I have Garlic Chives growing in the garden and also in a pot. This plant is very tough and never dies. It just spreads and grows. Today I picked some and cooked with Pork Mince. I often season with Oyster Sauce, but I used Gochujang (Korean Spicy Miso) and Soy Sauce today. It was a …
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 …
Cherry Jam can be made with canned Pitted Cherries. The other day, when I needed Cherry Jam to make a dessert, the Cherry Jam left in the jar was not enough. Someone must have eaten it. I didn’t want to drive to a store, I made jam with a can of Pitted Cherries as I …
You can create something similar to Pizza using a frying pan, quickly and easily, and more energy efficiently. Today I cooked thinly sliced Onion and Bacon with a little Oil, then cover with some shredded Cheese and a Flatbread, and cooked until nicely browned. Very simple. You only need a non-stick frying pan. If your …
I am a big fan of Tom Yum soups, particularly ‘Tom Yum Goong’. I don’t cook it at home as I usually don’t have ingredients such as Lemongrass and Kaffir Lime Leaves. So it is a restaurant food for me, though I often find it too spicy. This is my recipe to make a similar …
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, …
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 …
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 …
This is a very Japanese dish of Kombu (Kelp) that is seasoned with Japanese staple seasonings, Sugar, Mirin and Soy Sauce. Kombu is cooked with Shiitake and Bamboo Shoot. I added Katsuobushi (Bonito Flakes) as well. You may know that Kombu, Katsuobushi and Dried Shiitake are often used to make Dashi Stock. This dish is …
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 …
This is another super quick & easy soup that you can cook with Dry ‘Harusame’ Noodles, aka ‘Bean Vermicelli’ OR ‘Thread Noodles’. I love to add ‘Harusame’ to soups as it makes the soups more filling and just one bowl of soup can be a meal. Today I added Pearl Barley as well, but already …
I love the chewy texture of Barley. I often add it to soups and salads. The tricky part of using Barley for soups and salads is that it takes quite a long time to cook Barley. That’s why I often cook a large batch of Barley, and store the Cooked Barley in the fridge OR …
