Vegetarian/vegan substitute for bonito flakes or dashi: kombu seaweed and shiitake mushroom. You can also find vegetarian dashi packets in Asian groceries. I even found it in an American store near the soy sauce. And of course use tofu or tempeh instead of meat.

You are simply one of a kind. Thoughtful, engaging and a superb teacher. I’m spending my Saturday watching your videos and enjoying every minute. I miss living in Japan and your videos make me miss it even more. Thank You for all your amazing effort and skill.

As always, your food looks delicious and I want to eat it all! Can’t thank you enough for taking the time to make these videos and inspiring us to try new dishes.

Great eggplant recipes! Very easy and looks delicious. So looking forward to making them. Thanks for using that sized eggplant, and not the Japanese eggplant which is harder for me to get.

I like the vegan dishes. Thank you.

I made mapo one my friends and family loved it made it vegan i make it weekly now

It is awesome to seeing your delicious dishes thanks for your reminder of ingredients age will get that sometimes

Thank for the easy recipes and tips 😊

Hi there, I love your videos! A suggestion- if u make small holes in the eggplant with a fork it shouldn’t explode.

Hello Taiji, and thank you for these very simple and wonderful recipes. If you want to try a portuguese version: slice the eggplants, put them on an oven tray, drizzle some olive oil over it, plus salt, rosemary leaves and some minced garlic. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes. Deeeee-licious! 🤩🤩🤩

Well done. Great content. Well delivered.

Wow. I just realized there's many ways for eggplant menu. More power.

I made the steamed eggplant with spicy sauce. Had a big eggplant so had leftovers second and third day and found the dish tasted better the longer I kept it in the fridge!

I really like your tip on the ginger & crushing it with the grater. Looking forward to trying the Maui eggplant.

I used to not like eggplant... But then I found your channel. Mind. Blown.

Do you ever salt the eggplant before cooking to draw out bitterness? 🤔 Also if you have gas you can char the eggplant to add a smokey flavour, very delicious 🤤

The grilled eggplant in the oven gets more aroma and doesn’t explode if you cut it at least in half. And Mapo Something without Szechuan-Pepper is not „mapo“. But I like the combination with eggplant instead of tofu.

what kind of rice are you using?
