I had leftover 1 Egg Yolk today. I wanted to eat something custardy, such as Creme Brûlée OR Creme Caramel. So, I decided to make this custard. I mixed all ingredients and microwaved it. It took less than 5 minutes to make it. Once it is cooled down, the custard was firm. I enjoyed it …
I often use Italian Spaghetti for Japanese dishes. The other day, I decided to cook ‘Spaghetti Aglio Olio e Peperoncino’, a famous Italian dish, replacing Spaghetti with Japanese Soba Noodles. It was surprisingly delicious and you can see the photo of the dish below. Today I used Sesame Oil instead of Olive Oil, and seasoned …
This is the essentail sauce for traditional Christmas Pudding, but for grown-ups only. I don’t make this Custard Sauce very sweet as I always serve it with sweet dessert, but you may wish to add extra Sugar. The sauce becomes thicker as it cools. You can make it thinner by adding a little extra Milk. …
Very thinly sliced meat OR fish is called ‘Sukimi’ in Japanese. Sukimi Beef cooked in a sweet sauce is known as ‘Sukiyaki.’ Thinly sliced other meat can be used. Today I tried with Lamb. As I always eat it with rice, I made it into a rice bowl dish. It was absolutely delicious! Makes 1 …
Lemon Curd is easy to make, so is Orange Curd. You can make Orange Curd in the similar way as Lemon Curd, but you need to add Sugar cautiously because Orange Juice can be quite sweet. I usually don’t add Corn Starch to Lemon Curd, but for Orange Curd, it helps to stabilise the texture. …
I make Bavarois desserts always based on my ‘Basic Bavarois’ recipe. Add extra ingredients such as pureed Fruit, so that you can make a variety of Bavarois desserts. Today I used 1 can Peach Slices. I pureed the drained Peach Slices and added 1/2 cupful of it to Bavarois mixture, and used the remaining puree …

Garlic Chives are not a herb for many Asians. They are a vegetable and I purchase them in a fairly large bunch. I used 40g of them for this dish. 40g Garlic Chives would look too much for 1 serving. However, the volume of Garlic Chives would be reduced a lot when cooked. I recommend …
Already cooked Udon Noodles are very handy to stock. I often use Cooked Udon to make my lunch. Today I had some thinly sliced Pork Belly which is also very handy to have as it can be cooked very quickly. Cook Pork in a frying pan while Udon is being heated in boiling water. This …

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 …
I think my ‘Coffee Panna Cotta’ is pretty delicious, but it would be difficult to beat this ‘Coffee Bavarois’ which has superior flavour and texture.
