There are three commonly used ingredients to season Japanese dishes, and they are Sugar, Soy Sauce and Mirin. They are the essentials in my kitchen. This is a very simply stir-fried Beef & Onion seasoned with Sugar, Soy Sauce and Mirin. This is the flavour I grew up with and I always love. I added …
I use Lamb Chops for this Curry, but you can use boneless Lamb meat that is easy to eat. If you love Curry, you probably have a collection of Spices. Please use your own blend of Spices, but I use Japanese S&B Curry Powder. I use 1 tablespoon only, and the flavour is mild and …
I have been using a lot of Parsley for cooking lately. The other day I cooked Asian flavoured ‘Parsley Pancake’. Today I cooked Potato Pancakes and I added a lot of Parsley to the mixture. It was delicious. I added firmly packed 1/2 cupful Parsley, which looked too much, but surprisingly Parsley flavour was not …
My rice cooker has ‘Cake’ setting. I have found it is the best way to cook Upside-down Cakes, but it is perfect for cooking crust-less Quiche and Frittata as well. I have shared my ‘Rice Cooker Zucchini Frittata’ and ‘Spinach and Ham Frittata’ recipes on this website. Here is another one for you to try. …
You may have seen this dish at Chinese take-aways. It is actually a very simple stir-fry. However, because I always use Japanese Soy Sauce, the same dish I cook always looks different and tastes different. Then, I have learned that Dark Soy Sauce is commonly used to season this dish. I bought a small bottle …
A quick, easy and healthy dish, that’s what I want to cook for my lunch. I cook Harusame Soup very often, because it is absolutely ‘quick, easy and healthy’. Today I made this Pho Inspired Chicken & Harusame Soup, and it was so good. Dry Harusame Noodles can be cooked in the seasoned soup very …
You can create something similar to Pizza using a frying pan, quickly and easily, and more energy efficiently. Today I cooked thinly sliced Onion and Bacon with a little Oil, then cover with some shredded Cheese and a Flatbread, and cooked until nicely browned. Very simple. You only need a non-stick frying pan. If your …
I am a big fan of Tom Yum soups, particularly ‘Tom Yum Goong’. I don’t cook it at home as I usually don’t have ingredients such as Lemongrass and Kaffir Lime Leaves. So it is a restaurant food for me, though I often find it too spicy. This is my recipe to make a similar …
Well… this dish is not fried, so I shouldn’t name it Fried Rice, but it is almost the same as typical Fried Rice. It is extremely easy to prepare if you have a rice cooker. You don’t need to stand in front of hot cooktop. Place everything in the rice cooker’s inner pot and press …
Any cooked Beans can be used for this salad, but I like small beans such as Lentils and Azuki Beans. I often add Wholegrain Mustard to this type of salad, but today I added Capers, and it was delicious. I thought Italian Herbs would be lovely in this salad, so I added Dried Italian Mixed …
Obviously this dish has been inspired by an Indian dish ‘Dhal’. I always use Japanese S&B Curry Powder, so this dish tastes similar to Japanese curry. Of course you can use your favourite Curry Powder. This dish is very simple, easy to cook, and it won’t cost you much, yet it is delicious and nutritious. …
On a cold winter day like today, a comforting soup with crusty bread would be perfect. This Chicken Soup is cooked with loads of Vegetables and slightly thickened with Split Lentils, that adds extra nutrients to the soup. I served this soup with ‘No-Knead Simple White Bread’. So good. Everyone was happy. Makes 4 Servings …
