About Japanese cooking
What defines Japanese cooking?
Japanese cooking prizes restraint and seasonality: dashi, the kombu-and-bonito stock, carries the umami so that seasoning can stay light, and technique — knife work, precise rice cookery, controlled frying — does the work that heavy sauces do elsewhere. The core seasonings are memorised in order as sa-shi-su-se-so: sugar, salt, vinegar, soy sauce and miso. Dishes are plated small and varied rather than piled, and the goal is to taste the ingredient rather than the cook. Our 4,354 Japanese recipes cover everything from quick weeknight meals to classic dishes worth learning end-to-end.
What are common Japanese pantry staples?
Short-grain rice, soy sauce, mirin, sake, rice vinegar, miso paste, kombu and bonito flakes for dashi, toasted sesame oil and seeds, panko and nori. Rice, soy, mirin and dashi cover the everyday repertoire; miso and rice vinegar open up soups and pickles.
