Japanese Ministry of Agriculture Videos

The Japanese Ministry of Agriculture has put out a series of videos on youtube about Japanese food. Each video explores some aspect of Japanese cooking and features a recipe or two. They are a bit hokey, but incredibly informative.

Here are six episodes:

Rice

Seafood

Vegetables

Fruit

Forrest Gifts

Wagyu

Random Asian Cooking Links

I've started to tune into some cooking blogs to see what other people write about and to see if I can glean any tips from the Asian cooking oriented blogs. Here are a few:

Fortune Cookies from Serious Eats

Hibachi Steak House Sauce from Nancy (See her comment on the last post)

Japanese Fortune Rolls from About Japanese Food

Japanese Cuisine Basics from A Food Lover's Guide to Tokyo

Enjoy.
