What's New?
It isn’t “all burgers, all the time” in May. This also happens to be National Egg Month, and there’s no better way to show the egg some love and reward the number-one mom in your life than with a breakfast of del-egg-table dishes. Sweet or savory, they’re even more impressive when made with Kikkoman Panko Breadcrumbs and Unsweetened Pearl Organic Soymilk.

This Month's Fare
National Hamburger Month – Fire up the Grill with Kikkoman
The hamburger may be America’s favorite sandwich. In fact, when we fire up the grill, 73% of the time it’s because we’re making burgers! With all that burger-building, we’ll need more than just mustard and ketchup to keep our taste buds on their toes—which is where the umami goodness of Kikkoman Soy Sauce comes in. Its savory flavor works magic on any burger—beef, poultry, veggie and beyond. In fact, check out this Hearty Bean Burger for a nice alternative to meat.
Asian Flavors
Asian specialty ingredients add instant sophistication and appeal to a variety of dishes. After learning the basics from this guide, you'll be able to create new and delicious recipes or add an Asian touch to an old favorite.
Umami
Until recently, Western taste physiology experts traditionally talked about four basic flavors: sweet, salty, sour and bitter. But the Japanese include a fifth flavor: umami ("oo-ma-mee").
Tools of the Trade
Good kitchen tools are to a home cook what a well-supplied toolbox is to a carpenter. A pot wouldn't be used to fry an egg, just as a saw would be the wrong tool for driving a nail into wood.
