Japanese Recipes

Raw, vegan dashi stock – the basis for many Japanese dishes.

After going raw, I really missed veggie sushi from Whole Foods. It was just brown rice, avocado and carrots with soy sauce and wasabi. I missed it so much that I decided to make a raw version.

This miso soup is slightly thicker than the traditional cooked version, but it tastes authentic because of the mushroom dashi. It is light and very filling at the same time.

Honor your inner child! Remember those precious moments as a kid where worries seemed non exsistent? When you felt an inner sense of freedom and creativity? When the littlest things made you giggle and smile? BE A KID AGAIN!!! Collect cartoon characters and invite them to join you in some KimChi Sushi! I my inner children (bi gendered) love Hello Kitty so we decided to get out our favorite Hello Kitty sectional plate and chopsticks for some sushi fun! This recipe is as healthy as healthy can be. It makes a GREAT lunch for you and the kids ; )

This is a variation on a traditional Japanese cucumber salad, which features a vinegar dressing. This version, inspired by RenĂ©e Loux, adds a Japanese citron juice called yuzu, among other things. If you don’t have yuzu, you can substitute lemon juice and a touch of wasabi. Best served chilled.

The tempura batter is really mild. You want to let the sauce have the show. You can dip it Shoyu or make a tempura sauce. I will add the recipe for that when I actually figure it out.
