Japanese Chicken Curry

Curry is not an original cuisine from Japan. It was introduced to Japan during the Meiji era (1868–1912) by the British. It has become a staple meal of the Japanese. It’s actually more like a hearty stew than a typical curry. The curry is thickened with roux. You can buy Japanese curry blocks, which makes it easier to make, but they contain excessive amounts of fat and MSG. They also sell it without MSG, but it’s way better to make it from scratch. This Japanese Chicken Curry is a true comfort food served over rice.

Perfectly Crispy Potatoes

This recipe for Perfectly Crispy Potatoes uses baking soda, which provides an alkaline environment so the exterior of the potatoes soften quicker. I am always on a quest to find new potato recipes. Getting them crispy without a commercial deep fryer at home is the big challenge. The result is a more crisp crust.

Potatoes à la Ketchup

This recipe for Potatoes à la Ketchup seems sort of bizarre. You basically put the potatoes in foil packets for the grill and add ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice. It's actually quite good and a bit unusual which always appeals to me. You should try it the next time you fire up your grill.

Crispy Salt-and-Vinegar Potatoes

My family loves anything salt & vinegar flavored. These Crispy Salt-and-Vinegar Potatoes are first boiled in vinegar to infuse the flavor into the potato. Then they are drained, dried and sautéed in a pan to achieve crispiness and doused with more vinegar. What's wrong with that? Nothing.

Crispy Caramelized Sweet Potatoes

These Crispy Caramelized Sweet Potatoes use a mandoline. By thinly slicing the potatoes and standing them upright, the edges become crispy. There is also a brown sugar-ginger glaze which makes them caramelized in the oven.
