YOU Can Cook Japanese Food at Home!

You can cook Japanese Food at Home!!
Do you love Japanese food? Sushi, okonomiyaki, ramen, tsukiyaki, tamagoyaki, onigiri, gyoza, curry rice, karagi... It's SO delicious, but depending on where you live, it can be hard to find a good authentic Japanese restaurant near you! But you're in luck!! You can make most of it at home, pretty easily, and without much skill!!
My Japanese husband (not a chef in any way shape or form) has recently started a series on our YouTube channel where he uses kits and mixes found at local Asian markets (or on Amazon - some affiliate links are included below) to make our favorite Japanese Dishes at home! He tries to get our kids involved, which always adds a bit of hilarity!! Now, my husband does not know his way around the kitchen, neither of us are chefs, we don't do a lot of cooking. So... you can trust these videos are suitable and inspiring for beginners! Have no fear, just watch, enjoy, and try yourself!! 

Bonus: These videos are great if you're trying to LEARN JAPANESE (or if you're Japanese and trying to learn English, like my husband)! We hope you'll have fun picking up some useful words and phrases!
Below are the "Learning Japanese while Learning to Cook Japanese Food" videos he's done so far! Comment below with what Japanese foods (or activities, such as origami) you'd like to see him and our kids do next!!

Buy the okonomiyaki set, including the flower, sauce, kewpie mayo, bonito flakes, and dried seaweed on Amazon (affiliate link)

You can find some Japanese curry mixes on Amazon here (affiliate link).


Some of the products he used (affiliate links):
  • Sushi Rice
  • Dried Seaweed
  • ​Kewpie Mayo
  • Furikake

This is such a fun and inspiring post! It's great to see that even without culinary expertise, you and your husband can still make delicious Japanese dishes at home. The idea of using kits and mixes from local Asian markets or Amazon is a perfect solution for beginners. I love that your husband is getting the kids involved, too — it sounds like a lot of laughs and learning in the process!

The bonus of picking up some Japanese words while cooking is such a cool idea, especially for anyone trying to learn the language. I can’t wait to check out the videos and try making some dishes myself. Looking forward to seeing more cooking adventures and learning along the way!

P.S. Okonomiyaki and gyoza sound like great options for future videos! 😊
