Japanese

Duck breast teriyaki

Duck breast teriyaki
You don't need a special occasion to enjoy duck at home. If a whole bird is too much for a meal, or if cooking a whole bird is too much work on busy days, fully deboned duck breast is available in better groceries and supermarkets. Cooking it with teriyaki sauce is a simple way to indulge.
Cook time: 25 minutes minutes
Servings: 1 person

Cook time: 10 minutes minutes
Servings: 3 people

Japanese-style shiitake and green beans stir fry

Sweet, salty and full of umami. It's a side dish for omnivores, a main dish for non-meat eaters and a keto dieter's delight. That's just some of the ways to appreciate this dish.
Cook time: 5 minutes minutes
Servings: 1 person
