In tropical climes from India to Mexico, green mangoes are peeled and eaten like a vegetable. Dipped in hot sauce and salt, most people would have trouble identifying the crunchy yellow sticks as the unripe version of the sweet orange tropical fruit adored around the world.

With feathery blooms peaking out from their wintered bark, and allergens aloft in the cool air, spring is rapidly approaching. Perhaps this change of season is the culprit behind my chef’s block the past week. Half of me isn’t quite ready to let go of the robust, slow-cooked dishes of winter, yet the other half [...]

Despite being Japanese, I used to hate eating cooked fish as a child. I think this may have had something to do with the fact that the only way my mother ever prepared it was overcooked, with a dash of Season All. It’s not that she was a bad cook, she did teach me to [...]

One of my favourite Japanese restaurants in San Francisco is Maki. It’s a little hole in the wall in Japan Center next to a bookstore and while it would be hard to go wrong with anything on the menu, their specialty is Wappa Meshi. It’s a steamed rice dish that’s a specialty of the Fukishima [...]

When it comes to seafood, common knowledge tells us to cook it hot and fast, so when I saw slow roasted Steelhead on the menu at the Painted Lady in Newberg Oregon, I was skeptical. I guess curiosity won over my skepticism because I ordered it.
The dish as a whole was a disaster. There [...]

I had some bass left over from another dish I made, so I dropped it in some all-purpose Japanese marinade and turned it into this donburi.
There’s a layer of dashi tamago (japanese style scrambled eggs) between the rice and the bass that adds some sweet richness to the dish and the sansho (a.k.a. sichuan [...]
