Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Japanese fried chicken (Kara-age)

    • KarinaFrancis on August 06, 2017

      The marinade gave it a good flavour and the potato flour made for a very crunchy coating. I think I will try another recipe before I decide on a go-to kara-age

  • Curry rice gratin (Yaki-curry)

    • lizbot2000 on July 08, 2017

      Really delicious and relatively quick and easy to make. The chocolate and banana add a certain something to the regular curry sauce, though you can't really taste either on their own. Makes a huge amount of super filling food, so have freezer space ready.

      I halved this recipe and it was great for a family of 3 with leftovers. The sauce is delicious and easy. I am not sure that the cheese is necessary but I never say no to cheese.

  • Fried seafood and vegetables with ponzu tsuyu (Tempura)

    • jacqie on December 11, 2020

      The ponzu sauce is well worth making.

  • Chicken hot pot (Mizutaki)

    • meggan on September 19, 2018

      Fun and easy. I just poached the chicken in box stock and then boiled all the veg in the broth.

  • Fried rice and cabbage pancake (Rice yaki)

    • mjes on January 24, 2022

      This is the Kumamoto version of Osaka's okonomiyaki. It is rice rather than cabbage based but has the same flexibility in what on includes in it. The class I took on okonomiyaki mentioned this version but I hadn't bothered to track down recipe. This particular recipe calls for scallops, squid, shrimp, mozzarella, and bacon. This would be too busy a mix for my taste even in a fried rice. I will try the recipe again with more variation in vegetables and less in seafood ... but I doubt this will become a favorite.
