Today I made them into Ice …

    Simmered Kombu (Kelp) & Enoki

    This is a variation of Kombu ‘Tsukudani’, which is a very popular food and we Japanese eat it with freshly cooked Rice, but you would never come across it at Japanese restaurants. Today I added Enoki, and this is a dish of Kombu ‘Tsukudani’ and ‘Nametake’ Enoki combined. I love both. If you have Kombu …

    Pork & Garlic Chives Meatballs

    I often cook meatballs in a soup stock. When the meat mixture is soft, it is easier to drop meatballs, using a spoon, into the boiling stock, rather than roll the meatballs by hands and fry them. It’s a very healthy way to cook. You can enjoy cooked meatballs with your favourite sauce, but I …

    Coconut Sago Pudding Dessert

    This is my copy of a dessert that I ate at a restaurant the other day. It was quite dark in the restaurant and my eye sight was not very good, but the dessert looked like this. My copy tastes pretty close to the original, which cost $12. Well, if you make it by yourself, …

    Rice Cooker Fried Rice

    Well… this dish is not fried, so I shouldn’t name it Fried Rice, but it is almost the same as typical Fried Rice. It is extremely easy to prepare if you have a rice cooker. You don’t need to stand in front of hot cooktop. Place everything in the rice cooker’s inner pot and press …

    Easy Focaccia

    I make ‘1-Hour Focaccia’ when I am in hurry. Using the recipe, you really can make yummy thin bread in 1 hour from scratch. However, when I have a little more time, this ‘Easy Focaccia’ tastes nicer and has a better texture. If you want to impress your guests tonight, it’s not too late to …

    Lemon Agar Jelly

    A few days ago, I was given a lot of home-grown organic Lemons, and I have been making Lemon desserts. Today I made a simple jelly. When I make jelly using fresh Lemon Juice, I always use Golden Cup Agar Agar Powder to set the jelly. Most Asian grocery stores sell it. This vegetarian dessert …
