Bored of the Same Chicken Dinner? Try This Creamy Japanese Recipe

Get My New Book: 'The Art of Japanese Cooking' from me and my grandma. 👉 https://frugaljapan.shop/ Easy to make Japanese recipes that your family will enjoy :) ------------------------------------------------------ I’m turning simple chicken, potatoes, and cream into a deeply golden Japanese-inspired dinner—and showing why two small steps before baking make all the difference. I’ll explain how salting chicken early and saving starchy potato water can transform a thin, bland sauce into a rich gratin that clings to every bite. Along the way, I’ll also make honey soy garlic chicken, a soft-centered potato omelet, meat and cheese potato nests, and salmon in miso cream sauce. I’ll share practical cooking habits that improve flavor, reduce food waste, and help everyday ingredients become better weekly dinners. 0:00 - Two habits for better dinners 1:19 - Chicken and potato gratin 8:37 - Honey soy garlic chicken 12:25 - Soft-centered potato omelet 16:43 - Meat and cheese potato nests 20:55 - Salmon in miso cream sauce 24:11 - Four essential cooking habits 24:58 - Saving leftover potato water 26:15 - The hidden cost of waste 27:26 - Your weekly cooking challenge #japan #japanesefood #cooking
