Japanese Food Cravings
More people are becoming familiar with the unique culinary culture of Japan as the cuisine spreads throughout the country. People are lining up to get their hands on tempura, ramen, sushi rolls and other Japanese dishes. I'm taking a break and ordering takeout in the interim, but home cooks like myself are busily preparing their way through replicating some of their favorite Japanese dishes at home.
I ordered the following:
Shrimp and Vegetable Tempura
Agedashi Tofu
Philladelphia Roll
Salmon Skin Roll
California Roll
"If I were trapped in one city and had to eat one nation's cuisine for the rest of my life, I would not mind eating Japanese. I adore Japanese food. I love it." - Anthony Bourdain

Teriyaki Chicken with Sweet Slaw
Teriyaki chicken, which is sweet, salty, and sticky, is the ideal weeknight meal. The Japanese phrase "teriyaki" describes grilled dishes that have been seasoned with soy sauce using a marinade, basting, or dipping sauce. Teriyaki, as it is known to Americans, has Japanese American roots and often consists of additional sweetness from sugar or mirin, as well as aromatics and occasionally fruit juice. For our home-made teriyaki sauce, we use fresh ginger, garlic, green onions, soy sauce, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to create that cherished flavor with a hint of tang.
Complete the meal by serving this popular takeout staple with a sweet slaw and white rice.
“I cook with wine, sometimes I even add it to the food.”― W.C. Fields
