Oyako-don is one of the popular donburi menus same as Gyu-don in Japanese cuisine. Donburi is a dish over the rice. “Oyako” means a parent in Japanese and “Don” is an abbreviation of donburi. We use chicken and egg for this dish that’s why this dish is called “Oyako-don”. This is really easy and simple dish. Also, all you need is Chicken, egg and onion (plus, seasonings)! For seasonings, I recommend to use Dashi soup stock rather than using only plain water. Please try it out!!
I baked cocoa & choco chip cookies with my son. This cookie is so far my family’s favorite cookie and we baked this several times already. I hope you love our family’s sweets recipe!
In my YouTube channel, I’ll introduce how to make a salad with Mizuna, daikon radish and fried tofu. I put dried daikon radish for this recipe. There are so many dried ingredients here in Japan. The merits of dried ingredients are…1.Nutritious (more vitamin!), 2. Preserve for long time, 3.Tasty! I like fresh and raw ingredients a lot but I also eat dried ingredients often. This dried daikon radish is one of my favorites! After rehydrating, it has chunky and crunchy texture and you can even hear your biting sound! For dressings, I chose white balsamic vinegar this time. But please also try other vinegars (i.e. raspberry vinegar, apple cider vinegar etc) to compare the flavors. Enjoy my creative salad and please try it out!!! Read More

Sukiyaki (すき焼き) is a Japanese style hot pot and has thinly sliced beef, cooked with various vegetables in a table-pot cast-iron pan. Sukiyaki is one of the famous Japanese cuisine same as Sushi, Tempura and Ramen. We usually eat Sukiyaki with family and friends at home. For this dish, I recommend to prepare good quality and thinly sliced Japanese beef loin. The quality of beef controls the flavor of Sukiyaki. I like Sukiyaki because I can also eat lots of vegetables including grilled tofu. Don’t forget about the flavor of Sukiyaki sauce. This sauce is well mixed with dipping sauce which is beaten raw egg!
