What's New?

Showcase Your Favorite Family Recipes with Kikkoman!

As the days get shorter and the holidays approach, most of us start digging out our old favorite recipes — that autumn soup we always make, our mother's comforting casserole, and our traditional Thanksgiving dishes. Sure, tradition has its place, but it's also fun to try something new in the kitchen. Plus, we're entering a whole new season, so why not?

With a cupboard full of Kikkoman products, from our naturally brewed Soy Sauce to Panko, you can really have some fun improvising…and who knows? Maybe you'll create a new tradition.

Here are some ideas to get you started:

• Mashed yams? Add a swirl of Kikkoman Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce, with or without a sprinkling of brown sugar.

• Liven up rice pilaf — try basmati rice sautéed with chopped onion and cooked in chicken broth. Add fresh ginger, orange zest and a splash of Kikkoman Soy Sauce.

• Baste a roasting chicken or turkey with Kikkoman Teriyaki Baste & Glaze .

• Replace regular bread crumbs with Kikkoman Bread Crumbs (Panko) for a change. Panko gives lightly breaded, sautéed meat, fish or poultry a new kind of crispness.

• Slow roasted vegetables are a perennial autumn favorite. Brush sliced and seeded red bell pepper, diced yams or butternut squash, quartered red onions, carrots and whole garlic cloves with a blend of Kikkoman Soy Sauce and olive oil. Add a couple of sprigs of fresh rosemary or thyme and roast for about an hour at 375°F. Talk about a tempting aroma!

Now that you've got some new autumn and holiday ideas, why not write them down (maybe your traditional version and a new twist on it) and give the recipes as "just because" gifts with a kitchen utensil? Maybe a salad-dressing-size whisk, wooden lemon reamer, citrus zester or a good basting brush — and don't forget a bottle of naturally brewed Kikkoman Soy Sauce.

Kikkoman Soy Sauce is the star of our recipe for Asian Style Stuffing made with Kikkoman Bread Crumbs (Panko), button mushrooms, water chestnuts and green onions. A new twist on a traditional favorite sure to be a hit with your family this Thanksgiving
