Loco moco is as comforting as comfort food gets. It’s a seasoned juicy ground beef patty on top of rice, covered in warm gravy, and finished with a crispy fried egg. I used to eat ground beef patties with rice but this dish takes it to a whole other level. The best part is how […]

Japanese milk bread is unlike any other bread out there. Extremely soft, fluffy and flakey texture that is a product of the tangzhong method. The first time I tried making it I failed terribly, but after a few tweaks to the recipe it is now perfect. I will be going through two ways to make […]

Crispy Fish Tacos

In my opinion, crispy fish tacos are one of the best options at any tacos spot. They’re usually the most difficult to mess up. All you need are fish, flour, seasonings, and beer or carbonated water.
