It is difficult and time consuming to cook brown rice well. Now, we are excited to share with you a fantastically simple way to cook fluffy and delicious brown rice, it's called "bikkuri-daki." The word bikkuri means surprise and daki means to boil, in Japanese. The surprise, which we will explain below, shocks the grains of rice into splitting their shells, and this results in a fluffy texture.
Feel like having some hot, tasty noodle soup? This tempura udon soup is a Japanese favourite. The soft noodles combined with the crispiness of the tempura and the immensely flavourful broth will definitely leave you wanting more! This dish is absolutely comforting and just perfect for those cold, rainy days.

This recipe was a happy accident. I wanted to make a Lentil, Kale, Quinoa stew, which I made recently and loved, but I didn’t have the chopped tomatoes that I thought I had. For the past two months I have been kind of challenging myself to use up food from the pantry where there are large sacks of rye kernel, lentils, quinoa, spices, buckwheat flour, etc. This stuff is mostly left over from when we closed the Abokichi sandwich shop and café. We like the miso soup version of this recipe even better than the original tomato. I would happily make this over and over again. This is not a Japanese dish and yet the miso flavour works so well.
