Fresh, Easy to make, Good for party and gathering with friends.

I'm not sure if you can get fukinoto (a.k.a. butterbur sprouts) outside of Japan/Asia, but if you do find some, this is a classic Japanese recipe for fukinoto that's easy to make. In Japan, it's usually eaten with steamed rice or rice balls (onigiri).Fukinoto is a wild plant that pops up in the spring in the mountains and fields and people go out and pick them for cooking. Another popular way to cook this plant is tempura!

#mysterybox1#potato /post -4This is a famous street food of Mumbai and cooked in Maharashtrian style.The taste varies from vendor to vendor with the addition of different spices.In Maharashtra potato means batata and fried fritters means vada.This is a lip smacking snack and mostly served with a green chutney or hot and sweet tomato ketchup.In South it is called Potato Bonda.These are also enjoyed as stuffing for buns or bread rolls (vada pao).

This is my modified version of a green enchilada recipe a friend once gave me. It was amazing before, which is why I asked her for the recipe lol, but as I've modified it with each making I've found I really like creating a spice broth for the chicken, and taking the time for that extra simmering, in order to really build and infuse the flavors.

We are big on raw fish Chez Robinson. While I generally prefer to have sushi out so we can enjoy a wide variety of fish, sometimes a quick and easy poke bowl at home satisfies the sushi craving without breaking the bank.Poke (POHkeh) is a Hawaiian dish of seasoned raw fish and other ingredients, and the possibilities are endless. In our house, we'll eat all kinds of poke, but salmon is probably our favorite fish for the application.I love this combination of rich, raw salmon with the savory crunch of the onion, the refreshing crunch of the cucumber, and the yummydelicious spicy seasoning in which it's tossed.Info about buying sushi/sashimi fish on my blog:http://chezshinae.blogspot.com/2014/04/spicy-salmon-poke-with-crunchy-cucumber.html

This is one of me and my Mom favorite, if you want more spicy you can add it with Thai chili or chili bird eye. You can taste the cooked bitterness of green chili and the sourness of green tomato with smell of a fresh and fragrant hot basil leaves. You can eat this also with fresh green bean or carrot and touch it into the paste. Let me know if you try it. Good luck !!

This is one of my favorite side dishes, and is so easy with not many ingredients. Bacon and ranch anything and iam all for it lol! I’ve made this many times just now getting around to getting the recipe on here. This goes good with anything really.

This is my favorite way of preparing chicken for my kids' bento. They are easy, versatile (you can change the herbs of your preference), and very tasty.

Spicy Potatoes a favorite that can be enjoyed with Dosa, Roti, Paratha or Rice.

I had some leftover boiled potatoes from when I made Raclette.Using boiled potatoes will decrease the cooking time.Wash the skins well. Once the water begins to boil, add plenty of salt and boil the potatoes.I used leftover boiled potatoes this time.If you like a crispier texture, use more oil. I used a mixture of herbs made for country potatoes, but if you don't have any, you can combine garlic powder, salt, pepper, and rosemary. Recipe by Brandy

The directions are pretty interesting, and is something that's definitely not common in Japan.It might be difficult to imagine what these taste like...the middle has cake and cream cheese for a really moist, sticky, delicious taste.I gave a lot of these to my 82-year old grandfather for Valentines Day, and I was surprised to find he ate them all, lol.
