Thank you for your kind comment! H Mart seems like a very large store. Are you staying there for just 1-2 months for an internship or something similar? A new environment is always exciting, isn't it? What kinds of Asian food do you like? If you don’t mind, I’d love to hear about them!
I'm Australian, and teaching myself to cook Japanese food. Your channel is fantastic! Could you please do a video about the utensils and food products you buy, and where to get them in Australia please. 😁
Thank you so much for your kind message! I’ve been thinking about posting a shopping video, and I’m glad to hear you're looking forward to it. I’m so happy to receive a message from Australia!
I have been interested in Japanese food and recently have discovered I like tofu. I think I am going to more Japanese food. You made it look easy and not stressful.
Thank you for your lovely comment! Receiving comments like yours really motivates me to make more videos. I love tofu with sweet miso on top, tofu in hot pots, and tofu in miso soup.
Sure! Here is the Warabi Mochi recipe for you. I hope you like them! [Warabi Mochi] *** Ingredients *** 80g of Tapioca starch 40g of Sugar 400ml of Water Kinako(Roasted Soybean Powder) - as much as you like *** Directions *** 1. Mix Tapioca starch, sugar and water 2. Heat it on medium-low heat in the pan and stir constantly 3. Once it becomes transparent, place it in the container and let it cool 4. Chill in the refrigerator, then cut it and sprinkle with kinako 5. You can mix sugar and a pinch of salt with the kinako, or drizzle with molasses or other toppings of your choice
I see. Perhaps there isn’t much demand for it. If there’s no Asian grocery store near you, you might be able to purchase items online. What South African dishes would you recommend by the way? I’d love to hear about them if you don’t mind.
@@JapaneseCooking123 There are Asian stores and they are predominately Chinese. One is 500km from where I live, the best one is 1,600km. Here people think that Japanses cuisine starts with sushi (made by Chinese) and ends with sushi. As to our local cuisine, I have to think about this a bit. Our food or meal composition is completely different from Japanese meals. I do have it that Japanese meals are generally soup, meat course, rice, some sides with seldom something sweet at the end, perhaps some fruit. Most South African meals - I am refering to everyday meals NOT special occassions meals - are normally a starch (rice, bread or pap). Pap is the staple for the black South Africans, it is a porridge made from maize quite simmilar to the Italian polenta ONLY ours is white not yellow. Next is normally a stew. South Africans are carnivores so a lot of meat. The food itself is mainly from European and Far East (Malay, Idian, Sri Lankan) origin. Our food is not like the French have e.g. Coq au Vin where the recipe is quite set with very little room of individual expression - our food is open to interpretation by each and every person preparing it. I can recommend e.g. Bobotie and each and every recipe you will get from the internet will be different - even some godless souless vegan versions. South Africans are addicted to deserts and sweet stuff such as koeksisters, roly poly, milktart, etc. I can send you some recipes if that you may try if South African food tickles your fancy.
I see, living 500km away from the nearest Asian store must mean you live in a rather rural area. I love the countryside and have always admired the idea of living in such a place. It seems that authentic Japanese cuisine is quite rare in South Africa. I'll try to think of some Japanese dishes that don’t require special Japanese ingredients. Thank you for sharing so much about South African cuisine! I like polenta, so I think I’d enjoy pap as well. I hadn’t heard of bobotie before, but it sounds fascinating. As for Japanese sweets, many of them are made with red beans or rice flour. They are often considered healthier than Western desserts because they don’t use butter or oil. I looked up koeksisters, roly-poly, and milk tart on RUclips-they all look delicious, and I’d love to try them! What kinds of jam are used for roly-poly? Can tart jams, like those with a stronger acidity, be used? If it’s not too much trouble, I’d be delighted if you could share your recommended recipe. Learning about different parts of the world through food is such an enjoyable experience!
That's a good idea. My husband ate too much delicious food during Christmas, so he says he wants to continue his diet. It's important to approach dieting in a healthy way over the long term.
Love your channel and the series but I think you mixed up either calories or portion size of the brownies. Your average brownies have around 450-500 kcal per 100g, so it's unlikely that 90g would have 700kcal. Either way, great content!
Just found your channel! I'm from Hawaii, now on the Mainland, so I really appreciate getting back into Japanese food. I LOVE okonomiyaki!
Thank you for your comment. Do you like Okonomiyaki? Me too! I'm glad to know that there are people watching my videos even from far away.
I’m very glad I found your channel!
I’m eating a lot more Asian food because I’m in Carrollton Texas for 1-2 months and can take a bus to a wonderful H-Mart
Thank you for your kind comment!

Great job. You did it. I want to see more updates. Please do part 4
Thank you for saying that! If many people are interested, I should make part 4, shouldn't I?
Trying to lose weight and watch my glucose levels. Planning to try the okonomiyaki and warabimochi dishes soon. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching my video! When you make your Okonomiyaki and Warabimochi, please let me know how it turns out.
わらび餅美味しそう～。きな粉が手作りできるなんて知らなかった！
ダイエット大成功中だね👍
売ってるわらび餅より甘さ控えめにできるから、ダイエットする人におすすめ！きな粉、海外では手に入りにくいから手作りしたんだけど、豆の香りが良いのと自然ばな甘さが感じられて市販の物より美味しかったよ！ダイエット大成功！！クリスマスでリバウンドしないことを祈る！！

Would love to do this Diet BUT Japanese ingredients is just impossible to come by in my country.
Ah, that’s a shame. If you don’t mind, may I ask which country you live in?

I think you should extend the trial to 90 days! See how it goes!

This is an interesting channel, but the mic is low when you're not doing voiceover.
Thank you for your comment. You're right, I should have used a microphone properly. I appreciate you pointing that out!

Thank you for pointing that out. I must have gotten mixed up somehow. I'll add the info in the description. Thanks again!
