Okinawan Sweet FrittersI grew up loving this delicate treat, both from the market in Okinawa (watching elderly women fry these up in giant cast iron pots) and made at home by my "Oba-ason" (Okinawan grandmother)". I use to wait for these little doughnuts to float on top in her pot over a wood-fed fire. (we never had a stove). Similar to the American version… |

Pan Grilled Tofu with Miso GlazeThis is an outstanding and pretty appetizer to serve before any asian meal. Our kids, who are somewhat indifferent to tofu, gobbled these up.

Tofu Chawan MushiHere is another simple tofu recipe you can either serve hot (great in winter) or chilled, although I would go for the former. Chawan Mushi/Chyawanmushi/茶碗蒸し is a Japanese way to steam a flan/pudding that is not sweet. It makes for great appetizers or full meals if served aplenty. Great for kids and waistline-conscious people! |
