If you have been to Japan, you might have tried a popular dish called ‘Omu-rice’ (Omelette Rice). It is hugely popular, my children loved it when they were young and they still do, but it is actually not quick & easy to prepare for a whole family. I often made this easy version. It tastes …
In Japan, there is a super quick & easy dish called ‘Tamago Gohan’, that means ‘Egg Rice’. You just add a raw Egg and a little bit of Soy Sauce to hot Rice in a rice bowl, then mix it. The Egg would be slightly cooked by the heat. Nothing can be easier than this, …
This is a variation of my ‘Cold Ramen Noodle Salad’. Salad ingredients can be placed on top of noodles decoratively, but they can be mixed with the noodles like this one.
