Description

Opening with Japan's top ten favourite comfort foods-from Deep Fried Crunchy Chicken to Japanese-Style Meat and Potato Hotpot-this cookbook is packed with authentic versions of the dishes that Japanese people eat every day.

In this book you'll find all the classics you've enjoyed at restaurants and on visits to Japan-from sushi and tempura to ramen, steak and donburi rice bowls. You will also discover dishes that are immensely popular in Japan, but aren't commonly found on the menu in Japanese restaurants in the West. The 80 easy recipes in this book are aimed at beginners and have clear step-by-step photos and instructions along with a full-colour photo of each dish.

They include:

• Braised Pork Belly
• Curry Flavoured Chicken Teriyaki
• Japanese Omelette
• Asparagus Beef Rolls
• Yellowtail Tuna with White Miso Butter
• Simmered Greens with Fried Tofu

Yoshida's detailed introduction provides essential information on basic Japanese ingredients, seasonings, implements and cooking techniques-including how to clean and prepare fresh fish, rinsing and cooking rice and draining tofu.
