    Crab Meat & Egg Rice Soup

  • Beef Donburi (Rice Bowl)

    Star Anise Gyū Don

    ‘Gyū Don’ is one of Japan’s most popular rice bowl dishes. In Melbourne where I live, since local supermarkets started selling thinly sliced Beef, it has become easy for me to cook Gyū Don.

    I made this Lemon Cake for someone who is allergic to some flours. As I was not sure which flour was OK, it was best to use no flour at all. This is Almond Meal 100% cake. If the person was allergic to dairy, I could omit Butter. This is a very moist delicious cake. …

    Black Fungus & Cucumber Namul

    I know some people are not happy this black edible fungus is called ‘Black Fungus’. Jelly Mushroom sounds better, but it misrepresents what this fungus is as its texture is so different from many mushrooms. I call it ‘Black Fungus’ as it is called so in Melbourne where I live. This is a Korean inspired …

    Mackerel Fried Rice

    Mackerel is my favourite fish and I particularly love John West’s canned Mackerel in Brine. Anything with the Mackerel in it is delicious to me, though my husband says it smells fishy. So I cooked this Mackerel Fried Rice just for me. This is a very simple fried rice, quick and easy, and absolutely delicious. …
