Breakfasts of Champions
- Matcha Latte Oat Bran
- A breakfast of champions, if not lacking in protein. One of the few ways I eat my oatmeal sweet instead of savory.
- Gyeran Bap
- A breakfast of champions. I prepare savory oatmeal in a similar way, just without the eggs.
Other Meals
- Ozoni
- A soup containing vegetables and mochi. Traditionally the first meal one eats on New Year's Day.
Side Dishes
- Kabocha Nimono
- Simmered kabocha pumpkin. Simple and sweet.
Desserts
- Blueberry Cream Cheese Pie
- Blueberry and cream cheese fillings over a shortbread crust. While popular at gatherings, I do not particularly enjoy this pie.
- Butter Mochi
- A custardy family secret revealed. Revel in the forbidden knowledge.
- Pumpkin Crunch
- A Tanaka family recipe. The perfect end to an autumnal dinner.
Offerings
- Fried Pumpkin Seeds
- Pumpkin seeds, lightly fried. An offering favored by Syrian hamsters.
Miscellaneous
- Ants on a Log
- A simple snack for after school or a long day of negotiations. Neither ants nor logs are actually involved.
- Blender Mochi
- Mochi made with the aid of a blender. Tastes nearly as good as it would freshly pounded, with next to none of the work.
- Sushi Rice
- A recipe adapted from one for barazushi. This rice is good enough to eat with other kinds of sushi or even by itself.
