Recipe of the Day

By Jason
Yakitori- Japan-Guide

Another favorite of ours, it is quick, easy, and cheap. Great for parties and social gatherings. This common Japanese street food is usually made from chicken, and not just the meat. One of the more common versions contains the "giblets." The version we are posting today is just for the meat, but feel free to experiment and see what you like! Photo courtesy LWY

Ingredients:
  • Chicken without bone and skin
  • Japanese leek (negi), leek, or green onion
  • 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Mirin or sake
  • 3 tablespoons Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Honey or maple syrup
  • Small wooden spears
Method:

  1. Mix together 4 tablespoons of soy sauce, 3 tablespoons of sugar, a little bit of honey or maple syrup, a little bit of mirin and water, and heat it up until combined.
  2. Cut chicken into 1 inch squares
  3. Place chicken in marinade and let sit (the longer the more flavor, but 15 minutes is long enough)
  4. Cut leeks into 1 inch pieces
  5. Spear the chicken and the leeks with the sticks
  6. Grill until cooked, make sure to turn them over.

You can fix these up in massive amounts shortly, just scale up the recipe as needed. These are also easy for kids to make. You can also cook these on an electric griddle with good results.

If there are any recipes you want to share or can't find let us know, and we will post them for you.

Cooking Vietnamese Pho with Chef Quang Le

By
Cooking with Chef Quang Le Researching food and spices is a part of our family's daily routine since we ventured into the food industry. Learning about the different components of food makes us appreciate every dish, snack, and drink that we consume. We take every opportunity that we can to continue learning about the flavors of the world. This weekend, I organized a class with a local Vietnamese chef who loves to entertain and educate people through food. Chef Quang Le, co-owner of Clay Pot in Waco Texas, had agreed to teach a class on how to cook traditional Vietnamese Pho.  The class is sponsored by the Association of Asian-American Women in San Angelo, Texas.

Shirataki Noodles

By
 In the last few months, we've been getting many requests for Shirataki ( しらたき ) noodles. Also known as Miracle Noodles. Thanks to Dr. Oz Show and our local newspaper , many consumers are now widely aware of the benefits this miracle noodle can provide as a carb substitute. Shirataki are low carb, low calorie, low fat, high soluble fiber, and gluten-free noodles made from konjac yam or elephant yams. These Asian yams are also called "Devil's Tongue" Yams and the word "shirataki" means "white waterfall", which describes the translucent appearance of the noodles. Shirataki have little to no flavors, they absorb the flavor of the sauce or soup that you cook them into. You can find these noodles in most Asian grocery stores and some health stores. There are the traditional shirataki and konnyaku and there are tofu shirataki noodles. Tofu Shirataki are soy base and requires refrigeration before its open therefore it has a shorter shelf life t...
