Japanese

Japanese home cooking is simple, flavorful, and comforting — and you don’t need a ton of special equipment to make it at home. From crispy Air fryer Karaage to cozy Miso broiled cod, these are dishes you can cook any night of the week.

In Taiwan, Japanese food is everywhere — from bento shops to family dinners — so I grew up loving these flavors and learning how they’re made. Over the years, I’ve cooked them often in my own kitchen, so every recipe here tastes just like it should, with clear steps to make it work in yours.

Whether you’re new to making Japanese dishes or a home cook looking for quick, umami-packed meals, this is a great place to start. Browse around and find your next favorite.
