Matcha Butter Cookies
We love matcha! These butter cookies aren’t too sweet and they highlight the delicate bitterness of matcha (green tea powder). Fumi has been gobbling these up. Enjoy with a cup of hot tea.
Easy Latkes (Potato Pancakes)
Have you ever had a latke before? They're a type of potato pancake that's part of the Jewish cuisine and traditionally prepared for Hanukkah. It's absolutely delicious and quite easy to make! We made some recently and wanted to share the recipe with you all.
Beet Kinpira
Do you know about kinpira-gobo? We used to make it for our orinigiri (Japanese rice ball) when we had a store front on Dupont street in Toronto. Kinpira is usually made with burdock roots and carrots.
Since I am in Japan, I sent OKAZU to my Japanese friends to see how they use it.
This recipe is from one of my friends who make kinpira with beets instead of burdock roots and carrots. It's super easy and delicious, so I wanted to share it with you!
