Vermicelli noodle salad with julienne vegetables

This time I made vermicelli salad. Vermicelli noodles are similar in appearance to Shirataki noodles (popularly known as "Zen noodles" in both Europe and America.)
Vermicelli noodles are also known for having a delicious, light taste. They are often eaten with ponzu (a Japanese citrus-based sauce) or salad dressing.

Nakiri knives are recommended for intricate work such as shredding vegetables.

Happy new year!
New year holiday is one of most important holiday for Japanese family.
All family member and relatives come back to their hometown and celebrate new year with special meal.

Oden hot pot party!

Today’s dinner is Oden!

Oden is a type of Japanese hot pot, made by simmering various ingredients such as radish, various meatball-shaped fish paste, and boiled egg in a soup with soy sauce, sake, and other seasonings.





It is a popular family dish. Many people enjoy eating it at home.

Oden is also sold at convenience stores or street stand bars in winter season.
At Oden bars, you can choose what you would like to eat from a large pot of Oden. Oden is a casual Japanese food and a single ingredient is available from 100yen(less than $1).

When you make it at home, it’s fun to arrange ingredients what you like. I like to put in some western-style foods like sausages and stuffed cabbage. That’s also popular ingredients in modern day Oden.



In order to help flavor penetrate the radish, make a cross shaped cut into the radish.

Tasty french toast for your Sunday brunch

I made french toast. Soak bread in egg liquid and then fry it in butter in a frying pan.






It can be enjoyed as a sweet with maple syrup or fruit, and it is also delicious with bacon or cheese.






You'll need a sharp knife that can cut through the soft, thick bread or sandwiches with many ingredients.

Caprese salad with tomato and mozzarella cheese

I made a delicious caprese salad with tomato and mozzarella cheese.

Cut the tomato into bite-sized pieces and mix together with the mozzarella, vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper. Basil is of course an essential part, but unfortunately it’s not always available in Japan.

When you can’t find basil, shiso leaves (Japanese herb) can give the dish a tasty Japanese twist.

With recipes from all over the world freely available on the Internet, I can’t wait to find more ingredients and cook up more dishes!

I used the petty knife again for this dish. I use smaller knives daily whenever I make side dishes or desserts.

Would you like to try a Japanese kitchen knife with a fine, high-quality cutting edge?

Cooked some taros with our octagonal handle knife

Today, I cooked some taros that I harvested in the farm. Isimmered it slowly with soy sauce, sugar, Japanese soup broth, and sweet sake, making the potatoes very soft and warm. This is a very standard dish in Japan during the cold seasons, and makes a delicious addition to packed bento lunches if you add some extra flavoring.

The taros have a smooth texture and a distinct “slime,” so you must be extremely careful when peeling its skin with a knife– your hands may slip and you may hurt yourself. This is when a trusted kitchen knife with a strong grip comes in handy.

Our kitchen knives have octagonal grips, which prevent slipping and allow you to prepare food without adding extra force to your hands.

Today, we used a knife called “Nakiri” (Vegetable knife), which has a square shape that is distinct to Japanese knives. With this knife, you can even cut through the uneven surfaces of taros with all its different sizes and shapes.

Warm your body with ginger flavor

I just tried making beef and onions simmered in soy sauce.

First slice onions and julienne ginger. Then gently simmer the beef with soy sauce, sugar, and sake.

The flavor of ginger helps increase appetite. In Japan, the autumn leaves have become beautiful, and it’s getting colder and colder. Ginger helps warm your body, so I love to eat a lot of it in the cold winter months.

This dish also tastes great over rice.

Santoku knife is good for cutting the onion slices.
Using a sharp knife means you can prepare onions easily with no tears.
The weight of the blade cuts straight through the onion leaving the layers intact.

The Santoku knife is the knife most commonly used in Japanese homes. As long as you have one, you can handle any ingredient that comes your way, from vegetables to meat and fish. How about to get one?
