Jianbing
A chewy crepe with a layer of egg, filled with a spicy dobanjiang peanut sauce, green onions, and kettle chips – we’re making jianbing today! We’d been up at 3:30 am to catch our flight from LAX to Portland. We took the train into downtown… and then got hopelessly lost, as the tall buildings interfered
Garlicky Salt n’ Pepper Shishito Peppers
What is your favorite bar food? I’m not much of a bar person – I don’t really drink – but I love the concept of bar food. Tasty, greasy, sometimes spicy, snackable foods. I particularly love izakayas – bar food, but make it Japanese. Edamame, karaage, sashimi, tebasaki, yakitori… y’all can keep your booze, I’m
Mooncakes
It’s mooncake season!!! We made the salted egg yolks. Shrimpy made our fillings. And now, it’s what you’ve been waiting for… time to make the mooncakes! We are using a recipe from Omnivore’s Cookbook, which I’ve used several times with good results. We are going to start with a bit of golden syrup. Mine is

Salted Egg Yolks
A little over a week from now is this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival, or Moon Festival. The actual date is different every year, but this year it will fall on October 1st. If you know me, or follow me on Instagram (I’m @sushiday!) then you’ll know by now that I love mooncakes. Every year around this
Shrimpy’s Perfect Fried Egg
What is your perfect fried egg? It’s different for everybody. Is it perfectly round, with clean white edges? Or is it irregular, with frizzly fried crispy edges? I’m a crispy edge kind of gal. Give me the flavor, the texture, the crunchy bits that are oh so good. This is my perfect fried egg. It
Weekly Wanderings 2020/9
What is time anymore? It’s been A Week of filming, filming, and more filming. The beginning of the week was still smoky, but in the last couple of days it finally cleared up. I can go outside again! Been in a breakfast sandwich kinda mood lately. This was bacon (left over from the okonomiyaki video),
