Tamago Sando (Japanese Egg Sandwich): Inspired by Wind Breaker (gluten free)

Inspired by Wind Breaker, I’m making the fluffy tamago sando that Sakura has on his first day at Furin High school. Tamago sando are really easy to make and super tasty. They are also a konbini favourite for many people and can be found in convenience stores across Japan. Perfectly boiled eggs + kewpie mayo + sugar + salt served with lettuce on some fluffy bread = equals a classic and delicious sando that you are sure to love!

Miso Pork Onigiri for Zoro: Inspired by One Piece (gluten free)

Inspired by Roronoa Zoro, my favourite directionally challenged swordsman! I am making a miso and soy pork filled onigiri that I believe Sanji would have absolutely made for him. Ongiri are simple, versatile, and delicious! This pork filling is bursting with umami from the miso paste, soy sauce, mirin, and garlic. Fresh fluffy rice filled with the delicious pork filling and wrapped in nori is just tooo good! You absolutely have to make it for yourselves. I’m sure that if Sanji made these for Zoro, he wouldn’t leave over a single grain of rice, and neither will you!

Shoyu ramen is very quick to make and always delicious, so with only a handful of ingredients and a few minutes, you have got to try it! Shoyu tare + ramen noodles + fresh green onions + a perfect egg + HAAAAMMM!!! = Ponyo’s perfect bowl of ramen! I know you’re going to love it, so you have to try it for yourself.

Howl’s Breakfast: Inspired by Howl’s Moving Castle (gluten free)

Inspired by Howl’s Moving Castle, I’m making one of the most iconic breakfasts in film. Howl’s breakfast spread for Markl and Sophie. This is one of my favourite films of all time and I am so excited to finally share this creation with you. Crispy bacon (don’t let Calcifer burn it), runny eggs, fresh bread, a hunk of cheese, and a freshly steeped pot of tea. If you want to be truly authentic then you have to use a spoon to eat your eggs, and drink your tea out of a bowl. Just saying!

This may be the prettiest sandwich I’ve ever seen! While in Japan, you can get some amazing street food and this Tokyo spot should be on your list!

Tengen Uzui’s Crystal Candy (Kohakutou): Inspired Demon Slayer (gluten free)

Inspired by Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba Entertainment District Arc, I’m making Tengen Uzui’s Crystal Candy. Tengen is a really fun and awesome character and I wanted to make a special treat for him. Since he is so “Flashy” and is literally dripping in crystals, I thought that crystal candies or Kohakutou would be perfect! Kohakutou is a Japanese candy made from only a few ingredients. Agar agar, sugar, water, and the flavouring of your choice. The crystal candies are easy to put together and result in a really yummy crispy shelled candy with a perfect gummy center. You have got to try them!

A simple recipe with a meringue base, topped with whipped cream, fresh strawberries, a generous drizzle of jam, and some powdered sugar. I swear you’ll feel like you’re at an adorable café in Tokyo while enjoying these at home!

Hisoka’s Bungee Gum (Strawberry) Mochi: Inspired by Hunter x Hunter (gluten free)

Inspired by Hunter x Hunter, I’m making Hisoka’s Bungee Gum (Strawberry) Mochi. ⁠⁠I love Hunter x Hunter, it’s definitely one of my favourite anime of all time and Hisoka is really awesome! I thought that stretchy fresh mochi would be a great fit for Hisoka. A light fluffy whipped cream filling, flavoured by fresh homemade strawberry jam, wrapped in soft mochi = absolute yumminess! I adore fresh mochi and could (I do) eat it all year round, but between the change in weather and strawberry season, this is a perfect treat for right now!
