This is another very popular and traditional Japanese dish that you would never come across at Japanese restaurants. I do crave this type of dish occasionally. It’s a very simple dish and I enjoy it with freshly cooked Rice. The most tricky part of cooking this dish is cooking Soy Beans. The Dried Soy Beans …
Frozen Butter Puff Pastry if very handy to stock in the freezer. I often make pies and snacks using Puff Pastry. Today I wrapped Cherry filling and baked in the oven. As Cherries are not in season now and I couldn’t find Frozen Cherries either, I used 1 can of Pitted Cherries. It was super …
There are some particular food that I wish to eat when I am unwell. ‘Okayu’ Japanese Rice Porridge and ‘Ojiya’ Egg Rice Porridge are the ones. The other day, I caught a cold and stayed in bed wishing someone to cook this ‘Egg Udon Soup’ for me. Only my husband and son were home and …
Sushi Rice is seasoned with Vinegar, Sugar and Salt. The sweet and sour Sushi Rice goes well with so many different ingredients and flavours.

I tend to season Chicken with Soy Sauce. The other day, I wanted to try a totally new flavour. Since my husband travelled to Barbados, a Caribbean island, I have been interested in Caribbean cuisine.

I have a great recipe for ‘Oats & Banana Cookies’. They can be made with No Egg, No Flour, No Dairy. The binding ingredient is Ripe Banana, so they taste Banana. The other day, I wanted to make Cocoa flavoured Oats Cookies, but I didn’t have Banana. So I made a new recipe. You need …
This rice bowl dish is very quick and easy for me to prepare because I almost always have a bottle of my family’s ‘Yakiniku’ Sauce in the fridge. If you have a store-bought ‘Yakiniku’ Sauce, you can use it. If you don’t have it, don’t give up. I have included a simple alternative sauce in …
To make Soufflé Sponge Cake, you need to prepare the cake tin properly and steam bake it in the oven using a water bath. The other day I tried to cook it in my rice cooker to find out what would happen. The cake was cooked well, though it didn’t look very pretty. Probably it …
You might think Nori is only for Sushi Rolls. It’s a sea plant processed into thin sheet. You can use it for many dishes. I often use it for salads. ‘Cabbage & Nori Salad’ is just an example. Today I dressed thinly sliced Cabbage with Gochujang Mayo Dressing, and added plenty of TOASTED Nori. You …
Flammkuchen (OR Flammekueche), sometimes called ‘German Pizza’, is not well known. I am a huge fan of Flammkuchen and make it very often. Topping can be anything if it goes well with Sour Cream.
