TOGARASHI
My brother owns a Japanese resturant in KC and he gave me a bottle of Nanami Togarashi. So reading up on it on the web I found a recipe to make your own. From the Honolulu Advertiser. This is from the article 3/12/03...Togarashi is the Japanese word for red chili peppers and the generic name for a family of condiments that blend chili pepper with other ingredients. Shichimi or ichimi togarashi is common in island homes and casual Japanese restaurants. Nanami togarashi is a close cousin, with a slightly different formulation featuring citrus peel. The mixtures are sprinkled over noodles, yakitori (grilled dishes) and nabe (one-pot meals) and used in soups and stews. The sharp, hottish flavor and slightly gritty texture of the togarashi mixtures is seen as a great contrast to fatty and fried foods such as unagi (eel), tempura (batter-fried foods) or shabu shabu (meats and other ingredients cooked in bubbling rich broth).

SHICHIMI TOGARASHI GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN
Seven spice powder, or what is commonly known as shichimi togarashi in Japan, pairs perfectly with grilled meats, noodles and soups. Freshly ground orange peel provides a citrusy aroma, while seaweed adds an oceanic flavor. Freshly ground ginger, black peppercorns, and toasted black & white sesame seeds add layers of flavor to make a complex marinade in this grilled pork tenderloin dish. Pork is by far the most popular type of meat in Japan- consumed nearly as much as chicken and beef combined. But it wasn't always this way. The ban on meat began in the mid sixteenth century and is thought to be due to the rise of Buddhism at the time. This ban lasted over 1,200 years and was lifted in the late 1800's, with the rise of foreign trade among countries.

TOGARASHI CHEESECAKE WITH SORGHUM
This is my adult version of cheesecake, full of togarashi. I use it a lot in savory recipes to add spice, but here it gives the cake a sharp, spicy note that helps balance the denseness.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- To make the crust:
- Stir the cookie crumbs, sugar, and melted butter together in a medium bowl with a fork until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press the mixture evenly onto the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake until golden brown and crispy, about 10 minutes. Cool completely. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F.
- To make the filling:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or using a handheld mixer), beat together the goat cheese, cream cheese, and buttermilk until smooth and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Gradually beat in the sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Beat in the lemon zest and juice. Beat in ½ teaspoon of the togarashi.
- Assemble:
- Pour the filling into the springform pan. Sprinkle the top with the remaining ½ teaspoon togarashi. Wrap the pan in aluminum foil to prevent leaks and place the pan in a large roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to come one-third of the way up the sides of the cake pan.
- Bake the cheesecake for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until slightly puffed. Remove the cake pan from the water bath and allow it to cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. (The cheesecake can be refrigerated, tightly wrapped in plastic wrap, for up to 5 days.)
- To serve, run a thin knife around the sides of the cake pan and release the sides of the pan. Slide the cheesecake onto a serving platter. Drizzle the top with a little sorghum, slice, and serve.

TOGARASHI ONION RINGS WITH WASABI DIPPING SAUCE
Steps:
- Heat 3 inches of oil in a medium Dutch oven until the oil reaches 365 degrees F.
- Whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, togarashi and wasabi in a small bowl. Top with the pickled ginger. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Peel the onions and cut them crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Separate the slices in rings. Set up a dredging station with two shallow dishes. Pour the buttermilk into the first dish. In the second dish, whisk together the panko, flour, sesame seeds, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder and salt. Dip each onion ring in the buttermilk and then in the seasoned panko mixture. Set on a baking sheet in a single layer until you have dredged all the onion rings.
- Working in batches, gently add the breaded onion rings to the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4 minutes, flipping them over halfway through. Remove to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet and season with togarashi.
- Serve the onions rings with the wasabi dipping sauce.
Tips:
- Use a variety of peppers: Togarashi is typically made with a combination of Japanese chili peppers, such as cayenne, ancho, and shishito peppers. You can also use other types of peppers, such as paprika, red pepper flakes, or even black pepper.
- Toast the peppers before grinding: Toasting the peppers will bring out their flavor and make them more pungent. You can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or you can roast them in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes.
- Grind the peppers into a fine powder: Once the peppers are toasted, grind them into a fine powder using a spice grinder, coffee grinder, or mortar and pestle.
- Store the togarashi in an airtight container: Togarashi can be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
- Use togarashi to add flavor to a variety of dishes: Togarashi can be used to add flavor to soups, stews, stir-fries, ramen, noodles, grilled meats, and vegetables. It can also be used as a condiment or dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Togarashi is a versatile Japanese spice blend that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is easy to make at home and can be stored for up to 6 months. With its spicy, smoky, and slightly sweet flavor, togarashi is a great way to add a little bit of heat and complexity to your favorite recipes.
