Curry bun is one of popular stuffed buns in Japan. I made a big pot of curry, so I thought it was time to make some. Curry buns are traditionally deep-fried, but I decided to bake them in the oven this time. Very happy with the result.

メロンパン：抹茶＆ラズベリー

Melon bread is a popular Japanese bread. This is basically a sweet bun with crunchy cookie-like top. I’ve talked about melon bread before. Orange Melon Bread. Vanilla and Raspberry. Lemon. The type of this bread is called melon bread (my mother always makes them with melon flavor), but you can make them with any flavor […]
Almond Tofu
アーモンド豆腐
Saturday, July 27, 2019
Remember my first homemade tofu, Sunflower Tofu? Well, I liked it so much that I decided to make tofu again. This time, an almond version. It’s so easy to make, and it turns out great this time too. Very creamy and smooth.

Monday, July 22, 2019
A bowl of soba noodle soup always makes me smile. First soba noodles. And then soup. But after that you can just add whatever you like. Lucky me, I had some homemade sunflower seed tofu. I hope everyone had a good start of the week.

Sunday, July 14, 2019
Remember I made Onigirazu rice sandwich the other day? It was such a big hit at our house, I decided to make another one. I thought the vegan fried “fish” would perfect to put in this rice sandwich. This time I put too much inside the Nori seaweed sheet, and I was afraid that it […]

You don’t have to do this, but I like to serve my fried rice shaped like this. This is how I remember a lot of Chinese […]
Shoyu Ramen

Ramen has become super popular in the U.S. the last several years. I am loving the trend, but unfortunately it’s still challenging to find vegan ramen. I have tried vegan ramen at some ramen shops, and while I appreciate their effort, there have been only a few times I truly enjoyed. So when I want […]
Onigirazu Rice Sandwich
テンペターメリック豆腐おにぎらず
Friday, July 5, 2019
This style of rice sandwich became extremely popular in Japan about five years ago. It’s called “Onigirazu.” At that time it seemed that everyone in Japan was making this. I’m always a bit behind of trends, and now five years later I made my first Onigirazu. You can basically use anything you like once you […]

Tuesday, June 25, 2019
I love almost any type of noodle soup. But miso noodle soup has a special spot in my heart. As my hometown in Japan is famous for dark miso noodle soup, I grew up eating it a lot. When I made homemade pasta, it looked like the noodles that were used for the miso noodle […]
