Recipe: Okinawan Taco Rice


Food & Wine Magazine, Jun 2026, p. 73
4.8 stars

So good and flavorful but a bit acidic! Still really liked it! It's a fun Asian take on a Chipotle bowl. We made quite a few modifications.

Ingredients: sushi rice, beef, pepper Jack cheese, pico de gallo, Kewpie mayonnaise, ketchup, tamari or soy sauce, mirin, Worcestershire sauce, Japanese curry powder, cornstarch, water, extra-virgin olive oil, Kosher salt

Topping Ingredients: lettuce, Mexican-style hot sauce, tortilla chips

Tips/Notes:
  • Used Impossible Beef
  • Couldn't find Japanese curry powder so used 1 tsp curry powder + 1 tsp togarashi
  • Used regular mayo instead of Kewpie mayo

Recipe: Power Cookies



Food & Wine Magazine, Jun 2026, p. 92
4.6 stars

These were good -- I liked them (great flavor), but they were soft, like falling apart soft so because of that I'd rather make other cookie recipes instead of this one again.

Ingredients: almond flour, natural nut butter, maple syrup, egg, whole-milk Greek yogurt, hemp seeds, baking soda, vanilla extract, butter, salt, add-ins like chocolate chips, raisins, pumpkin seeds...

Notes:
  • Used chocolate chunks
  • Made 15 cookies
