Mega Cat Studios reached out to me about their new video game that was coming out, called Bite the Bullet! If you follow our SushiCodes channel, you’ll know that Son and I are game devs, and also gamers. So we know how much work goes into launching a game, and…
It’s pumpkin season! If the rumors are true, Starbucks is bringing back the pumpkin spice latte today. Who’s ready for their PSL fix? I haven’t had a pumpkin spice latte in years, partially due to my poor body hating coffee, and partially because I’m less into super sweet drinks the…
Boba, bubble tea… whatever you call it, we love it! We’ll be posting a recipe for a boba drink next, but in the meantime I thought we’d have Shrimpy show you how to turn dried tapioca balls into restaurant-quality boba! Boba from The Boba Book Ingredients 2 cups filtered water,…
I. Love. Slow cooker recipes. I know everybody loves their Instant Pots, but even though I own one, I somehow missed that bandwagon. Pressure cookers still scare me… but if you have a favorite Instant Pot recipe that you think I should try, let me know! But… slow cookers. I…
What is your culture’s dumpling? I am a huge fan of all dumplings, but as someone who’s half-Japanese, my culture’s dumplings are gyoza. Imagine – it’s a chilly, rainy night in Tokyo. Finally, after a 10+ hour flight, and another hour-long train ride into the city from Narita airport, you’ve…
Last time we made dumpling wrappers. Next time we’re making gyoza. But you can’t have gyoza without a good dipping sauce! This is savory and tangy and just the slightest bit spicy. If you have chili crisp, the oil from that would be EXCELLENT here – the garlicky flavor is…
Later this week Allison’s going to be making some gyoza, but today we’re bringing you her brand new sous chef – Shrimpy! You can absolutely use store-bought gyoza wrappers, but today Shrimpy’s here to teach you how to make them from scratch! We’re using a recipe from Andrea Nguyen’s Asian…
When I was browsing through the Aloha Kitchen cookbook, it was such a challenge to pick a protein to go with my mac salad! Do I go with chashu? Spam? Maybe some mochiko chicken, or beef teriyaki? So many good choices, so little time! I ended up choosing this shoyu…
When I did the Aloha Kitchen cookbook redemption a few weeks ago, I had a really difficult time choosing between recipes. Do I do something with spam? Or something sweet? And how could I possibly pass up making a plate lunch? While I ended up picking the ginger misoyaki butterfish…
I never had fresh figs, growing up. They were just never a part of our dining repertoire. Fig Newtons – of course! But I had never eaten a fresh fig. It wasn’t until I was in my 20s, and happened to receive figs as part of a CSA box, that…
We’re starting to really get into the groove of cooking and filming videos for our YouTube channel, and I’m having a lot of fun with it! Is there anything you’d like to see me cook? Coming up very soon… something spicy with black sesame seeds. I promise I’m not diseased,…
Despite being half Japanese, black sesame in desserts did not feature strongly in my childhood. Mochi and anko, white sesame and even shoyu… But it wasn’t until I was in my 20s that I had my first black sesame dessert. Way back in 2012, I started a podcast called Miso…
Spinach and chickpeas. Sounds like kind of a boring dish, right? But the whole is so much more than the sum of its parts. This used to be my favorite after-workout, quick, easy, healthy, tasty, satisfying meal. I’d come home from a late aerial or pole class, pop this in…
We were first introduced to this specific type of kimchi at Market World – a Korean grocery store that we’ve been frequenting for the last few years. We used to go there often, and stock up on all sorts of kimchi and other banchan. At the time we were busy…

Golden egg curry… sounds like something straight out of a fable, right? This recipe is from the Burma cookbook, at the request of another one of our community members – TheBardVyune! You start with the most important ingredient – the eggs! Hard boil them, then stick ’em in an ice…
