Hiroko's American Kitchen
Illuminate American cooking and demystify Japanese flavors
The Scoop
- Flavor your soups and stocks with Ma-Kombu, known as the king of kelp.
- Behold the brilliant purple hue and smooth flavor of the sweet potato vinegar
We have our favorite foods, the ones we cook over and over again, but let’s get real: we’re a community of cooks who likes to get a little wild from time to time, to experiment, to try our hand at exotic meals. The only thing that stands in our way? Not being able to find that rare vinegar, or unusual seasoning, for the latest recipe we’re lusting over. The Ingredient Finder is the end of that. Here’s to playing in the kitchen!
About The Ingredient Finder
Jim Feldman is a cook first; he believes in having fun in the kitchen. But when he can’t source the 00 flour necessary to make his grandmother’s fettuccine, he sees that as a problem. (And so do we -- a grave one.) He started The Ingredient Finder so no one would have to go through this, pairing up with experts like Hiroko Shimbo -- an authority on Japanese cuisine and an award-winning author -- to find each and every ingredient a cook would ever need.

On a return visit to Japan a few years ago, I fell hard for kombu, a glutamate-rich kelp that typifies the savory flavor known as umami. I add kombu to a rich onion consommé and serve it over spelt pasta that's similar to soba noodles. It's a beautiful pairing. The kombu adds a discreet backdrop to the dish, not so much ocean-y as earthy. —Michael Anthony, Gramercy Tavern, New York City
