Hi everyone! I know it's been a while, but our new
Try the World Box arrived and we finally had time to eat some of its contents! This time, the country is Japan. Admittedly, it's a little less exotic for us because we are already familiar with many foods from Japan. Still, it's worth the purchase price.
I love the packaging of the boxes. It's like getting a present.
The playlist for this box was already up and running on Spotify. Nice mix of modern music and traditional melodies.
The first item, okonomiyaki flour! I've made it a few times with standard flour, but this was a real treat.
Steve and I buy these gummy candies regularly. Yummy!
Ginger paste. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this. I usually toss out the ginger when I have sushi.
Soba noodles. I'll probably go and purchase some cold dipping sauce for these.
Seasoned seaweed snack. This will go nicely on its own or with some rice.
These are soft caramels. I've never had these before.
Lastly, blueberry matcha tea. This dissolves completely in hot water. This will be different.
We decided to have the okonomiyaki. Here are the instructions in the packet:
It comes with tempura crunchies, seaweed garnish, and the flour and yam paste.
I forgot to buy the scallions, but the recipe still turned out delicious. We used bacon and mushrooms as our toppings and garnished with spicy mayo and hoisin sauce. Next time, I'l going to purchase soup stock, standard Japanese mayo, and okonomiyaki sauce.
The instructions ask for a pan with a lid. Fortunately, we have one.
This is the finished product:
It's not that difficult and very delicious. Infinitely customizable, a Japanese pizza as it's often called.
