I bought a new tub of Gochujang (Korean Spicy Miso) to cook ‘Topokki’ the other day. Now I need to use Gochujang. ‘Dak-galbi’ is another popular Korean dish. As my family members are very sensitive to the spiciness of Gochujang, I added only 2 tablespoons today, but it was quite hot for us. If you …
Stir-fried Tomato, Pork & Egg is a dish I repeatedly cook. We always eat it with freshly cooked Rice, so I made it into a rice bowl. Sweet ripe Tomatoes in season are the best, but I often use not-so-great Tomatoes for stir-fries. When Tomatoes are sour, a little bit of Sugar improves the flavour. …
In Japan, there is a super quick & easy dish called ‘Tamago Gohan’, that means ‘Egg Rice’. You just add a raw Egg and a little bit of Soy Sauce to hot Rice in a rice bowl, then mix it. The Egg would be slightly cooked by the heat. Nothing can be easier than this, …

I often add Chicken OR Pork to this type of Glutinous Rice dish, but making it Vegan is easy. I used Abura-age (Fried Thin Tofu) for this Vegan version. It’s a good source of protein and a wonderful flavour comes out of it. I added Edamame as well, so this dish contains plenty of protein. …
In Australia, there is a Chinese-inspired dumpling-style food called ‘Dim Sim’. Mini Dim Sims, the small version of it, are the same food as ‘Shumai’.

I recently discovered some Tofu Skin (Bean Curd Skin) products can be used as noodles. Some products might be too soft, but the Chinese Bean Curd Sticks I purchased have firmer texture. When the twisted sticks are rehydrated and softened, they can be cut into noodles. These noodles can be a life saver for those …
