Saw this post about Japanese BBQ, yaki onigiri. When I see something cool, I try to make it. Here’s my first attempt. I stuffed some with ground chicken and onions. I tried my best. How did I do?

Made Japanese university potatoes tonight — daigaku imo — and served them to my family and my parents. Everybody loved them. Homegrown sweet potatoes, fried, then tossed in a brown-sugar glaze with a little soy and sesame. Crisp on the outside, soft in the middle, sweet with that savory edge so you keep reaching for another piece.

This tiny umeboshi has completely bewitched me. I want to add it to everything. What an amazing superfood. Tonight I made umeboshi onigiri three ways: chopped umeboshi mixed in with sides rolled in black and white sesame seeds; nori-wrapped with umeboshi plum in the center to look like the Hinomaru (Japanese flag); and umeboshi yaki onigiri stuffed with BBQ chicken, a dash of Japanese barbecue sauce, extra umeboshi—brushed with sesame oil and tamari while grilling—and sides rolled in furikake. Not sure if barbecue-stuffed onigiri is a thing, but it felt right to me. Out of all the onigiri I’ve made, these are my favorites. 🍙

This is hands-down the best bread I’ve ever baked. Just made shokupan (Japanese milk bread) for the first time. House smells amazing! Super soft, fluffy, and delicious. Tomorrow I’m making Japanese fruit sandwiches with homemade whipped cream and strawberries using this bread. Thanks everyone for the real-time tips. 🍞

Just tried つくりおき食堂まりえ’s "Melt-in-Your-Mouth Eggplant Lasagna (No Layers Needed)" and it was absolutely delicious! I used my own homegrown eggplants (picked fresh from the garden today) and simply spooned the seasoned meat on top with cheese — no pre-cooking the meat at all. The eggplant turned out super melty and soaked up all the juicy meat and gooey cheese flavors, with those sweet burst tomatoes. I’m amazed that my son, who usually won’t touch eggplant, ate an entire plank! Thank you, Marie — this one’s a keeper.

Second attempt at curry bread. This time I made it with Shokupan (Japanese milk bread) and it was delicious. I really appreciate everyone’s help and support making this today. I had a lot of fun!

🍒 Southern Ambrosia Salad: A True Classic! Had a craving this morning and whipped up this heavenly Southern dessert named after the food of the gods. Dates back to the 1800s, potluck staple by mid-1900s. Whipped topping, sour cream, coconut, mini marshmallows, pineapple, mandarin oranges, halved maraschino cherries, chopped pecans. Mix, chill, serve. Pure nostalgia!

A Japanese chef suggested I try his Corn & Cheese Yaki Onigiri, so I went for it and made it three different ways. I marinated fire roasted corn and cheese in soy sauce, mixed it into warm rice with a touch of turmeric for that golden color, then tested three versions: - Regular: pan-fried exactly as he recommended - Panko-breaded and fried - Baked inside cornbread muffins Sweet corn, salty cheese, savory soy — this combo is fire. Huge thanks to MKzK｜調理師×Xとnote for the great idea! 🌽🧀🍙 Who’s trying it?

My family loved the karaage chicken I made so much I had to try it with tofu. I made a homemade marinade with soy, ginger, garlic, mirin, sake, sesame oil and dashi and oh my goodness, dashi changes everything! Double-fried it crispy and it turned out absolutely amazing. Crispy outside, silky inside. This was one of my favorite tofu dishes I’ve made. Have you tried tofu karaage?

Elon Musk Starlink I used Starlink last August to post my video of a massive glacier calving close to our boat. It’s long but the entire glacier kept falling. One of the coolest experiences of my life. Worth a watch.

I did it! Made tempura ice cream at home and it actually worked. My daughter filmed it for me. Crispy hot shell, ice-cold creamy center. The secret is wrapping the ice cream in pound cake first, then dipping in tempura batter. The ones rolled in panko with cinnamon and brown sugar were so good I did the rest that way! Who wants one? 🔥🍨

I’ve been having so much fun making onigiri since I learned how earlier this year. Tried a bunch of different versions and still have more ideas I want to experiment with. Any favorite fillings I should try next? 🍙

I did it! I’m so excited and had no idea I could make something like this! I wanted banana bread today but couldn’t find a Shokupan version, so I made one up: banana spice chocolate swirl Shokupan! So soft, fluffy, and tastes amazing. Full recipe and step-by-step video in the comments! 🍌🍫🍞

I just made okonomiyaki for the first time and loved it! I rarely use cabbage or daikon (Japanese radish), so I had no idea what to do with them. Told Grok my ingredients and it suggested okonomiyaki, traditional Japanese savory cabbage pancakes. Shredded the veggies, mixed batter, formed loose rounds, fried. Absolutely amazing! Crispy outside, tender inside topped with plum sauce (used since no okonomi sauce), Japanese mayo, bonito flakes, furikake, sesame, green onions. Flavor explosion!

I made Chicken Nanban for the very first time today and it turned out ridiculously good! 🔥 Big thanks to amazing gLace for suggesting it this morning and introducing me to this dish. Crispy shio koji chicken, sweet-tangy chili glaze, and bright homemade tartar with garden spring onions and capers… the perfect combo. Excuse the family-style plating. We weren’t sure about the tartar at first, but serving it separately was pointless. Everyone absolutely devoured it!

Edamame yaki onigiri with fresh lemon thyme. 🌱 I brushed these with a glaze I made from soy sauce, sesame oil, white miso, fresh ginger, and a splash of rice wine vinegar. Sweet, savory, nutty, smoky with a bright zing — the flavors turned out incredible. 🍙🔥

It worked!! 💎 From yesterday’s “had to try this” to this beautiful mosaic Broken Glass Cake. Sour cream + condensed milk version just like the Latvia supermarket one. Recipe and steps are in the video!

Found Hata Ramune at my local grocery store! My daughter and I battled opening these forever. Is there a trick to opening them? 😂 She finally got the marble down. Loved it!
