Back in November, I shared a recipe for butternut and chestnut miso soup inspired by Fall and my recent trip to Japan. At the time, I also had two other lovely recipes ready to be shared so it is about time I give them to you.
The first one, sweet potato gyoza, was my first try at making dumplings. I really love gyoza and could eat tons of them every time I go to a Japanese restaurant. The ones I tried in Japan were really perfect, crispy and delicious, but the ones that always stick to my mind are delicious sweet potato gyoza dumplings I ate in a Japanese restaurant in Melbourne, Australia (the area was Northcote so if anyone knows the place I mean, please share the name in the comments section). They were so wonderful and flavoursome! I realised that if I wanted to eat them again around here, I would probably just need to make my own and I did. I was really happy with how they turned out. The recipe might sound a bit long but it is not that difficult and the result is so satisfying that it is well worth it!

The second recipe is for bacon and mushroom okonomiyaki. I already mentioned these delicious Japanese types of omelette or pancake here. It is really easy to make, delicious and comforting. I have given notes under the recipe to make your okonomiyaki gluten free or vegetarian, or both!
And if you get your hands on a bag of bonito flakes, you will probably get to have some fun like in this little video I shared on Instagram.
Stay tuned for some highlights of a few days spent in the Japanese country side soon on the blog!
