Sweet Potato Fries with OKAZU Mayo

July 15, 2018

We’re giving the classic spicy mayo dip a bit of a spin. The grittiness of the Okazu makes for a satisfying way to enjoy sweet potatoes! By Justine Wong @ imakefoodnotfriends.

Serves 2 (as sides)

Ingredients

2 large sweet potatoes

2 tbsp olive oil, generously

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 sprig of rosemary, chopped finely (optional)

Parsley for topping (optional)

2 tbsp of mayonnaise

4-5 tsp of Okazu chili oil

Directions

Heat oven to 425°F. Line a large shallow baking pan with foil.

Peel the sweet potato and cut it into 1/4-inch-thick sticks or wedges.

Drizzle generously with olive oil to coat and finely chop a sprig of rosemary to mix. Place sweet potatoes onto a lined baking pan at 425°F for 10-15 minutes, turning them over half way.

Salt and pepper to taste. Top with parsley. For the dipping sauce, mix mayonnaise with a generous amount of Okazu chili oil to taste.

Matcha Butter Cookies

December 22, 2020

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.

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

November 10, 2020

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!
