    Japanese Recipes

    Here's a collection of all the Japanese and Japanese inspired recipes on the blog! Some of the recipes are more authentic (ie yaki onigiri, or crispy rice balls), whereas some are less so (ie the hojicha latte with red bean whipped cream). If you're not sure where to start, I'd recommend the butter mochi (which is more Hawaiian/Japanese than purely Japanese) and the yaki manju.

    This flaky Japanese pastry known as yaki manju can be filled with sweet red bean, lima bean, sweet potato, etc. #japanese #hawaiian #yakimanju #manju #redbean

    Yaki Manju

    White plate with three big furikake chicken tenders, rice sprinkled with sesame seeds and a few small sheets of seaweed. There's a bowl of marinated bean sprouts, as well as a smaller bowl of bright yellow pickled radish, in the background.

    Cabbage pancake might not sound that appetizing, but this custardy, super flavorful lap cheong okonomiyaki is more than its description! #lapcheong #okonomiyaki #japanesefood #weeknightdinner

    These yaki onigiri are delicious plain, since the rice is already seasoned, and the crispy crunchy rice bits are the stars anyways. #japanese #asian #rice

    This shiitake mushroom and avocado sushi is so flavorful you could eat it plain, but a touch of soy sauce and more pickled ginger on the side doesn't hurt! #mushrooms #avocado #sushi #vegetarian
