Everyone’s been asking for this one! These Spicy Peanut Noodles are creamy, bold, and ready in just 10 minutes. The secret? A spoonful of OKAZU Chili Miso for the perfect balance of heat and umami. It’s an easy, satisfying meal—just mix, toss, and slurp.
When Abokichi first started out, we used to sell onigiri (Japanese rice balls) and the "chili and kelp" flavour was one of our best sellers. It was the popularity of this onigiri that led us to start selling OKAZU in jars. Now, we are happy to share the original recipe for the kelp portion of this onigiri flavour. While cooking, your home will be filled with the tangy nostalgic aroma we sometimes encounter while walking around Tokyo.
Fried rice is a great fridge cleaning kind of dish, so use liberty to play with it and use up all those veggies that are getting sad in the crisper. We cook rice often around here, often for no particular reason other than to have some cooked rice on hand. Sometimes it gets consumed when it’s fresh and hot, sometimes, it ends up in the fridge. I’d suggest you think of fried rice as French toast’s rice-y cousin. Just as you can revive slightly stale bread for delicious French toast, you want fridge rice for fried rice. It’s a favourite side dish around here, but can easily become the main course if you’ve loaded it up with enough veggies and protein. Don’t forget to clean out your fridge by using whatever needs to get used. Some inclusions that we also enjoy are cabbage, broccoli, bell pepper, and
Udon noodles are the best.
They're so fun to eat and their thickness really helps to hold onto all that yummy sauce. They also make for the easiest dinners, and are a great way of using up whatever veggies you have in the fridge.
This stir fry was easy to make. We used OKAZU, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, garlic and ginger for the stir fry sauce and added some bok choy and mushrooms to the noodles. So quick and tasty!

Hummus is one of our favourite foods. Its incredible taste combined with its creaminess really adds another level of flavour and texture to any dish. It's also highly nutritious and easy to prepare. To make things even better, there are so many versions of hummus - you're bound to find a favourite!
Grilled summer corn is one of our favourite ways to enjoy our Instant Miso Soup and OKAZU! Grilling on the stove is a great alternative in case your BBQ gets rained on. A simple and easy recipe for summer!
