Kani Salad is a delicious Japanese seafood salad brimming with contrasting textures, tastes, and colors. Although it's known as Kani Salad in the West, the imitation crab meat used to make the dish is called kanikama in Japanese, so in Japan, the dish is known as Kanikama Sarada (カニカマ サラダ).

One food form factor I really enjoy is the dumpling. In my culinary travels I’ve come across a myriad of versions, every one of them impressive in their own way. Nokedli are a beautiful freeform pasta that accompanies Chicken Paprikash, but they also make a delicious side dish to any roast or stew. And if you like spicy, these Chinese Wontons in Chili Oil will fire up your appetite, especially if you take the time to make my Homemade Chili Oil. Of course, Japan has its famous versions of the dumpling, and I have recipes for Gyoza, Siu Mai, and even Mitarashi Dango. These recipes make great projects for a gathering of friends and family, or even for stocking your freezer with easy future meals.

As the weather warms up and we approach Summer, my tastes turn to cool, refreshing salads that get you out of the kitchen quickly. Some of these salads are easy to prepare ahead, which makes mealtime easy. Kani Salad is a quick and tasty fix. Creamy Sesame Dressing poured over any combination of vegetables you like makes a wonderfully nutty side, or add chopped cooked chicken or tofu to make it a meal. Japanese Smashed Cucumber Salad goes great with rich grilled meats, offering a refreshing crunch with a mild kick. Enjoy the changes taking place around you, outdoors and in the kitchen!

I'm not going to be able to make the premier tonight, but I DO have a new video to share! It's a rolled omelette called Dashimaki Tamago that's made with a high ratio of dashi stock to egg. This gives it a tender juicy texture and it's one of my favorite comfort foods. I show techniques to make it in both a Tamagoyaki pan as well as a regular frying pan and it can be made with just a handful of ingredients (eggs, dashi, potato starch, soy sauce, and salt). The video goes live at 8am PT, 11am ET here: https://youtu.be/MiOVugI1nIs!
Something about that golden, crispy crust that fried foods develop gets my mouth watering, even before the oil gets hot. Let me show you all of my techniques for making succulent, crispy, crave-worthy fried foods, from Fried Oysters to Tonkatsu to my favorite: Karaage. There are lots of choices on this list, including Atsuage, which is fried tofu you can add to many other dishes. So break out the oil and get frying!

Breakfast in Japan is usually savory, and miso soup, rice, and pickles are the staple menu. New, innovative trends are emerging, though, as Western flavors become more popular. Toast, eggs, and even oatmeal with a Japanese twist are becoming popular alternatives. I’ve made a playlist of my favorite breakfast dishes, including my Matcha Oatmeal and Japanese Breakfast Toast. They’re also great choices for a Western brunch. Check out this Playlist: www.youtube.com/playlist?list...
Although it has international roots, Japanese Curry is one of Japan's most popular home-cooked meals. Most people use bricks of instant roux, but I make mine from scratch. It's not much more complicated, and it's healthier for sure. If you're super ambitious, you can even blend your own Japanese curry powder. Then you'll have a Japanese Curry that's truly "from scratch." Check out this playlist of all the other ways we use curry in Japan! PLAYLIST: www.youtube.com/playlist?list...
