I used to make these doughnuts with finely grated Carrot only. When I added some leftover canned crushed Pineapple, which I always add to ‘My Legendary Carrot Cake’, the flavour was improved and I liked it very much. Then I started adding Pineapple. Carrot only version is also very nice. If you use just Carrot, …
You won’t add Noodles to a soup if you want to make the soup low in calories. However, you can add Konjac Noodles, that is called ‘Shirataki’ OR ‘Ito-Konnyaku’ in Japanese, because they are mostly water and dietary fibre, and extremely low in calories. This soup is packed with a variety nutrients, low in calories, …
There are very many different recipes for Toffee. Some recipes require a lot of ingredients. I use Sugar and Butter to make Toffee, but I always add Almonds. You can use other nuts such as Pecans, Walnuts OR Peanuts. I don’t want to make a huge amount, because this Toffee is high in calories and …
I used to purchase Frozen Fish Fingers for my children regularly when they were young. My children loved Fish Fingers and they made a quick & easy meal. Sometimes I had leftovers, which didn’t taste good next day. This is what I used to cook using those leftover Fish Fingers. A typical Japanese rice bowl …
This is the most simple Stewed Beef & Vegetables, I suppose. Today I had some chuncky cuts of Beef for casserole, and I wanted to cook something very light.

I used Frozen Mixed Berries, but you can use Blueberries OR other Fruit, that are made into thick sauce OR puree. Makes 4 Servings Ingredients 1 …
Since I invented ‘Gochujang Mackerel Rice Bowl’, I have been making it frequently. I actually don’t need to cook anything if I had already cooked Rice. Because it is so easy and delicious, I made a Udon Noodle version today. I recommend to add an Egg to this dish. Egg can be boiled, poached OR …
When I was a child, my family’s breakfast was Bread and Hot Drink. Some mornings, when my mother realised we didn’t have enough Bread, she often made steamed Bread. If she’d had a rice cooker that cooks Cake, she would have used it. This Carrot Bread was cooked in the rice cooker. The top side …
I am a big fan of Lemon Curd Slice, but Lemon Curd contains a large amount of Butter and you need a lot of Lemon Juice to make it. This ‘Lemon Squares’ tastes almost the same but much lighter, and you can make it with just 1 Lemon. This is a very easy recipe. You …
Rice Soup is a good way to use up leftover Cooked Rice, particularly Cooked Rice that is cold and hard. Today I used canned diced Tomatoes, but if you have the harvest from your garden, please use fresh ripe Tomatoes, and the soup will be beautiful. You can add the Cooked Rice to any soup, …
This is one of the soups that I was cooking for my husband when he was eating a low-calorie soup every day for health reasons. I use no starchy vegetables, but you may wish to add Potato, which is surprisingly low in calories. I recommend to add a few drops Sesame Oil for flavour and …
