Tofu, mizuna and kabu salad with miso dressing

Contrary to Tony Bourdain's impression of vegetarian cuisine, salads don't necessarily play a prominent role in an adventurous meatless diet. But occasionally, when presented with some respectably fresh greens and impeccably fresh tofu, I get the urge Read More...

Omu-udon

Uninspired weeknight cuisine... Lack of inspiration doesn't have to result in dreary food. When I made this, my lack of motivation to cook led me to procrastinate until the only practical options were either to go out and grab some mediocre takeout, or Read More...

Chi goo, meet fava. Brown butter, meet soy sauce.

Chi goo is a slightly crunchy potato-like vegetable. It's called a "river potato" in some translations, and seems to share some textural qualities with lotus root . Apparently the name means "belly button mushrooms" in Cantonese, but it's clearly a root Read More...

Kurogoma financiers with black sugar syrup

Until a little trip to Licorous last fall, I had never thought much of financiers. I don't know why... maybe I never had a good one. I don't have much love for madeleines either. But Licorous' financiers were just too hard to resist... Served warm with Read More...

Homemade Matcha Ice Cream recipe

About 4 or 5 years ago I bought a Cuisinart ice cream maker , and not much longer thereafter I found myself making green tea ice creams on a regular basis. This used to be an expensive endeavor: 30 grams of matcha bought in the U.S. usually costs $7.50–$15.00 Read More...
