined!...

Preparation One is French and the other widely used in the Balkans and Middle East, but there’s more nuance to the differences between these two versatile pastry doughs than that. Sure both are many layered (unlike the traditional pâté brisée that we use in so many of our recipes), but puff pastry and phyllo are not interchangeable. If you compared the two, phyllo would look like a sheaf of tissue paper while puff pastry would seem much thicker, more like regular pastry dough....

Spread tuna mixture on 4 bread slices. Top with remaining bread slices. Related Video
Preparation “Since appetizers are the first taste guests get of your event-literally-they should be packed with flavor. A few of my fail-safe selections include bite-size versions of smoked salmon pizza with caviar, and grilled cheese sandwiches with chiles and prosciutto. Waitstaff can pass easy-to-eat nibbles, while something more involved, such as a panini counter with cheese, pastrami, savory spreads, and crispy bread, is better kept at an ‘action station’ that’s stocked with cocktail plates and napkins where guests help themselves....
