So I decided a different approach. With my Japanese dictionary app open, I started to look up Japanese recipes in Japanese instead of in English. And this made a world of a difference. Suddenly the recipes included cooking sake, mirin, and dashi stock, and I was learning the Japanese words for these ingredients and measurements.
I know very well that there must be authentic recipes for different cuisines written in English, but I realised that the chances of finding a delicious and authentic-tasting recipe for Japanese food improve a lot if I look for it in Japanese. I can only imagine it would be the same for other cuisines.
It's a wonderful example of hitting two birds with one stone. Craving some Italian pasta? Try looking up a pasta recipe in Italian and learn some Italian words at the same time! I can't say it will be quick, or that it will be easy. But I can say for certain that there is a special feeling of satisfaction when you find the perfect recipe to recreate a special dish that you have missed eating for months or even years!
