Whenever I get doughnuts on the weekend, one of my personal favorites is a buttermilk old-fashioned bar. These rectangular, craggy on the outside, fluffy and light on the inside doughnuts are just so addictive, just because there is so much textural contrast in one bite! I wanted to try making an air-fried version of those…

Meyer Lemon Baked Cake Doughnuts
When life gives you many, many lemons, you have to find things to do with them besides make lemonade. So when I happened upon a bunch of Meyer lemons, I already had a couple ideas in my back pocket. Meyer lemons, compared to your standard lemon, is a more orange hue compared to the yellow,…
Sourdough Sata Andagi(Okinawan Brown Sugar Doughnuts)
The first time I had sata andagi was in 2023 when my family and I were visiting Japan. We went to a local bakery in Kyoto, and they were selling these cute, rectangular, crackle-surfaced brown sugar doughnuts. I was a bit taken aback from the texture at first – I was expecting something more like…
Pink Sprinkled Sourdough Doughnuts
These doughnuts were the byproduct of me feeding my sourdough starter, and it overflowing from being fed and me having roughly 16oz of starter that I had to use up. A decent portion of it went towards making these air-fried sourdough doughnuts. Yes, air-fried and sourdough-based. The idea here was that I did not want…
Air Fried Blooming Onion with Onion Jus
Let me preface this recipe by saying that I actual blooming onion before. I have wanted to try one, but when I heard that they were the single most unhealthy thing to eat, I just got turned off by the idea. That is until I started using my air fryer more, and figured, why not…
Chili Crisp Chicken Lollipops with Japanese Pickles and Kale-slaw
For a hot minute, I have been trying to make wings using my air fryer. I love ordering wings whenever we get takeout from our local pizzeria – compared to almost every other cut of chicken besides the thigh, wings have a ton of flavor. They are annoying to eat, and you probably will have…
Miso Eggplant Onigiri
Miso eggplant is one of those flavor combinations that I really wanted to dislike, but actually loved from the get-go. For context, growing up, my mom would always serve bitter melon with miso paste, which caused me to develop a bit of a gag reflex towards vegetables served with miso for a long, long time….
Honeybee Doughnuts
My initial idea when I came up with these doughnuts were to do these little puffy fritters and garnish them with a honey drizzle and bee pollen. But then I really got thinking about them, and wanted to do a more literal translation of what these could be. I thought first about striping the doughnut…
Air fried poutine with spicy beef gravy
This is honestly the ugliest thing I have ever made. But that’s what poutine is: fries with gravy and cheese curds. What sets this poutine apart from most is that I went with using my air fryer on to potatoes – this does not make them fully guilt-free, but it does alleviate some of that…
