Vibrant Yatai street stalls in Japan serve up all kinds of delicious dishes--from steaming bowls of ramen with all your favorite fixings, to crispy gyoza dumplings and perfectly seasoned onigiri rice balls. This book brings the flavor and fun of those lively streets right into your kitchen.

This new cookbook by Laure Kie, Europe's leading Japanese cookbook author, takes you on a colorful culinary journey through the back lanes of Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto where the best street food can be found--and shows you how to recreate these easy, crowd-pleasing dishes at home, including:

• Yakitori: Soy-glazed chicken skewers grilled to juicy perfection--momo (thigh meat) and tebasaki (wings) are the most popular!
• Katsu Sando: Thin pork cutlets breaded and fried until crispy on the outside and tender inside, then tucked into a sandwich with mayo and lettuce!
• Okonomiyaki: This savory, stuffed pancake is loaded with cabbage, meat, and egg, then drizzled with a sweet, soy-based sauce and plenty of toppings!
• Karaage: These mouthwatering Japanese-style chicken nuggets are marinated in mirin, garlic, and soy, then coated in potato starch for an irresistible crunch!
• Onigiri: The "new sushi" and a simple kawaii treat--these versatile rice balls can be filled with anything from seafood and seaweed to herbs and seasonal veggies!

All the recipes use easy-to-find ingredients and simple, step-by-step instructions you can follow at home. Each dish is beautifully photographed in full color to inspire your cooking!
