Mille Feuille Nabe
If you’ve been scrolling through your “For You” page lately, chances are you’ve come across the beautifully layered Mille Feuille Nabe. This viral Japanese hot pot dish is more than just eye candy—it’s an incredibly easy, comforting, and healthy weeknight dinner that comes together in less than 30 minutes. Pro-tip: If you have a hot plate, set the nabe on it to keep a steady simmer going throughout dinner.
Curry Udon
Curry roux has saved me countless times, and I love using the cubes to quickly prepare a delicious Japanese-style curry. S&B Foods first introduced this convenient block form of curry roux in 1956, made from a solid mixture of fat, flour, and curry spices as the base flavor. Today, you can find a wide selection of instant Japanese curry roux in the Asian section of American supermarkets.

Creamy Miso Udon Soup
