Japanese sweet potato can be found in most Asian supermarkets. Its skin is red and have a white flesh inside. This is not the same as the other Japanese sweet potato you might have heard about with the purple flesh inside that’s popular in Okinawa and Hawaii. Satsumaimo are great for tempura and even more delicious simply just grilled. 
I was afraid I won’t be able to complete September’s Daring Bakers Challenge, but so glad I drag my jet lag body out of bed this late afternoon and got to work. This month’s challenge was Lavash Crackers with Vegan Toppings. For the very first time the challenge was hosted by alternative Daring Bakers Natalie from Gluten A Go Go and co-hosted by Shel from Musings From the Fishbowl. Thank you ladies for the recipe! We were free to add our twist with different spices. I decided to put an Asian spin on mines and added soy sauce flavoring and a sprinkling of black sesame seed and dried nori. 
The soup and sandwich combo. What is there not to love about it. It’s the perfect lunch, the perfect breakfast, and the perfect dinner. Add a small side salad and it gets even better. After a long flight, I needed something to help me forget about crappy economy class meals and rip of airport food. Although I did had a pretty good experience with French Macrons at Narita International Airport’s Starbucks in Japan, but that’s for another post. I need some home cooking, but jet lagged and a knife is not a good idea. 
Konnichiwa and hello from Japan! After 3 flights and 1 bus ride, I am in Himeji. Located in the Hyogo prefecture and in the Kansai region of Japan, Himeji is best known for its castle, the Himeji Castle or also known as the White Heron Castle. I’ll be staying here for a few days and then it’s off to Osaka and Kobe, which are both near by, follow by Tokyo and Okinawa. Although my stay in Japan this time will be brief, about 2.5wks, compare to my 2.5months 3yrs ago, I can’t wait to visit all the places I’ve been before and the new ones I’ve yet to seen. Now on to the food! |
