Video: Everything I Ate In South Korea and Japan in 1 Minute 28 Seconds
I just got back from a trip through South Korea and Japan with my wife and my mother. If I'd had my way, it would have been entirely food-centric. As it was, it was only 1/3rd food-centric, which still resulted in over 400 photographs of dishes we ate during our two week stay. I'll be going into more detail about everything in the coming weeks, but for now, here's a quick video featuring every single thing I stuck in my mouth (and a few things I didn't) while we were there.Photo of the Day: Cute Japanese Cat Doughnuts
Finally, I can stop my search for the cutest doughnuts in the world. Check out these cat-shaped doughnuts (with almonds-for-ears) from doughnut chain store Floresta in Kawasaki, Japan. If cats aren't your thing, there are also bears, bunnies, pigs, frogs, and more. Follow @floresta_mama on Twitter to keep up to date on the latest cute animal doughnut creations.Support Japan Relief Efforts with the Launch of 'KeepRecipes For Recovery'
This is a good cause and it involves Japanese food. Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto, How to Cook Everything author Mark Bittman, our very own Kenji, and some other good food folks have teamed up with KeepRecipes.com founder Phil Michaelson to provide Japanese recipes to help the American Red Cross with their relief efforts in Japan. To support the cause, go to donate.keeprecipes.com and click on the fundraiser link. Donors will immediately get a digital cookbook with 21 Japan-inspired recipes for any contribution of $10 or more.Video: Crab Vending Machine in China
In Nanjing, China, you can buy Shanghai hairy crabs without human interaction. Behold: the crab vending machine. The crabs are kept in a state of hibernation by the machine's interior 5°C (41°F) temperature and sell for 120 to 600 yen ($1.50 to $7.40) depending on size.Video: Japanese Street Vendor Making Takoyaki
Watch as this takoyaki vendor in Osaka turns batter into octopus-studded dough balls, a popular Japanese street food, using a quick hand and two skewers.Culinary Ambassadors: Breakfast in Japan
Any traveler who visited Japan may have encountered a "traditional" Japanese breakfast at a hotel. It may have a piece of grilled fish, miso soup, rice, onsen tamago, nori, and Japanese pickles. But an everyday breakfast is more like this: A fluffy, thick toast with butter, ham and eggs and a green salad.Culinary Ambassadors: Festival Food in Japan
What is a bread-snatching race? Not exactly a festival food, but I'm curious if other cultures have similar games, so I've submitted it to the Culinary Ambassadors series. While I am not a fast runner, I was somehow very good at this race as a kid. Give me food, I run faster. How it works: You run up to a bar that's dangling breads, bite the bread off the string, and finish running while still holding bread in your mouth.Condiments in Japan: So-su (Sauce)
When you just say "sauce" (pronounced so-su) in Japan, it usually means a thicker version of Worcestershire sauce. We recently discussed it here! It's an essential condiment in Japan. Without it, korokke (pictured) and tonkatsu will suffer. You can't make yakisoba and okonomiyaki. Some people even use it on sunny-side up egg or a bowl of rice.Video: Being A Fish In Japan: Tuna
Japanese fishmonger/rockstar "Captain" Tsurizao Morita started his fish-themed band Gyoko ("fishing port") to get people to eat more fish and learn to appreciate it. Besides singing about fish, part of the way he does this is by filleting a tuna's head on stage and describing how to cook it. Watch Morita in action, learn what makes tuna "rock," and get a look inside Tsukiji, the world's biggest fish market, in this segment from the series Being a Fish In Japan.Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
