I’ve shared this before, and I’ll likely share it again. For several years (with occasional breaks), this has been my breakfast nearly every single morning. It’s very adaptable! Sometimes I’ll sauté red onions in the olive oil before adding the spinach. Sometimes I’ll add beans. If we’re particularly hungry or know it’ll be a while before we eat again, I’ll add extra eggs. And if I happen to have leftover cooked bacon from sushi making or a previous dish, then I’ll crumble it and add it in as well. Son skips the tortilla, cheese, and fried onions, and just eats his in a bowl topped with torti ..read more

I’ve always loved seeing the cool layer cakes that all the amazing bakers across the internet make. On instagram and tiktok and food blogs, it’s my favorite thing to see some cool cake design, and imagine how that cake might taste. But I’ve never made one myself. I was always too intimidated by the idea – plus, we’re not huge dessert people here, and only have a few family members in the area (who will only take a slice or two each?!) so cake baking is definitely not a long-term hobby I can support around here. I need to make more friends. Off-handedly, I mentioned a few months ago that I ha ..read more

@sushidaytv my life is a comedy of errors, but at least this crisp is REALLY good ? #SelfCareTikTok #handmade #tutorials #wellness #vegan #foodie #dessert ? Monkeys Spinning Monkeys – Kevin MacLeod If the above video doesn’t load for you, click here to see it on TikTok! I am a clumsy human being. I am VERY injury-prone. Which, oddly enough, does NOT work great with trying to be a dancer. The first time I ever sprained my ankle, I was at a park with my girl scout troop. I don’t remember why we were there, but we were getting ready to leave, and all of us kids were running up and down the hill ..read more

Somehow, throughout all my years as a sushi blogger… I’ve never tried a sushi bake? THAT CHANGES TODAY. TBH it never sounded super appetizing to me BUT I’m always down for giving things a chance and I had a feeling it was going to be tastier than it looked (to me)! I was right. It’s SUPER easy to make (way easier than sushi), totally appropriate for a weeknight meal (as long as you set that rice to be ready ahead of time), and very tasty! This has all the creamy, sushi goodness of every hot American-style sushi roll you’ve ever had… it reminds me a lot of sushi dynamite or deep-fried califor ..read more

@sushidaytv turning ramen eggs into deviled eggs? A GENIUS IDEA IF I DO SAY SO MYSELF ? #BestSeatInTheHouse #foodie #cookingtiktok #foodOnTikTok #ramen ? Taste It – Ikson If the above video doesn’t load for you, click here to see it on TikTok! I’m half-Japanese. I grew up eating a ton of Top Ramen and Cup Noodles, but I never had real ramen until I was an adult. It was on our first big trip together. I had just graduated from college, and Son and I had been together for a little over three years by then. And we decided, since I finally had time to travel, that we wanted to go to Hawaii. In r ..read more

This is my (extremely) last-minute submission to The Practical Escapist’s #GhibliMay event: Soot Sprite Mochi! Plain daifuku mochi, filled with a black sesame cream cheese filling, and then rolled in ground black sesame seeds to look like soot sprites. I may be baised, but I think they ended up super cute. Despite my hesitations (I haven’t made much mochi, and it’s always turned out a little questionable), I think these turned out wonderfully! The mochi was perfectly soft, the ground black sesame on the outside added a tasty nuttiness, and the tanginess of the cream cheese filling was unusua ..read more

Rice, rice, baby! I have a thing for using okonomiyaki flavors in random places. I’ve done it in maki sushi, inari sushi, deviled eggs… you just can never go wrong! I grew up eating bacon fried rice for special occasions – it’s still a New Year’s morning tradition in my family. Add in a ton of cabbage, eggs, and rice, and top it with allllll the delicious okonomiyaki toppings, and you’ve got some excellent fried rice! Okonomiyaki Fried Rice Ingredients 1 lb bacon, diced 1 head cabbage (red or green is fine), thinly sliced 4 cups day-old short-grain rice, refrigerated overnight 1/2 cup dashi ..read more

@sushidaytv I miss him a whole bunch, he would have LOVED this apple crumble ? #foodOnTikTok #foodie #foodTikTok #dessert ? Pieces (Solo Piano Version) – Danilo Stankovic If the above video doesn’t load for you, click here to see it on TikTok! I’ve always found myself to be really lucky that none of the important men in my life have ever been particularly weirded out by anything to do with that time of the month. I was in high school, freshman year, when puberty hit. And it hit hard. I was in math class, and started to feel really unwell. I took out my retainer, put it in its case, and then ..read more

@sushidaytv Answer to @hxnnie_hae (half) birthday shenanigans! ? #foodOnTikTok #WorthTheWait #ZitHappens #foodie #birthday #chocolate ? Pieces (Solo Piano Version) – Danilo Stankovic If the above video doesn’t load for you, click here to see it on TikTok! Someone on TikTok recently asked, “When is your birthday and what’s your favorite memory of one of your birthdays?”” I was never allowed to have the kind of birthday party my friends had, growing up. My parents never let me have a sleepover, I never had a jump house, never played laser tag, never went to Chuck-E-Cheese… But none of that mat ..read more
