Chicken and Mushroom Doria

Chicken and Mushroom Doria

Doria is a Japanese casserole dish made with rice, creamy white sauce, and cheese. It’s a popular Western-influenced dish (Yoshoku) often served at Kissaten styled coffee shops in Japan. In this recipe, instead of serving in individual gratin dishes, doria is made in a deep pie dish that is ideal for family-style serving. After sauteing the chicken, mushrooms, and onion, we use the same frying-pan to make it simple (and less pots to clean!) Ketchup flavored rice goes really well with the creamy white sauce, but if you would like to skip adding the ketchup, that is totally fine, too. Doria is a hearty, warm, and comforting dish that is perfect for a winter dinner. Enjoy!

Miso Soup with Pork and Mushrooms

Miso Soup with Pork and Mushrooms

Today’s miso soup features pork and white button mushrooms. Use ordinary white mushrooms that can be found at any local store. While they don’t have as strong a flavor as shiitake mushrooms, not everyone always wants distinct mushroom flavors in their miso soup. White button mushrooms have just enough umami flavor for everyday soup. Pork adds more savory flavor, but you can substitute with tofu or other vegetables if you prefer a milder taste. Dashi is omitted here because there are rich flavors from the pork and mushrooms. It’s a very easy but satisfying miso soup. Hope you give it a try!

Miso Soup with Melting Cheese

Miso Soup with Melting Cheese

Today’s miso soup features mushrooms, spinach, and melting cheese. Miso and cheese are surprisingly good together since both are fermented foods. The umami flavors from the ingredients enhance each other, allowing you to achieve a rich and deep taste with little effort. Mushrooms and spinach add even more flavor and nutrition. This creamy miso soup is perfect with toast in the morning or sandwiches for lunch. It’s super quick to make and delicious! I hope you give it a try.

Mapo Tofu with Spinach and Mushroom is a healthy one-dish meal. Mapo Tofu (麻婆豆腐, more commonly known as Mabo Tofu in Japan) is originally from China, but it’s been well adapted in Japan. This is a variation of our home cooked Mabo Tofu with added spinach and mushroom. You can serve it over rice, and it becomes an easy and nutritious meal by itself. This is a perfect dinner to serve on a busy weekday.

Stir-Fry Beef with Asparagus and Mushroom Recipe

stir-fry beef with asparagus and mushroom

Stir-fry meat and vegetable is the best way to use up leftover ingredients from the fridge. It doesn’t need exact measurements of ingredients and seasonings. Add whatever on hand and stir-fry together, and that will always work. For example, if you don’t have Asparagus, use broccoli or brown onion. One of the seasonings used for the dish was oyster sauce. It has touch of sweetness already, but you could add some honey or sugar if you like. Mix and match, and enjoy!
