Buttery soft rolls with a hint of saltiness and a bit of sweetness, these sea salt butter rolls also known as Shio Pan, 塩パン are a perfect balance of flavours in every bite. If you don’t know, crispy salt butter rolls are a delightful bakery treat made from a soft dough that is rolled out thin, filled with a butter block, and then sprinkled with coarse salt on top. Shio pan was originated in Japan and has become very popular in Taiwan in the past few years. People would even line up in front of the bakeries before they open in order to buy shio pan.



These shio pan rolls are amazingly light, flaky, and most importantly, buttery. They are soft and fluffy on the inside, yet it packs a satisfying crunch with its crust and uniquely buttery and crunchy bottom. My recipe uses a dough starter and milk powder in the dough; this gives the bread a more complex flavor with softer and lighter texture.



Were they really salty? Not really. They are buttery. There is something in that hint of salt that makes the buttery flavor stand out in the bread, without being really salty. When the bread is baking, the salted butter that's rolled inside the bread melts and flows to the bottom, so the bottom part is "fried" in the butter. The butter eventually becomes brown butter and gives a delightful aroma to the bread. YUM!

Of all the fried rice dishes I’ve ever eaten in my life, I’d say that Thai pineapple fried rice is probably my overall favourite. This better-than-takeout Thai-style pineapple fried rice is the perfect savoury/sweet recipe to satisfy your cravings.



The charm isn’t simply the savoury and sweet combination, but also the use of fragrant curry powder. Add juicy, sweet pineapple chunks in addition to bright green peas, and crunchy, nutty cashews. This is an unusual marriage of flavours that simply works.



You can have this dish ready in minutes because your rice is cooked the day before and the rest of the ingredients are quickly stir-fried. No need to order pineapple fried rice from takeout when you can make it faster than it can get there. This recipe is so fast and easy to make, you can have it every night if you want to. With a perfect balance of sweet and savoury, you will taste the mouthwatering flavors of Southeast Asia in this dish.

Green flatbreads may seem a little odd at first glance. but what a clever way to eat your greens. The carbohydrate, vitamin and mineral elements are covered. All you need to add is protein and flavour. They’re vegan too! I made a miso chickpea mushroom filling to go with them.



Why make your own flatbreads? Because you can control exactly what goes into them and bake them to your desired perfection. Plus it’s fun. Watch them puff up as you cook them. Not to mention that this recipe is outright the healthiest flatbread recipe as it incorporates all the goodness of spinach in it. All you need to do is grab the freshest bunch of spinach and knead the dough with it.



These super nutritious green flatbread recipe is nearly as easy to make as plain ones and they come together in no time at all. So while you serve this as just another flatbread, you will be serving a healthy dose of veggies to your family and friends.
