  • Have you ever tried Konnyaku (aka konjac)? Konnyaku is my go-to food when I want to lose weight and after eating naughty foods… why? 😱⁠ ⁠ Because konnyau is extremely low in calories and actually expands in your stomach- so it helps me to feel fuller for longer and has great detox effects! 😍⁠ ⁠ Noodle shaped konnyaku is called “miracle noodle” in USA and “slim” pasta in Australia. It is also great for detoxing. It absorbs toxins from your gut and is great for bowel movement because it is high in fibre- what an amazing detox weapon!! 💪⁠ ⁠ But most importantly- it is a super high alkalising food. When we eat naughty foods or get stressed, our body produces higher volumes of acid and nasties like viruses, cancerous cells, and inflammation thrive in this environment. ⁠😖⁠ ⁠ Konnyaku has a rubbly texture, which can be challenging to eat if you are new to it. I recommend starting out by adding it in smoothie! ⁠😍⁠ ⁠ KONNYAKU GREEN SMOOTHIE⁠ ⁠ Serve 1⁠ -⁠ INGREDIENTS⁠ -⁠ 100 g (3.5 oz) white konnyaku ⁠ 30 g (1 oz) kale⁠ 1 medium-sized banana⁠ 100 ml (3.5 oz) non-dairy milk ⁠ 100 ml (3.5 fl oz) water ⁠ 1⁄2 kiwi�⁠ Optional: Stevia/natural sweetener to taste. ⁠ -⁠ METHOD⁠ ⁠ 1. First boil the konnyaku for 5 minutes (if you use non-par-boiled Japanese konnyaku).⁠ 2. Place all the ingredients in a blender, turn on the machine and slowly increase the speed until the desired consistency is reached. �⁠ -⁠ ⁠ ⚠️ REMINDER: I am running Japanese superfoods ebooks GIVEAWAY now! You can learn all about Konnyaku from two of my books!

  • Throwback to a team lunch... back when we used to work in the same office... On this day I made Kumura soup with Japanese twist + mini salad burger 🌱 ⁠ ⁠⁠ My soup method is super simple, first put #alkaline water, vegan chicken stock powder (MSG free) salt, and chopped kumura and cook until soft. Then place this mix in a blender with soy milk and kuzu (I dissolve kuzu in water first) to make it thick and creamy. 💯💯💯⁠ ⁠ 😄 That is it! No oil is used. Super simple, right? ⁠ ⁠ I also used kumura, a sweet potato which is rich in beta carotene. ⁠ ⁠ Plus I made a little salad burger with kuzu. What is kuzu (aka kudzu)? Well, it is a Japanese superfood that I take a lot during flu season! ⁠🤧⁠ ⁠ Kuzu is still used in medicine in both Japan and China. Kuzu is fabulous for when you have a cold and flu or an upset stomach. It is also great for preventing viruses! 💪⁠ ⁠ Kuzu is also a healthy starch. Why? Because Kuzu is alkalizing – most starch foods are acidic! Alkalizing is important in keeping our overall health from any nasties like flu, inflammation or viruses, which thrive in an acidic environment! ⁠💚😄🌱⁠ Kuzu is one of my favourite Japanese superfoods. Want to know more Japanese superfoods? Good news - I will be giving away two Japanese superfoods book next week! ⁠⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ ⁠ ⁠ As we all work from home, lets remember to eat super healthy! A strong body can fight anything during this pandemic!

  • 🤤TOFU KARAAGE 🤤 Karaage is Japanese style deep fried chicken but when I make it, I like to use frozen tofu! Yep, you can freeze tofu! And once it is defrosted, it actually becomes like a sponge and absorbs more flavour! Lately during this lockdown, you may have been bulking buying products to freeze, well now you can buy tofu as well! I recommend using HARD tofu for this recipe rather than silken tofu 😊 This recipe is from my “Japanese Superfoods” cookbook ‼️ If you want more vegan Japanese recipes, I am actually running a GIVEAWAY of this cookbook as well my “Top 3 Japanese Superfoods for Natural Weight Loss” VERY SOON! 🤩 INGREDIENTS 🔸600g frozen firm or hard tofu 🔸60ml soy sauce or tamari 🔸60ml mirin 🔸40ml sake 🔸2 tsp grated ginger 🔸2 tsp grated garlic 🔸Around 1/4 cup potato flour METHOD: 1️⃣Defrost tofu by leaving in the fridge a day before or soak in hot water. 2️⃣Gently press the tofu to drain. Break the tofu into bite size pieces by hand. Squeeze tofu firmly in palm. 3️⃣ Mix soy sauce, mirin, sake, ginger and garlic in a medium sized bowl. 4️⃣Place the well-drained tofu in the mixture and sit for 10 minutes. 5️⃣Roll each tofu piece in potato flour. Dust off any excess flour. 6️⃣ Heat oil to 180 degrees Celsius and deep-fry until golden brown. Place on paper towel or wire rack. 😍 Serve immediately! 🤩 ⁠
  • Have you heard about Japanese superfoods? ⁠ ⁠ Japanese superfoods are the REAL KEY for good health and longevity and have been eaten since ancient times. Some are even used as medicinal foods. (Whenever I have a flu or upset tummy, are particularly Japanese superfoods are kuzu/kudzu and umeboshi). ⁠ ⁠ In Japan, we don’t really call them Japanese superfoods, they are just everyday ingredients. I actually started using this term when I wrote my second cookbook, because they are truly superfoods - they are nutrient-rich ancient foods that are very alkalising and have many health and beauty benefits! ⁠💪⁠ ⁠ Being healthy and having a strong immune system is VERY important more than ever during this mad time. Luckily we have more time to learn and cook at home - I would love to help you learn Japanese ancient wisdom! 😄⁠ ⁠ 🎉 GREAT NEWS! I will run a GIVEAWAY of this book “Japanese superfoods” VERY SOON! I will also be giving away my "TOP 3 Japanese Superfoods for Natural Weight Loss" ebooks! 🎉⁠ ⁠ In these books, they include not only recipes using Japanese superfoods (note: Japanese superfoods are so versatile so they can be included not only Japanese meals but also Western style meals and desserts) as well as tips to MAXIMISE the power of Japanese superfoods- what foods are good/bad, cooking tips to avoid etc… ⁠ ⁠ ⚠️ So if you are ready to introduce Japanese superfoods in your life, please stay tuned for my upcoming giveaway! ⁠💛⁠ ⁠ #cookwithyoshiko ⁠ #cookingwithyoshiko ⁠ #japaneseinspired ⁠ #japaneseinspiration ⁠ #veganinspiration ⁠ #veganinspired ⁠ #vegansydney ⁠ #sydneycookingclass ⁠ #cookbook⁠ #healthyfoodblog ⁠ #veganbook⁠⁠ #japanesefoodlovers⁠ #japanesehealthyfood ⁠⁠ #giveaway ⁠ #cookbookgiveaway ⁠ #healthgiveaway #vegancontest ⁠ #healthierchoices ⁠ #healthychoice ⁠ #healthylifestyle ⁠ #healthyeating ⁠ #healthyfood ⁠ #vegancommunity ⁠ #healthyveganfood ⁠ #healthyvegan ⁠ #instafood ⁠ #japanesechef ⁠ #healthyhabits⁠ #oishi⁠ #japanesecooking
