Bento & Lunchbox Ideas
Japanese-inspired lunchbox recipes your kids will actually eat. Great for school lunches.
Tuna Mayo Sushi - A Japanese Home Favourite
Tuna mayo is one of those classic fillings that always feels familiar and easy. These slim sushi rolls are simple to make at home and are especially good for lunchboxes or a light meal. The creamy tuna and fresh cucumber make a combination that is simple, but very satisfying.
Karaage (Japanese Fried Chicken) - The Japanese Marinade That Makes It So Good
This karaage recipe is inspired by a recipe from a popular Japanese home cooking website. The chicken is marinated with soy sauce, ginger and garlic, then coated in potato starch and fried until golden and crisp. The marinade is very simple, but it makes a big difference to the flavour. This is one of the most popular chicken dishes in Japan and is often made at home.
Teriyaki Chicken Recipe – The Japanese Method Most People Don’t Know
This is the teriyaki chicken method I learned from a Japanese recipe site and have used ever since. With just five simple steps, you get crisp skin, juicy meat, and that familiar glossy sauce that makes teriyaki so satisfying. The key is not just the sauce, but how you cook the chicken in the pan. It has become one of those recipes I cook again and again in my own kitchen.
