Spicy Miso Marinated Chicken

Spicy Miso Marinated Chicken is a flavoursome pan-fried chicken dish made with a combination of traditional Japanese misozuke and a little spicy kick from gochujang – a Korean fermented condiment.

Compared to the misozuke marinade that I introduced in Pork Misozuke, today’s marinade has a slightly stronger flavour, which works very well with chicken.

You will need to marinate the chicken fillets overnight to allow for the flavour to penetrate the flesh. You can even freeze the chicken while it is marinating….

Japanese Butter Rolls are soft and fluffy bread rolls with a delicate buttery flavour and a hint of sweetness. The uniqueness of Japanese Butter Rolls is the shape of the roll and the texture, which is almost like a sponge. The glossy golden-brown surface also looks appetising. Japanese Butter Roll is not as sweet or buttery…

Hero shot of Japanese Green Pea Rice (Mame Gohan).

I like Japanese Green Pea Rice because it looks as if round jade gemstones are scattered throughout the rice. The charm of Japanese Green Pea Rice comes from the rich aroma of fresh, seasonal peas and their natural sweetness, which is enhanced with a simple seasoning of just salt. There are two different methods of making…

Daikon Steak with Garlic Soy Butter Sauce is quite a filling dish even though the main ingredient is just daikon.

Hero shot of Braised Lotus Roots and Beef (Shigureni).

Braised Lotus Roots and Beef (Shigureni) is the ultimate sweet-and-savoury topping to enjoy with cooked rice. The refreshing ginger flavour makes it even more appetising. It is very similar to my other Shigureni recipe, Braised Beef and Burdock with Genger. Instead of shaved burdock, I used thinly sliced lotus roots. The flavouring ingredients are the…

Hero shot of Boiled Gyoza Recipe (Sui Gyoza).

Of the four variations of gyoza that I mentioned in my post Steamed Gyoza, Boiled Gyoza Recipe (Sui Gyoza) is probably the easiest to cook. Boiling the gyoza dumpling makes the wrappers softer and the filling juicier. The slightly garlicky soy-vinegar sauce adds another layer of flavour to the dish. Boiled Gyoza is called ‘sui…

Hero shot of 7-Eleven Egg Sandwich (Tamago Sando).

I am excited to show you how to make a copycat version of the Japanese 7-Eleven Egg Sandwich. The filling is simply egg mixed with Kewpie mayonnaise and seasonings, but the combination of soft Japanese bread and the creamy filling is unforgettable. Nagi told me that the 7-Eleven Egg Sandwich is all the rage at…
