I have seen this ‘Cucumber & Radish Salad’ in many photos taken in Ukraine, and I did a little bit of research about the common ingredients of it. I am confident this salad is quite close to the ‘Cucumber & Radish Salad’ that many Ukrainian people make. It is very refreshing and delicious. Makes 4 …
‘Harusame Salad’ is one of the most popular summer dishes among my family members. This is a spicy version of it as I add Toban Djan (Chilli Bean Sauce) to the dressing. Lean Chicken is more suitable than Ham to this spicy salad. You can serve this dish with freshly cooked Rice, but this dish …
Last several days I have been using up the frozen food in the freezer because I wanted to empty the freezer to defrost it. It was nearly empty today, but I still had half a bag of Sweet Corn Kernels. I added all of them to this Coleslaw, and the Coleslaw was surprisingly yummy. I …
Compared to ‘Onigiri’ (Japanese Rice Ball) that is shaped into a ball or a triangle by hands, ‘Onigirazu’ is shaped into a flat square and wrapped with Nori. This new food has no rule at all about the filling. Today I used leftover Sushi Rice to make this delicious Smoked Salmon ‘Onigirazu’. Creamy Cheese and …
On a hot summer day, what I want to eat is something cold such as cold noodles. Today I mixed Green Tea Soba Noodles with Salad Vegetables. I love to eat it with Mentsuyu (Japanese Noodle Dipping Sauce). I added Avocado, which instantly elevated the dish to next level. Avocado matches well with the Soy …
It is a custom for Japanese to eat Noodles, often Soba Noodle Soup, on New Year’s Eve, as the Noodles symbolise ‘longevity’. On the last day of 2021, a heatwave hit Melbourne where I live, and the temperature was 39℃. Hot Noodle Soup was not suitable. I cooked this ‘Cold Pork Salad Udon’. Makes 2 …
This salad is so good and I can’t stop eating it. 200g Iceberg Lettuce torn into bite-size pieces might look far too much for 4 servings, but you need it. You might wish if you had made more. It is yummy and addictive. Makes 4 Servings Ingredients 200g Iceberg Lettuce *torn into bite-size pieces1 Avocado …
Are you tired of the same Coleslaw? Do you want to try a new flavour? Try my ‘Creamy Sesame Dressing’ instead of the ordinary Coleslaw Dressing. It might be a totally new cabbage salad for you. My ‘Creamy Sesame Dressing’ goes so well with many salad vegetables, and it makes a yummy coleslaw. Makes 4 …
Definitely this is one of my TOP 3 Salad Dressings. You might have seen bottles of this salad dressing at Asian grocery stores. It is very popular in Japan. I use it often and my family loves it. It’s very easy to make at home. Makes 4 Servings Ingredients 2 tablespoons Toasted Sesame Seeds *ground3 …
I was making ‘My Creamy Caesar Dressing’ today. Suddenly an idea came to me and I happened to add Soy Sauce instead of Worcestershire Sauce. I was just curious, but I knew it would taste OK. The result was not OK, but really good. Now I want to share this recipe with you. Makes 4 …
I had a bunch of fresh Dill and I needed to use it soon. You can use quite a lot of Dill for this salad. I recommend to cook Potatoes VERY soft, so that you would partially mash them when you are mixing with other ingredients. You can add Ham and Carrot to this salad …
This is another super easy Tuna dish that is delicious, nutritious and inexpensive. Please use Japanese Short Grain Rice. I used to make this Rice Bowl dish using unseasoned Rice, but Sushi Rice definitely tastes better. Makes 1 Serving Ingredients Sushi Rice200g cooked Japanese Short Grain Rice *should be hot2 teaspoons Sugar3 teaspoons Rice Vinegar1/5 …
