Sweet sour chicken
The irrepressible appeal of sweet sour sauce meets lightly crisp chicken thigh fillets cooked Japanese karaage style. The pork version has always been my comfort food, but sweet and sour chicken is just as good. Make the sauce even tastier with the addition of grated garlic and ginger, and a little hoisin sauce.
Oden
A Samurai Gourmet-inspired dish, our version of oden is a fusion of Japanese and Korean. It's not a soup and it's not a stew. It's oden. This recipe has the classic Japanese broth but adds Korean-style fish cake.
Shrimp and cheese spring rolls
Take a break from the usual and savor new flavors in your crispy fried spring rolls by mixing chopped fresh shrimps, scallions, chili, cheese and garlic for the filling. Great as snack or appetizer.
Chashu (Japanese braised pork belly for ramen)
To cook melt-in-the-mouth chashu, roll and tie a slab of pork belly, sear in hot oil then slow cook in a mixture of soy sauce, sake and mirin. Cool and chill overnight to make slicing easier.
