I really wish you would do a cookbook. Your instructions for creating sauces are so wonderful! And your recipes are so incredibly helpful since they include substitutes. 💝💝💝

[@JapaneseCookingChannel]

Thank you so much for saying that 😍😍😍 Your compliments give me the energy to work harder on my cooking!

[@Danielle-zq7kb]

For those who don’t eat pork, substituting D’Artagnon duck bacon works well.

[@JapaneseCookingChannel]

Thanks for your advice!

[@ericamciver1293]

My favorite is the pork wrapped eggplant and the orange chicken. Very tasty! Tonight I'm making Napolitan for dinner I think I spelled it correctly 😂. That dish is very tasty as well. Never knew I could use Ketchup to make spaghetti. I have learned a lot since watching your channel.

[@JapaneseCookingChannel]

Thank you so much for always watching and your comment! I am so glad you like the side dishes. And, making Napolitan sounds good!! That is my favorite spaghetti dish 😍 Enjoy it!!

[@scottyg9167]

I will absolutely try all these! They all sound and look fabulous, and your super-clear explanations make the preparation easy. The key of course will be finding the stuff! But the taste and health benefits make the search worth it.

[@JapaneseCookingChannel]

Thank you very much for saying that! I am super happy you liked these recipes. If you have questions when buying ingredients and seasonings, please let me know :) I can probably give you some substitute or some advice! Please enjoy making these side dishes 💛💛

I love how pretty the Okra and yam dish looks. I never knew that okras have little hairs! I like the Chikuzenni best. I found an Osechi cookbook and have made a few recipes from it. They are complicated and beautiful. Your carrot flowers are so pretty. 🌸 The sesame seed grinder you have is so cute! I didn't know those were real! I usually pound mine. Thank you for making this video! 💜 You are so amazing.

[@JapaneseCookingChannel]

Thank you so much for watching and your comment! Wow, you already knew Chikuzenni! Have you tried it? And I'm glad you liked the carrot. I'm getting better to make it these days hehe. I thought the okra and yam dish looks so pretty too 😍 It tastes good too, so hope you could try it some time 😊 About the sesame seed grinder, it's really helpful! If you are interested, maybe it's available here. Sesame Grinder amzn.to/3VtyMCD Thank you again, and have a wonderful day 💕

[@Lettersundlife]

Hello :) I made the sweet and sour dish sometimes. I really like it. It is the easiest to make in western countries like Germany because all the ingredients are easy to get here in local supermarkets. Stuff like Yam or Okura is not that easy to find (only in asian super stores in big cities for a comparable high price!). I will also try the eggplant and the punpkin for sure! Thank you for the recipies どうもありがとう :) Best from Germany

[@JapaneseCookingChannel]

Hello! Thank you so much for watching and your comment! I am so happy you liked these recipes. Hope you enjoy the eggplant and pumpkin recipe too :) Danke schön!!

[@valerieneal2747]

Such beautifully crafted recipes...I love Japanese cuisine because of the philosophy which is woven into the preparation of each dish. Every ingredient has a story and its place within the whole of the dish is integral to its completion. Aesthetically each meal is art for the eyes and spirit; it is nourishment on every level. Simplicity and understated gastronomic elegance in every dish lovingly prepared. Thank you for welcoming us into the world of Japanese cuisine. It is a world unlike any other.

Hello from the United States! I just came across your channel and I love it. Great recipes and instructions. I'm new to Japanese food and cooking. I have a few questions. 1. What type of cooking oil do you use? Vegetable, olive etc. 2. Do you use cooking sake or drinking sake? I'm looking forward to more videos. You're doing a great job.

[@JapaneseCookingChannel]

Thank you so much!! I am so happy you found my channel! Here are the answers :) 1. I use sesame oil (roasted and unroasted one) and olive oil. For stir-fry dish, I often use roasted sesame oil or olive oil. For deep-fry dish, I like to use white sesame oil (unroasted one). 2. I use drinking sake. But you can also use cooking sake. Either one is fine! Thanks for your question, and hope you enjoy delicious Japanese dishes at home :D

[@Preschool4yo-7yo]

Without discarding each side dish came to my heart so my head has just ached to memorize all. I pick in 💛⭐️chopped chicken pouring *Japan's tasty sauce*. I talked behind your back.^《 ^

Is that normal white sugar you are using, or is this a special sugar? Ist looks like a brown powdered sugar... I like your videos, they make me hungry 😀

There's substitute for Yam cake or we can skip it? If there's no Yam cake in our country?

Yes! You can skip it or you can substitute cucumber for the yam.

Do you have any subtitutes for mirin and sake?
