I am going to share a simple but very versatile ‘Spring Onion & Garlic Sauce’. To make the sauce, you need five ingredients that are Spring Onion, Garlic, Sesame Oil, Salt and White Pepper. Depending on the dish you use the sauce for, you can add Vinegar, Lemon/Lime Juice, Sesame Seeds, Soy Sauce or Chilli …
I am writing this recipe for my son and daughter. When they were young, I cooked this Egg-only fried rice quite often because they asked me to cook it. They say it was one of their favourites and they are still fond of it. I always use dried Chopped Chives for this dish, and another …
Grilled ‘Onigiri’ are called ‘Yaki-Onigiri’ (焼きおにぎり) in Japanese. The other day, I saw a plain soy sauce flavoured ‘Yaki-Onigiri’ at a store, and I was amazed at the extortionate price. It can be made easily and cheaply at home. Using my ‘Soy Sauce Rice’ recipe, you can make six ‘Yaki-Onigiri’ using a frying pan. Freeze …
Recently I have been cooking this dish repeatedly. The mixture of Prawns and Onion is supposed to be deep-fried, but I am reluctant to use a lot of oil since the accident I burnt my face with hot oil. I cook it with a generous amount of oil using a frying pan. It’s safe and …
If you have ‘Ham, Egg & Lettuce’, you can make this simple rice bowl. Follow the recipe and stick to it. I am sure you will think the amount of Lettuce is too much, but it is not. The volume of the Lettuce will be reduced significantly when cooked, you might wish if you have …
You may have seen this dish at Chinese take-aways. It is actually a very simple stir-fry. However, because I always use Japanese Soy Sauce, the same dish I cook always looks different and tastes different. Then, I have learned that Dark Soy Sauce is commonly used to season this dish. I bought a small bottle …
When I cook Sushi Rice for a special occasion to entertain our guests, I often end up having some leftover Sushi Rice. Does it happen to you, too? You don’t waste it, do you? Leftover Cooked Rice is often used for Soup OR Fried Rice. Sushi Rice can be used in the same ways. Hot …
The Fish are seasoned with Salt & Pepper, fried and placed on top of the freshly cooked Rice. There are many sauces that go well with the Fish and Rice, but this is my favourite sauce. It is basically stir-fried Vegetables and Asian Mushrooms. Dashi stock is added and seasoned with Japanese staples, Soy Sauce …
This dish is almost identical to my ‘Tofu & Egg Rice Bowl’, but the texture is meat-like and quite different. ‘Abura-age’ is thinly sliced & deep-fried Tofu. It is popularly used for Japanese cooking as a plant-based protein. I like this dish not very sweet, but you may wish to add more Sugar. Makes 2 …
Since Sushi Rolls became very popular in Melbourne where I live, I often come across unique Sushi Rolls. One of my favourites is Chicken ‘Katsu’ Rolls. One day I craved it but I didn’t want to bother making Sushi Rolls, so I made a Sushi Rice Bowl using the same ingredients. Chicken ‘Katsu’ (Fried Crumbed …
The salty Anchovy, Garlic and Olive Oil, what a great combination! Today I stir-fried Cabbage and Onion with those three great things, and made this Frittata, cooked in my rice cooker as always. Absolutely simple. No fancy ingredients are necessary, but it was DELICIOUS!!! I could have added some Parsley. Makes 4 Servings Ingredients About …
Stir-fried anything with Garlic & Chilli is delicious. Today I stir-fried Daikon with Garlic & Chilli, and I added Dried Shelled Shrimps that adds extra Umami to the dish. I used Salt to season it, but you may wish to use Soy Sauce instead, and that would be delicious, too. Makes 2 to 3 Servings …
