Japanese BasicsFundamentals of Good Cooking

In this Basic category, Ryusei introduces you to many products, ingredients and methods of preparation in Japanese cuisine. Of course, Japanese cuisine is not just about cooking itself, because knowledge of the products is essential so that you can find your way around any East Asian supermarket and you can easily cook any dish from us and from other recipes.

What awaits you in our Basic category:

In the "Preparation" subcategory, we show you a few important preparation tips for some vegetables or other products. The "What exactly is it" subcategory is probably the most important category, because here we introduce you to every single product, from fish cakes to soy sauce. Here you will get comprehensive knowledge about these things and that will help you above all in your next shopping trip to shop effectively. The "Products" subcategory deals with branded products that we introduce to you. Who knows, maybe you'll try our product recommendations.

Finally, we have linked our detailed report on rice cookers. While this post is not a subcategory, cooking rice is so important to Japanese cuisine that many of our dishes go perfectly with rice. To make cooking easier for you, we recommend a rice cooker. You can find out everything you need to know and consider in the linked post.

With all this information, we want to show you the variety of Japanese cuisine and introduce you to products and ingredients that you probably don't even know, but in our opinion you should know. We hope you enjoy exploring.

Do you have any other tips, tricks or special suggestions? Are you missing a product or do you want to know how to best cut vegetable XY? Then let us know your wish and we will process it. We will definitely be constantly expanding and filling the "Basic" category. We look forward to your feedback, also via email.
