I am not really good with spicy food. Chilli triggers severe sweating to me. This soup looks very spicy, doesn’t it? I actually added quite a bit of Gochujang (Korean Spicy Miso) to this soup, and of course Kimchi as well. It is spicy, but the spiciness is comforting and warming. This is an absolutely …
‘Mazegohan’ is a Japanese dish of Rice. Rice and other ingredients are cooked separately and mixed together after they are cooked, however, you don’t need to cook anything to make this dish if you have already cooked Rice. You can make it into a rice bowl, just place the Sardine mixture on warm cooked Rice. …
When I cook Pork for a rice bowl like ‘Buta Don’, I usually season Pork with Soy Sauce. Today I didn’t use Soy Sauce. Instead, I used Lemon Juice and Salt for this one. It was delicious. I resisted the temptation to add Soy Sauce, but a little bit of Soy Sauce OR Fish Sauce …
I wanted to make Ceviche for a long time since I enjoyed it at my brother-in-law’s house, but I just couldn’t find fresh Fish fillets that were suitable for Ceviche. Then yesterday, my family enjoyed a special Japanese dinner of Sushi and Sashimi, that we bought from a Japanese take away shop, for our wedding …
I have been wanting to make ‘Mont Blanc Cake’ and looking for Sweet Chestnut Paste at various stores, but I couldn’t find it. Canned Sweet Chestnut Paste is available for online purchase, but it is very expensive. Then I realised that almost all Asian grocery stores sell Roasted & Peeled Chestnuts, and I can make …
This is the Tomato based Pizza Sauce that I often make. As I always stock Tomato Paste in my pantry, this sauce is easy to make for me. I think it is slightly sweeter than store-bought Pizza Sauce as I add some Sugar. The flavour can be altered as you like. I hope this recipe …
Since I saw this dish on the internet, I have been craving it as I love Peas. I have been hoping to use Fresh Peas, but they are not in season. Today I used Frozen Peas and they were just good enough. There was no recipe, so I just tried to recreate it. Whoever invented …
The other day I saw bags of Rocky Road being sold at an extortionate price. Rocky Road is a popular treat, particularly for Christmas OR Halloween seasons, and it is ABSOLUTELY EASY to make. Chocolate and Marshmallows are the main ingredients. You can add anything extra you like. Cake Tin 20cm to 22cm Square Cake …
This is a variation of my ‘Simple Yoghurt & Lemon Cake’. I added canned Pineapple to it. As I used more Yoghurt for this cake, it is very moist and has cheesecake-like texture. This cake is easy to make, and a regular size tin of Pineapple Slices is enough for the cake, but you could …
This dish is very similar to my ‘Garlic Chilli Prawns & Egg Rice Bowl’, but it is quicker and easier version for single serving, which I often cook for myself. The mixture of Egg and Prawns can’t go wrong in any flavours. I sometimes add Tomato to this dish, but today I added Kimchi. Using …
There is a traditional Japanese steamed cake called ‘Uirō’ (ういろう), that is made of Flour and Sugar. Finely ground Rice Flour, Glutinous Rice Flour, Wheat Flour and Starch are commonly used, but there are many different recipes in regions, and textures and flavours are all different. My favourite flavour is Azuki. I would never think …
My favourite Korean dish is Beef Bibimbap. It’s not a quick and easy dish to prepare, but this one is absolutely easy. I cooked it like ‘Takikomigohan’, a Japanese dish of rice that is cooked with other ingredients and seasonings. Just place the ingredients in the rice cooker’s inner pot and press the button to …
