Light, clean, and stupidly good Japanese soup#
Tender turnip simmered in seasoned dashi, a little matsutake aroma, fresh greens, yuzu, and a broiled piece of black cod right on top. Simple technique, big flavor.
Perfect for cold nights or when you want something comforting but still refined.
Recipe is in the video or comments, save it for later.

What a 34 years it’s been! 35 today, feeling deeply grateful for the incredible journey this year! Looking back, I see a life full of people, love, opportunities, and experiences that have shaped me into who I am today and thank you for being part of this🙇♂️
In my younger years, I held onto two words: consistency and discipline. These principles pushed me to wake up early, quit drinking, stop celebrating Fridays when I hadn’t earned it, and show up to work early every day. Those two words still guide me, but now they mean something more internal.
Consistency and discipline now mean choosing to enjoy life every day because we get to decide which story we want to live every day and every moment. To let go of ego and pride, and to lean into faith, choose to enjoy the moment. I like to call it “doing it with finesse”.
We all have to navigate the rocky waters of life, so why not do it with a damn smile telling ourselves the best story? You might just make someone’s day better while you’re at it 😁
Thank you for listening to my 35 year old musings. Much love to all of you.
Thank you for all the messages they brighten the day☀️

Shoot for the moon at least you’ll end up in the stars.
The mentality I learned at 18 and still keep this mindset close to my heart.
Also if you visit japan you need to visit Osaka. It’s called “nihon no daidokoro” which means the dining room of Japan because of all the delicious food.

One of Japan’s most prized mushrooms… and the easiest way to ruin it is trying too hard to make it taste better.
Matsutake is known for its incredible aroma, and the last thing you want to do is cover it up with too many flavors.
So I’m keeping it simple with matsutake chawanmushi, a silky Japanese steamed egg custard.
My ratio is 2.5:1 dashi to egg for that delicate, silky texture while letting the matsutake shine.
Sometimes the best cooking technique is knowing when to do less.

Butter rice might be the best tasting and wholesome easy meal out there.
Really good hot Japanese rice, butter, and soy sauce, topped with a little pork belly and green onion. When something is this simple, every ingredient matters.

That bright red tuna might not be what you think.
Comparing yellowfin, CO-treated yellowfin, and bluefin tuna side by side. Let’s talk about color, flavor, quality, and why the best-looking tuna isn’t always the best-tasting.

The 7-minute meal I make when life gets busy 🥟🌿
Cook your @ajinomotous Hane-Style Gyoza, then toss them in this easy green onion sauce. The sauce sticks to the crispy Hane wing, making the perfect bite every time.
Green onions 2T
Sesame oil 1T
Yuzu juice 1T
Black pepper 0.5T
Dashi powder 0.5T
Pinch of salt
Skip the takeout and reach for a box of these next time.

10+ years later and we’re still cooking together. Pretty damn cool.
Spent two days in Spokane for the Pacific Northwest Food & Wine Festival at the historic @staydavenport . From walking around tasting food and meeting everyone to putting on our dinner, it was a pretty awesome weekend.
Being a Washington chef, it’s always special getting to do events in our own backyard. But getting to reconnect and cook with friends I’ve known for over a decade, just like the old pop-up days, made this one even better.
The guests, the energy, the food. Spokane, you guys really showed up. Thank you for having us!
