Is this another type of Magic Cake? I was trying to recreate a Lemon Custard Cake that I saw on the internet. I used my own cake batter, but I realised it was too thick for what I was trying to make. And the Custard was too much and it covered the batter completely. I …
The other day, I made ‘Choc Ripple Biscuit & Ricotta Dessert’, and it seemed my husband didn’t like it. He said it was grainy, and Cream would taste better than Ricotta. So I made this dessert today, using up all leftover Arnott’s Choc Ripple Biscuits. The whipped Cream was flavoured with Mint Syrup that I …
I often make these Chicken Bites using Shiso. However, Shiso is not easy to find for many people. It is impossible for me to buy it from stores, so I grow Shiso at home. Anyway, this recipe is easy for everyone because it uses Basil, dry OR fresh. Today I used Dry Basil, but you …
When I cook Shiitake and Konnyaku (Konjac), I season them with the Japanese staple seasonings that are Sugar, Soy Sauce and Mirin, just like ‘Simmered Konnyaku (Konjac) & Shiitake’. Today I added Garlic, Toban Djan (Chilli Bean Sauce) and Sesame Oil. The flavour of the dish was so different. I cooked them until the Sauce …
A bowl of Sushi Rice covered with fresh Sashimi pieces is called ‘Kaisen Don’ (海鮮丼) in Japan. In Melbourne where I live, it is not something I can eat whenever I want to eat. It is quite expensive at restaurants. If you can get Sashimi, ‘Kaisen Don’ is not difficult to make at home. Today …
‘Simmered Shiitake’ is not something you come across at Japanese restaurants, but it is a popular food in Japan where I grew up. I often cook a large batch, and enjoy it as a side dish with freshly cooked Rice, OR use it as a filling OR topping for Sushi dishes. With an Egg and …
When I was cleaning my kitchen pantry the other day, I found some leftover Arnott’s Choc Ripple Biscuits that I had totally forgotten about. I decided to mix them with Ricotta Cheese. If you want smoother texture, you can blend the mixture with a stick blender, but I just mixed everything with a spatula. What …
Korean Food has become very popular in Melbourne where I live. There are very many Korean Restaurants. Bulgogi is one of the popular dishes, and local supermarket stores are now selling Bulgogi Sauces. Well… it is not hard to make. I believe my Bulgogi Sauce tastes better than store-bought ones. You need Gochujang (Korean Spicy …
This salad of Wombok and Chicken can be dressed with any salad dressing of your choice, but this ‘Ponzu’ based simple Sesame Dressing is my favourite. You can’t find Ponzu? Don’t give up to try it because it can be easily substituted with Soy Sauce and Rice Vinegar. Makes 1 to 2 servings Ingredients 2 …
This is a dish that I would want to eat on a very hot day. You can use any Long Pasta OR Noodles of your choice, but I like to use Capellini (Angel Hair Pasta) because it can be cooked very quickly. Other than that, you don’t need to cook anything. Just mix all ingredients …
This is a recreation of the salad that I ate at a restaurant in Port Douglas, Queensland. The salad I ate at the restaurant was mostly Wombok and there were some small Roast Pork pieces with salty crackling in it. It cost me nearly $30 and I felt totally ripped off. With the same cost, …
‘Creme Caramel’ is not the easiest dessert to make. BUT, if for 1 serving, ‘Microwave Creme Caramel’ can be made quickly and easily. Today I replaced a half of Milk with Mascarpone, because I wanted to use up a small amount of leftover Mascarpone. I believe you can use Sour Cream OR Double Cream instead. …
