My son and I love your bento box recipes. They feel wholesome. We had your shumai today and I couldn’t believe that I made such a delicious shumai. 🥰 Keep it up! Arigato!
That circle ham is Canadian ham. In America, we have hickory or Apple smoked bacon or ham. As I watch some of the Japanese and South Korean videos , you don't smoke your pork belly, which we do in America. I am enjoying these videos and it's giving me something new to try😊
Your sweet potatoes are so pretty. The ones at the supermarket here are orange inside and out. They aren't ugly, but they aren't pretty like these ones. I love sweet potato fired and/or sweet potato casserole. The casserole is a sweet dish.
The sweet potatoes we get in the UK are orange, with brown skin. My favourite thing to do with them is make thick-cut chips (fries) seasoned simply with salt, pepper and smoked paprika, though the most common thing I do is mash them with herbs and butter as a side to a meat dish.
Thanks for your comment! Wow! You can make very tasty sweet potato dishes! I love chips, so I wanna make it with sweet potato too just like you do :D And, adding herbs for mashed sweet potato sounds good too. I should try that!
I am in the north central United States, and yes we have sweet potato! My favorite ways to eat them are like a regular baked potato with salt and lots of butter, or as a filling in ravioli.
Thank you for your comment!! Filling in ravioli! I've never thought about that, and that sounds so yummy :D We don't have custom to eat ravioli, so I don't really see it here in Japan. I wanna make homemade one someday. And, I will use sweet potato like you!
@@JapaneseCookingChannel I can give you estimates of the recipe, but I never measure. I cook by taste or feel; like I feel the amount is right until I taste it. lol
I like baked or mashed sweet potatoes with butter cinnamon brown sugar and salt. I can buy potato puffs which is like a crochet at my local store too. Really good right out of the oven.
The recipe I use, one pie for me one for a friend. Mississippi sweet potato pie Ingredients 2 cups sweet potatoes (mashed or pureed) 2 prepared 9-inch pie shells (unbaked; or, homemade pie shells) 4 ounces butter (softened) 2 cups granulated sugar 1 5-ounce can evaporated milk (1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons) 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 3 large eggs 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon How to Make Sweet Potato Pie Line 2 (9-inch) pie plates with the pie dough. Refrigerate until they are thoroughly chilled while you prepare the filling. If desired, partially bake the crusts and cool before filling. Preheat the oven to 350 F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, butter, sugar, and evaporated milk. Whisk until the mixture is well-blended. In another bowl, whisk the vanilla with the eggs and cinnamon until they are well-blended. Add the egg mixture to the sweet potato mixture and blend thoroughly. Pour the sweet potato filling into the prepared chilled pie shells. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the filling is firm and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack, add whipped cream, and serve.
OMG! Thank you so much for telling me your recipe! I appreciate all the details. I am not very good at making sweets, but I will try my best based on the recipe you gave me!
Thank you for the video! :D Everything looked so tasty! We also have sweetpotatoes here but just like UK more orange. Most of the time I cut them into bite sized pieces along with carrots, potato, parsnip and olives. Sprinkle some salt, pepper and rosemary along with some oliveoil. Or make mashed sweetpotato with cheese and philadelphia cheese and a little dash of cream. Or I put sweetpotato on pizza round thin slices, with onion, mozzarella or feta cheese, thin slices of garlic, olives and some kind of thin fancy italian salami my boyfriend regurarely buys. I am curious however if you know of or have white pepper in Japan? In Sweden we usually make meatballs out of meat from moose and season it with white pepper. (At least from the parts I am from, it is different everywhere) Then you have plain boiled potatoes, Brown sauce (direct translation) and there is no proper word for it in english but it is kind of a non sweet jam with lingon (berries). Most jam you see others do they filter away the peels? Husks? Of the berries but Swedes like to keep such things in, for texture I guess. And nutrients! Anyway this comment is getting a bit longwinded so I am going to wrap it up here. Have a nice day! :D
Thank you so much for your comment! Sounds like you have various delicious dishes that go well with sweet potato :D That's so nice to know wonderful Sweden dishes! We also have white pepper in Japan although I don't know if it's the same flavor of yours. My husband love to put it on ramen and fried rice. You guys make meatballs with moose meat! I wanna taste it once. The jam and other side dishes sounds also delicious. I don't think blueberry jam is peeled in Japan. I guess you guys have more variety of delicious jam :D Thank you for telling me so much about your country! Tack! Ha en trevlig dag!
@@JapaneseCookingChannel Hi, I just recalled that the Swedish blueberries are a bit different from let's say American blueberries so the correct translation for our berries would be Bilberries. There is a major difference between the two in size and taste so I felt like I had correct myself. :D There is also Cloudberry jam, Lingon jam and sometimes people make jam out of rowan-berry but it is very sour. And this is coming from me, who likes to eat lemon as it is. Last but not least I am rather curious because after some light internet searching it seems stinging nettles grows in Japan as well? Google translate said it is called Irakusa but I cannot vouch for any accuracy with google translate. xD Have you ever tasted tea made out of nettles or soup? I find mint tea with nettles to be very tasty. Anyway I got curious if more countries eat nettles and yet again I get really long winded and write very long comments. Thank you for replying and Ha en trevlig dag! ;)
Thank you so much for your reply! About the nettles, I've never heard of that. I think it's not common in Japan. In Japan, there are no various kinds of mint tea, and I think there are only those named mint tea. If I ever make it to Sweden, I would love to enjoy a variety of jams and mint tea. Thanks for letting me know. :D
Sake is Japanese wine made from rice. Mirin is sweet seasoning, and made from steamed sticky rice, koji rice, and brewed alcohol. If you don't have these, you can skip it or use white wine instead of sake, and use a little sugar instead of mirin :)
My favorite sweet potato is Korean sweet potatoes, they look similar to the Japanese ones with purple skin and yellowish flesh inside. I like to roast them and eat them with kewpie mayo, a bit of butter, and chili flakes. sweet, spicy, and good umami from the mayo.
Sweet potato pie is mine, but our sweet potatoes are all orange not purple and yellow like yours, I guess others call them yams, still hard to cut though 😅
@@JapaneseCookingChannel Here's my recipe for 1 Pre Heat oven to the equivalent of 350 degrees F 1 (1 pound) sweet potato, peel the skin ½ cup butter, softened 1c white sugar 1/2 c milk 2 large eggs 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp ground cloves 1 1/4 tsp vanilla extract 1 unbaked pie crust Dice sweet potato into chunks 1/2 inches in size and place in pot, cover with water. bring the pot to a rolling boil till the sweet potatoes break apart with a fork or chopsticks super easily. drain and let them rest for about 10 minutes If you have a stand mixer its best for this part but a hand mixer works well enough too. Remove cooked potatoes to a bowl and add the butter beat with a mixer until just combined Add cinnamon nutmeg cloves and sugar and mix for about a minute before adding the eggs and milk then beat until smooth, add it to the unbaked pie crust Place in pre heated oven and bake 55 minutes to 1 hr or until a knife inserted in the center pulls out clean Let the pie rest at room temperature until warm. Can be eaten warm or cold
Oh! Thanks for telling that! I've lived in the US, but never had sweet potato there... That sounds good, wanna try the really soft sweet potato someday :D
We have sweet potatoes here in the US but I don’t like them. I love all potatoes except for sweet potatoes and mashed potatoes unless the mashed potatoes have a bunch of garlic in them then I like them but that’s it

Sure!! Please make the sauce from the recipe, and just put your frozen meatballs:)

what can we use instead of pork if we dont eat pork
you can use chicken or beef!

½ cup butter, softened
1c white sugar
1/2 c milk
2 large eggs
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

1 unbaked pie crust
Dice sweet potato into chunks 1/2 inches in size and place in pot, cover with water. bring the pot to a rolling boil till the sweet potatoes break apart with a fork or chopsticks super easily. drain and let them rest for about 10 minutes
If you have a stand mixer its best for this part but a hand mixer works well enough too.
Remove cooked potatoes to a bowl and add the butter beat with a mixer until just combined
Add cinnamon nutmeg cloves and sugar and mix for about a minute before adding the eggs and milk then beat until smooth, add it to the unbaked pie crust
Place in pre heated oven and bake 55 minutes to 1 hr or until a knife inserted in the center pulls out clean
Let the pie rest at room temperature until warm.
Can be eaten warm or cold
Thank you so much! I will try that sometime 😆
American sweet potatoes are less sweet than the ones in Japan. They're also much softer when cooked, they are almost like dough when baked.
