    Easy Sashimi Ceviche

    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 …

    Sweet Chestnut Paste

    I have been wanting to make ‘Mont Blanc Cake’ and looking for Sweet Chestnut Paste at various stores, but it was too difficult to find. Canned Sweet Chestnut Paste is available for online purchase, but they are very expensive. Then I realised that almost all Asian grocery stores sell Roasted & Peeled Chestnuts, and I …

    Pizza Sauce

    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 …

    Peas & Egg

    Since I saw this dish on the internet, I have been craving it as I love Green Peas. I have been hoping to use Fresh Green 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. …

    Pineapple Yoghurt 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 …

  • Azuki (Red Beans)

    Azuki Mochi Cake

    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 …

    Rice Cooker Bibimbap

    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 …

    Bibimbap Sauce

    My favourite Korean dish is Beef Bibimbap. At many Korean restaurants, Bibimbap is often seasoned very lightly and served with Bibimbap Sauce. I like it very much because I can season the dish as strong and spicy as I like it. This Bibimbap Sauce is easy to make. You can alter the ingredients and make …

    Simmered Wombok & Asian Mushrooms

    It seems Wombok is currently in season, and it is cheap and delicious. There are many dishes that you can cook OR make using Wombok, but my favourite is simmered dishes. I love Wombok softly cooked in comforting soup, that is thickened with Potato Starch. Today I added Pork, but you can add Chicken OR …

    Curry Flavoured Chicken Sticks

    This is an easy version of my Curry Flavoured ‘Kara-age’ Fried Chicken. I cooked them in a frying pan. It’s much easier than deep-frying. Breast Fillets, that are cut into thick strips, can be cooked fairly quickly and pan-frying method works fine. Just use a generous amount of Oil to make them crispy. Makes 4 …
