Stir-fried Tomatoes is one of my family’s favourite side dishes. I often add extra ingredients such as Egg or Tofu. Today I added Pork and Egg, and cooked with Udon Noodles.

After my ‘Pumpkin Panna Cotta’ and ‘Pumpkin Creme Brûlée’ were so successful, I wanted to try another similar dessert, that is Bavarois. Bavarois is set with Gelatine like Panna Cotta, and the ingredients are almost identical with Creme Brûlée. I added 1 cup of pureed Cooked Pumpkin. This Bavarois tastes wonderful, looks pretty, and it …
‘An Pan’ is a Japanese bread roll filled with Sweet Azuki Paste. I believe it is one of Japanese soul foods. I often crave it, but it is not easy to find ‘An Pan’ where I live, and it takes a few hours to make it. This super easy Toastie is a great substitute. This …
My family loves my Pork ‘Kakuni’. I cook it using a pressure cooker.

When we have Tacos dinner, I cook this ‘Mexican Chicken’ which is my family’s favourite filling. I serve it with Tortillas and plenty of fresh Vegetables. Mexican Tacos is always a popular dinner menu for my family. I sprinkled with chopped Parsley, but Coriander would be more Mexican. I couldn’t use Coriander because my husband …

I like Rhubarb desserts, but I always want to add Strawberries just like my ‘Rhubarb & Strawberry Cobbler’. You might prefer using Rhubarb only. This recipe is for 2 servings but it is easy to multiply and you can bake a larger serve in a baking dish. But, it is much quicker and easier to …
