Oatmeal Omurice (Recipe) | Japanese Cooking Video

Omurice is a very popular home cooked meal in Japan. It is a chicken fried rice wrapped with a thin sheet of crepe-like fried egg. In this recipe I substituted rice with oatmeal. The result is very satisfying. Enjoy!

The oatmeal I picked at the grocery store was "Multi Oatmeal". Which can be used for both hot and cold oatmeal. Please make sure what kind of oatmeal you have, and the way you turn it into rice substitute.

TAKOYAKI Party (Octopus Balls) | Japanese Cooking Video Recipe

How you make the batter is the key. My mom uses Takoyaki flour and tasty Dashi broth, then makes the batter bit loose and less salty. In this way we can eat Takoyaki forever with No Sauce 😂👍

Serving Takoyaki with Dashi broth is our typical family style. Sometimes we put sauce then pour over the Dashi but this time, no one used the sauce because the batter was a success. Making the batter from scratch is not easy for the beginners, so I recommend using Takoyaki flour for No Sauce like this one 😉 https://amzn.to/3nKsbDG

Takoyaki is a popular Japanese ball-shaped snack made of batter, diced octopus, tenkasu (tempura scraps), beni shoga (red pickled ginger), and aonegi (green onion), topped with okonomiyaki sauce, mayonnaise, aonori (green laver), and katsuobushi (bonito flakes). Slightly crispy on the outside and creamy inside.

Recreated Panda Bento at Ueno Zoo 🐼💕 | Japanese Cooking Video Recipe

We had Panda Bento at Ueno Zoo in Tokyo. It was very cute and looked very easy to make, so we tried to recreate it at home 🐼 If you cannot get the bamboo skin wrapping sheet, you can of course put it in a Bento box. I did so, too for kids' school lunch 😉

Bamboo Skin Wrapping Sheet Takekawa 竹の皮（大）15cm60cm 6inch23inch

To use, soak the Bamboo Sheet 2~3 hours in advance to make it soft. Rinse and wipe off any extra water before you use. Peel off 5mm-wide bamboo string to tie up the wrapped Bento.

At Ueno Zoo, the flavored rice was sticky Mochi rice (Okowa) and it was steamed in a steamer until they serve. We found the rice getting pretty hard and chewy, as they keep it like this for hours, so my kids could not complete it. This is why I made this video using regular rice.

Panda Bento Lunch Box

20 NO OVEN Dessert Recipes and more!!! | Japanese Cooking Video

No-Bake desserts to satisfy your sweet tooth without using an oven. Here are 20 recipe ideas but there are more and most Japanese Wagashi (sweets) are made without oven, if you know 😉

There are so many requests for NO OVEN sweet treat recipe ideas, so I made this playlist for you! Check it out💖

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJdVRCODQ4Nntp5nwlM0-qYFgxEdqKxk3

FYI: In Japan, many people own Combination Microwave Oven. I use Convection Grill Microwave: it can grill, steam, bake like a convection oven, and function as a regular microwave. Back in 2005 I used National (now Panasonic) Bistro NE-SS30A for 7 years. Now since 2012 I use Panasonic Bistro NE-R3500 for 8 years. My sister still uses the former one! They are pretty long lasting :)

Most Japanese sweets don't require an oven maybe because it was not common to have an oven at home in old days?!
