Among all the egg dishes I love, this is one of the most frequented egg dishes I make home. It’s Dashi-Rich Fluffy Egg with Cheese, made in a cute mini donabe, Petite Donabe. Unlike chawanmushi (steamed egg custard), this dish is direct-heated in a donbe over flame. So, this is similar to Korean gyeran-jjim, which I also love so much. Seasoned and beaten egg is added to boiling dashi all at once, and mixed with cheese. It takes just a few minutes to make this dish and is always so comforting! The fluffy egg and the soothing flavor of dashi make the dish so special. The individual-size donabe can distribute the heat evenly without burning the bottom. I like to stir in some shredded Swiss or gruyere cheese to cook with the egg for the gooey finish, but you can make it without the cheese also.

Steamed Fava Bean Salad with Sansho
Fava beans are among my favorite spring ingredients, and I get so excited when I see them at a local farmers market. When they are in season, they are so flavorful that I like to prepare them in simple ways. Here is one of my quick and frequently-made fava bean recipes. I steam the shelled fava beans for a few minutes, peel them and toss them with extra virgin olive oil, grated Parmigiano Reggiano, and top with some Salt-Pickled Sansho Berries. The dish is amazing. If you don’t have sansho berries, you can simply finish with sansho powder (and adjust the seasoning by adding a little amount of sea salt).
Miso-Marinated Cream Cheese
Cream Cheese Miso-Zuke
Super easy to make with just a few ingredients, with just a little bit of patience, this dish makes a great snack/ appetizer to easily please your guests. All you need to do is to marinade a block of cream cheese in miso+mirin mixture for a few days or longer. This is also a perfect dish to keep stock in your fridge, so you can just slice and serve when you want to quickly entertain your guest or when you need one more little dish. You can enjoy the slices with a little wasabi on the side to enjoy with your sake. Or, this can make wonderful canapés to serve on crackers at a party. And, that’s what we did at a event at TOIRO the other day…it was a big hit!
Shio-Koji Mascarpone Dipping Sauce
This simple combination of Liquid Shio-Koji and mascarpone cheese has the wonderful subtle sweet umami flavor from the shio-koji and rich creamy touch of the mascarpone. The sauce is great with Roasted Sweet Potato or as a topping for roasted vegetables such as beets and carrots.
