For a long time I wondered why this dish is called ‘Mongolian Beef’. I recently discovered it has nothing to do with Mongolian cuisine. Anyway, it is popular in Melbourne where I live. When I tried to cook it at home, I looked for recipes and I didn’t like all of them, because they were …
I received a message on my ‘Stewed Azuki (Red Beans)’ recipe page from a woman, whose name was Aileen. She wrote that the dish had reminded her what her late-mother used to cook for her large family. Aileen described how her mother would cook the dish, and this is how I would cook it. Thank …
These delicious cookies can be made with other ground Nuts such as Almonds. Today I used Pistachios, expecting the cookies would turn green, but they didn’t because the Pistachios I used were not really green. Probably they were not good quality. If you use good quality Pistachio that are really green, the cookies would look …
My family’s favourite Spinach dish is definitely ‘Goma-ae Spinach’, however it contains a fair amount of Soy Sauce. I am trying to reduce Salt intake because of my husband’s health issue. Today I used Japanese Mayonnaise to seasoned it and I added only 1 teaspoon Soy Sauce to this dish. It was salty enough for …
This is what I am most likely cooking when I don’t feel well with a cold or something. If I am very sick and weak, I would wish to eat ‘Okayu’, Japanese Rice Porridge, that is seasoned with only a small amount of Salt, but it is not nutritious. For this Rice Soup, Egg and …
At an event I attended, a woman and I started talking about Italian food as she was Italian descent. I told her I often cook Italian pasta with Soy Sauce, then she seemed very surprised. Are you surprised at a Spaghetti dish like this one, that is seasoned with Garlic, Butter and Soy Sauce? It …
Recently I have been cooking this dish repeatedly. The mixture of Prawns and Onion is supposed to be deep-fried, but I am reluctant to use a lot of oil since the accident I burnt my face with hot oil. I cook it with a generous amount of oil using a frying pan. It’s safe and …
Today I wanted to use up leftover Pistachios that were already ground. First I thought about making Puff Pastry Pinwheel Biscuits, but I didn’t have Puff Pastry. I absolutely didn’t want to bother making it, then I decided to make my ‘Easiest Sweet Shortcrust Pastry’. I used Egg Yolk for the Pastry, so I used …
In Japan where I grew up, Azuki (Red Beans) is most commonly used to make sweets, but I often use Azuki for savoury dishes such as ‘Azuki Rice’ and ‘Azuki & Carrot Salad’. Azuki can be cooked without soaking them in water to rehydrate, but it is a good idea to soak them for even …
This comforting Ramen Soup is super easy to cook. It can be more nutritious if you add extra ingredients such as green leafy vegetables. Today I used just Egg and Spring Onion. DO NOT season the soup too strongly as you are supposed to eat all of it. Makes 1 Serving Ingredients 1 serving Ramen …
Since Sushi Rolls became very popular in Melbourne where I live, I often come across unique Sushi Rolls. One of my favourites is Chicken ‘Katsu’ Rolls. One day I craved it but I didn’t want to bother making Sushi Rolls, so I made a Sushi Rice Bowl using the same ingredients. Chicken ‘Katsu’ (Fried Crumbed …
