“My favorite Kayanoya product is the low sodium vegetable dashi. I love the flavor profile and how it enhances the taste of many vegetarian and non-vegetarian recipes that I prepare.”

Kayanoya’s People’s Voice is a series of short interviews with our community—sharing how they cook, what they reach for, and the pantry staples they rely on.
In this edition, KC shares how those staples fit into daily routines.

I live in Northern California. My food preferences are Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Mediterranean, and Mexican.
Here are a few dishes KC often makes—simple, flexible recipes that fit into everyday routines.

I also enjoy using it to enhance the taste of a Japanese doria with ham, cheese, onion, napa, shiitake and brown rice.

I enjoy substituting the vegetable dashi instead of chicken broth to prepare an Italian minestrone soup or even a roast sweet potato soup.
KC, thank you for sharing your everyday cooking with Kayanoya!
