Inspired by My Hero Academia, I’m making Fuyumi’s Mapo Tofu recipe, as very politely demanded by everyone’s favourite little firecracker, Katsuki Bakugou! This Sichuan Mapo Tofu is so flavourful, delicious, and comforting. I can totally understand why he was so desperate to get his hands on the recipe. Served with some fresh rice, I am sure you will be hooked and this dish will become a staple in your house over these cold months ahead!
Inspired by Haikyu!! I’m making a Karasuno roll cake! This show is so amazing and I love it so much, I wanted to make a fun treat to capture the “Fly High” spirit of some of the best anime boys! I made a light and fluffy vanilla cake with a chocolate whipped cream filling, made black by using activated charcoal. Gotta get those Karasuno colors! The cake was really fun to design/decorate, it was easy to make, and was really tasty. I put Hinata Shoyo getting ready for a perfect spike on it, the Karasuno “Fly High”, and their iconic crows on this cake. Taking the extra time to pipe out the design was honestly not that hard, and made for a really unique and fun cake. Totally happy with how that came out!
Inspired by My Hero Academia, I’m making Shoto Todoroki’s favourite meal, Zaru Soba! This dish is super quick and simple to whip up, and it is also very light and refreshing. The cold soba noodles are chewy with a great earthy taste and they pair so well with the flavourful mentsuyu dipping sauce. The bursts of fresh wasabi really brings the whole dish together! This meal is an easy way to channel your favourite half hot half cold hero!
Inspired by Jujutsu Kaisen, I’m making Gojo Sensei’s Kikufuku! These mochi are stuffed with a delicious whipped cream and Zunda, a sweetened edamame paste. The dough is soft and chewy, the zunda has a sweet and earthy flavour, and the whipped cream came out perfectly! I used a bit of the vanilla bean paste that I brought back from Japan and it was a real game changer (so if you can get your hands on some, it’s totally worth it!). This Kikufuku transported me back to walking around Nara, Japan, freshly pounded mochi in hand. So I’d call this a win!
Inspired by Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid, I’m making Kanna’s Bento! The scene is so cute and I really wanted to recreate that kawaii feel! This boxed lunch is delicious, filling, super satisfying to look at and so I highly recommend making a bento like this as your meal prep for the week! Soft fresh onigiri with flavourful tamagoyaki, cozy simmered kabocha squash and adorable little dragon hotdogs, a perfect spread to help get you through the day!
Inspired by My Hero Academia, I’m making Izuku (Deku) Midorya’s favourite meal, Baked Katsudon! This is an ultimate comfort food and one of my go to meals when I want an easy, warm, and relaxing bowl of goodness! The katsu is crispy and juicy, and the sauce is so flavourful. All of it on top of a fresh bed of hot rice is just amazing! Tasty, warm, comforting, you’ll devour every last grain!
Matcha Mochi Cake with fresh Raspberries. This cake is chewy from the Mochiko (glutinous rice flour), earthy from the Matcha (Japanese green tea powder), tart from the fresh raspberries, and sweet from the white chocolate in the glaze. What’s there not to like?! This recipe is super easy to make, looks pretty, and whips up quickly!
Poke bowls are delicious and are super easy to make. They can be as glamorous as you want, or as basic as you want, but end up delicious either way! I’m sharing a list of my go to ingredients for throwing together a delicious and easy poke bowl, and I’m also sharing with you my recipe for the best spicy mayo!
Inspired by the new season of My Hero Academia, I’m making some extra crispy spicy Karaage in honour of our favourite explosive hero, Katsuki Bakugou! These bite-size pieces of Japanese fried chicken are so flavourful, and dangerously addictive. I promise you will be licking every last bit of sauce off your fingers. A perfect little treat!
Inspired by Sakura season in Japan, these gluten free Baked Strawberry Donuts are moist, chewy and bursting with fresh strawberry flavour. They are simple and kawaii, bringing the spring flavours and aesthetic of the beautiful cafes in Japan, to your home!
