My experiment with buckwheat flour continues. This time I decided to make Japanese style savory pancakes, Okonomi-yaki. The pancakes were packed with a lot of vegetables, including cabbage, scallion, corn, and Edamame. Served with Okonomi-yaki sauce, homemade vegan mayo, chopped scallion, and kimchi. Super tasty!!

Matcha and Coffee Daifuku
クリームチーズ餡入り抹茶・コーヒー大福
Monday, September 30, 2019
I always keep a can of sweet red beans in my pantry. It’s my favorite, and I know once I open a can, I will have a hard time stopping eating the whole thing. So I resist it as long as I can. Last weekend I was finally ready to have some, and after giving […]
Vegetable Potstickers
もちもち皮で野菜餃子
Saturday, September 14, 2019
This week has been a bit difficult week for me. My energy was low, and I didn’t have a lot of motivation to cook after work. I ate spaghetti four nights in a row, and none of them were great… Then, today I had this idea of making potstickers from scratch. It just came to […]

オーブン・カレーパン
Sunday, August 18, 2019
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.

One of my favorite summer dishes. Cold Chinese noodles with sweet “eggs” and various veggies. Served with sweet and sour sauce. So refreshing and super tasty!
Melon Bread: Matcha & Raspberry
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.
Zen Soba Soup
ZEN 蕎麦
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.
Fried “Fish” Onigirazu Rice Sandwich
V”魚”フライおにぎらず
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 […]
Fried Rice with Watermelon Pickles
西瓜ピクルス炒飯
Tuesday, July 9, 2019
Fried rice with homemade watermelon pickles. Well, technically rice was fried with watermelon pickles, scrambled tofu, and Japanese Shiso basil. I really enjoyed the crunchy texture of the pickles. 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 […]
