Like from my last back-to-basics about spices, they can be very powerful to elevate any dish. Sometimes, some spices work better than others and together they form a blend that can be very useful in your kitchen arsenal.
Miso glazed Japanese sweet potato
This has to be one of my new favorite party sides. It’s super easy, cheap, and pairs well with any kind of drink. Tea, beer, soju, sake and so much more. Japanese sweet potato can be found in most Asian supermarkets. It’s just mostly label wrong as “yams” (not sure why so don’t be confused)….
Slowly finding peace
It’s been a wild 6 years in the food industry. I’ve been burned, cut, and maybe blown myself up several times. I’ve sacrificed everything for this. My relationship, friends, and parts of my sanity. All my blood, sweat, and tears have been poured onto this place where I call this my passion.
