Sonoko Sakai's La-yu (Spicy Chile Oil)

Pan-Seared Gyoza
Gyoza are plump, Japanese dumplings typically filled with a mixture of ground pork, cabbage, chives, ginger and garlic. They originated as a spin-off of Chinese jiaozi, but they differ in many ways, particularly in how they are wrapped: Gyoza have very thin wrappers sealed with signature pleats, while Chinese jiaozi have thick wrappers that vary in how they are sealed. Throughout Japan, you can find gyoza steamed, pan-fried and deep-fried, and in recent years, lattice-edged dumplings have become popular. Made by pouring a slurry of flour and water into the pan with the dumplings, the water evaporates and the batter creates a crisp, lacy net. This pan-fried version is adapted from “The Gaijin Cookbook: Japanese Recipes from a Chef, Father, Eater, and Lifelong Outsider,” a collection of Japanese recipes from the chef Ivan Orkin, an owner of two ramen shops in New York. (Instructions for creating a lattice are below the recipe.)

Umami Toast
This Japanese-inspired breakfast dish was born of necessity. I had some leftover miso butter and thought that the best way to use it would be to slather it on toast. I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I topped it with a sunny-side up egg and sprinkled furikake seasoning over it. It was an umami kick in the mouth! Now, I always have miso butter on hand so that I can enjoy this quick and easy breakfast at least once a week.
Omurice (Japanese Rice Omelet)
Omurice, a beloved staple of Japanese home cooking, is a linguistic and literal mash-up of omelet and rice. A plain omelet cloaks ketchup-flavored fried rice, often called “chicken rice” even when it's made with ham or bacon, or no meat at all. It belongs to the category of so-called Western food known as yoshoku. This one takes cues from omurice served at countless kissaten, Japanese diners, but it most closely resembles a recipe from the London architect Go Sugimoto, who grew up between Washington, D.C., and Tokyo. “It was the first thing I learned to cook, and now I make it for my son,” he said, confessing that his is fancier than his mom’s, with butter instead of oil or margarine, vegetables in the rice, and a splash of dashi to flavor the omelet.

sweet potato mochi
This sweet potato mochi recipe is a sweet treat and a great and healthy snack. If you're looking for a different dessert--you found it! Now go make it. Enjoy.
Sweet Mochi With Red Bean Filling
Nothing compares to the texture of fresh mochi, the sweet, delightfully chewy Japanese rice dough. And when you make it yourself (which takes about 10 minutes), you can really enjoy it fresh, at the peak of its textural pleasures. Chop up the cooled mochi and toss it in roasted soybean flour, and it's ready to go as a sweet snack or ice cream topping. Or, as in this recipe, put in some extra time and wrap the sticky dough around a simple red bean filling to make daifuku. The pastry chef Tomoko Kato uses shiratamako flour processed in Japan, but mochiko flour can be easier to find, and the results are similar.
Miso-Sesame Salmon (or Arctic charr, black cod, or mahi-mahi)
The following recipe is inspired by a few different miso-glazed mahi mahi recipes I found online, and all seem to be based on one by Chef Nobu Matsuhisa.
Black Sesame Porridge
Black Sesame Porridge is a yummy and nutritious food that is also very easy to digest. Regular sesame can be used instead of black so don't worry if you can't find black sesame seeds!

Japanese Chicken and Root Vegetable Stew
This vegetable-rich stew is based on a Japanese nimono, a simmered dish flavored with kombu, soy sauce and dried shiitake mushroom caps. Although the ingredients may take some searching (check Japanese or Asian markets, or online), the cooking itself is no harder than the usual chicken soup, and the results are just as comforting. You can substitute other root vegetables for the ones called for here. Just make sure to add the sturdier chunks first (taro, celery root, burdock, kohlrabi, turnip, beets) so they have enough time to cook before adding the quicker-cooking ones (turnips, sweet potatoes, winter squash). If you want to make this vegetarian, you can leave out the chicken. It works equally well. Adding cubes of tofu or pieces of fish or seafood during the last few minutes of cooking is also a nice way to go.
Temari Sushi Balls

Five-Ingredient Feel Good Soup
Really, there are six ingredients, but since basil is added as a garnish, I thought I could get away with that alliteration. Miso is definitely the star of this recipe. And why shouldn't it be? It’s a rich, low-sodium, vegan flavouring for soups, sauces, dressings and more, plus it’s got a ton of microbiotics that aid digestion as a result of the fermentation process. This soup is so easy on the stomach. I relied on it 100% to get me out of my post-holiday slump, and I'm sure it will work wonders for you as well.
