Sake Recipes

Pricking the chilies releases some of the oils but keeps this sake from getting too spicy. You're not looking for a searing drink, just a good kick.

Famed Hawaiian chef Alan Wong is renowned for his intriguing twists on traditional recipes. He serves this simple but uniquely flavored guacamole with taro chips. If you can't find them, substitute shrimp chips or blue or yellow tortilla chips for a great beginning to an informal Asian-inspired dinner. If available, use Hass avocados, which have a fuller flavor than other types.

This popular sauce is delicious served atop an array of oriental style "stir-fry" vegetables or as a dip for raw vegetables.

This appetizer is so crunchy and delectable that guests confess they would like to consume the whole tray.

Kaffir lime leaves are a thai staple and can be found in markets carrying Southeast Asian produce.

Although this is great with fresh mint, try it with different herbs such as pineapple sage, a blossoming herb that's beautiful to grow at home.

If using rolled oats try and buy steel cut oats as they contain more of the oat fibre.

Good reviews on this one.

Sukiyaki is really versatile; Tokyo-style sukiyaki is so different from that I wrote. As for what meat to use other than beef, I personally recommend chicken. Another Osaka-sukiyaki uses not meat but fish as the main ingredient. Last but not at all least, NEVER overcook.

So Easy! And believe me, it's a feast to your eyes and taste-buds. Thankx.

Note: To extract juice from ginger, grate a 1/4 pound piece of gresh gingerroot in cheesecloth. Tie grated gingerroot in cheesecloth or place in paper coffee filter and squeeze.
