One day, Marc excitedly told me that he bought a new toy for the kitchen. Can you tell what he bought? Homemade Thai curry with 3 kinds of mushrooms and 3 kinds of noodles (or should I say 2 zoodles and 1 noodles) in my fav bowl from @toiro_kitchen_and_supply ❤️ヘルシーな食生活を目指す夫がズッキーニヌードルを作る小道具なんぞを買ったのでタイカレーと一緒に食べてみました。美味しいけれどやっぱり普通のヌードルの食感は欲しいの黒米でできたパッタイ麺でカサ増し。#turningoffjapanesecooks #zoodles (at TOIRO)

Need to detox after the weekend of partying? Make this delicious kale salad w @weolivepasadena pineapple balsamic vinegar. Just mix it w olive oil, fabulous kale from @the_garden_of_ @thehfm, nutty hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, goji berries, raisin and quinoa. Your body and palate will thank you😉 パサデナにあるオリーブオイル屋さんで買ったパイナップルバルサミコ酢がすごく美味しいので、それでケールサラダを作ってみました。お酢もオリーブ油も全て試飲できるので楽しいですお店です。#turningoffjapanesecooks #kale (at Hollywood Farmers' Market)

Woke up early and made rice with green peas that we picked up from @kongthao03 @thehfm. Most of the steps to make this spring treat is on my story! ロサンゼルスでも豆ご飯の季節です。ファーマーズマーケットで1パウンド12ドル、安いのか高いのか、それとも1パウンドも買う私がアホなのか。#whatjapanesepeopleeat @whatjapanesepeopleeat #turningoffjapanesecooks (at Hollywood Farmers' Market)

Protein overload! @meguminatto mixed with avocado over @meijitofu supreme tofu. My secret ingredient? Yuzukosho made by @morihiroonodera! Perfect dinner for #NattoAmbassador (me!) ロサンゼルスは日中25度という冷奴日和なのです。メイジトウフさんの美味しいお豆腐にめぐみ納豆の小粒版、太郎納豆とアボカドをいただきものの柚子胡椒で和えて。#納豆アンバサダー #turningoffjapanesecooks

Soba is definitely one of my favorite food and now I know how to make it. ...Didn’t say I’m good at it😭 Took @sonokosakai soba making class on the last day of 2017... my noodles were about 4 times broader than I’d like, and inconsistent, but the firm texture and the smell of buckwheat are amazing! Pro tip: when you buy soba noodles at a store, make sure buckwheat is listed as the first ingredient. Many on the market are not. 大晦日、お蕎麦作りのクラスに参加、きしめんかと思うような太さの麺になってしまいましたがやっぱり手打ちの歯ごたえ、喉越しは違いますねー。年越しそばはもちろん、大好きな蕎麦サラダにもしていただきました。日本食嫌いの夫も実は蕎麦結構好きで、スープベースを洋風にしたりすると喜んで食べてます。#turningoffjapanesecooks #sobanoodles

I’m nominating myself as the natto ambassador and I’ll try posting #NattoOfTheWeek every week in 2018. To kick things off, here’s @meguminatto mixed with ginger miso bomb with all other delicious veggies from @thehfm. 大好きなめぐみ納豆に生姜味噌卵のふわふわソースを混ぜてファーマーズマケットのお野菜たっぷり丼。来年は納豆アンバサダーになって毎週納豆ポストしよう！(勝手にノミネート) #nattoambassador #turningoffjapanesecooks #natto

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate, Happy Sunday with no fear of Monday to the rest of us. Cranberry sauce includes leftover berries. 今日はクリスマスイブですが、うちはサンクスギビングの料理を作ってます。一ヶ月前は日本にいてターキー食べられなかったのでその代わりに。クランベリーソースは残ってたベリー類も入れちゃいます。#turningoffjapanesecooks #holidaycooking

Tonjiru, literally means pork soup. It’s warm, hearty and comfort miso soup that us Japanese and all Japanese food enthusiasts enjoy. I cooked it with the best ingredients available: Thinly sliced tender pork belly from @standingsbutchery; momen (firm) tofu from @meijitofu; veggies from @thehfm, dashi by @kayanoya.official and last but not least.... sake lees miso mix that I made during @hakkaisansake fermentation workshop I took in Tokyo. I sprinkled @yawataya.isogoro shichimi for a little kick. 先月東京で八海山さんの主催する酒粕味噌床づくりのワークショップに参加した時に作った酒粕味噌。ロサンゼルスに持ち帰って毎日のようにあれやこれやと料理に使って至福のひと時を楽しんでます。豚汁は知り合いのブッチャーに三枚肉を薄ーく切ってもらってふわっとした食感。#turningoffjapanesecooks #japanesecooking #sakekasu (at 八海山千年こうじや)
