Chili crunch cucumbers
Add a spoonful of chili crunch (I used the momofuku brand) to a bowl of sliced cucumbers. One of my fav snacks!
Sticky shrimp and bok choy
Peel and devein shrimp. Mince garlic and grate ginger, then add both to two small bowls. Add honey, soy sauce, and salt to one bowl, and just soy sauce to the other. Mix and pour most of the larger sauce onto the shrimp to marinate. Cut bok choy into pieces and separate the whites from the leaves. Cook shrimp on medium-high heat, then remove from pan. Add a bit of water to deglaze the pan, then add the bok choy whites. After they soften a bit, add the greens and the smaller sauce. Move to a bowl. Add back the shrimp and the leftover sauce to warm through. Serve with rice!
Red pepper hummus
Slice red bell pepper and broil for 5 mins or until charred. Immediately move to a bowl and cover with saran wrap to steam. To a blender, add two cans of chickpeas, a third of the leftover chickpea liquid, a large scoop of tahini, many swirls of olive oil, the juice of two lemons, salt and garlic. Remove the peppers from the bowl and peel off the skin, then add to the blender. Blend until smooth!
Mini miso eggplant and tofu
Rub japanese purple sweet potato with oil, poke a few holes with a fork, and roast in the oven at 425 for an hour. Make miso eggplant and serve with soft tofu topped with soy sauce and bonito flakes.
Hi Emily❤️ love your posts!! Can you post your outfits again(: and workouts/cleaning tips/ other daily in your life info🥰
It's difficult to find the exact ingredients for some of your recipes. I can make out the Whole Foods or ingredients but the Japanese ones are hard. Would you be able to list the Japanese ingredients you typically use?
