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 …
There are three commonly used ingredients to season Japanese dishes, and they are Sugar, Soy Sauce and Mirin. They are the essentials in my kitchen. This is a very simply stir-fried Beef & Onion seasoned with Sugar, Soy Sauce and Mirin. This is the flavour I grew up with and I always love. I added …
This recipe has been inspired by a Cuban rice dish, ‘Arroz Congri’. I cooked it in my rice cooker just like Japanese ‘Takikomigohan’, so it is super easy to cook. The colour of the dish is supposed to be darker, but the liquid from the can of Black Beans that I used was not really …
This is a very simple dish of Kombu (Kelp) that is seasoned with the Japanese staple seasonings, Soy Sauce, Sugar and Mirin. ‘Abura-age’ (Fried Thin Tofu) adds the deepness in the flavour because of its Oil. This dish does not look amazing, but it tastes really yummy. Enjoy it with freshly cooked Rice. Makes 4 …
I received a message from a person who saw my ‘Kara-age’ Fried Chicken Gizzards recipe. She and her dog love Chicken Gizzards but she has never cooked Chicken Gizzards like I do. I asked her how she normally cooks Chicken Gizzards. She says she washes them first, then coat with seasoned flour and fry them. …
The other day, I saw a video of a woman grilling Rice Paper over hot charcoal and making something that looked absolutely yummy. It seems it was a popular Vietnamese street food. I tried to recreate a similar thing using a frying pan. The essentail ingredients are Rice Paper and Egg, then you can add …
Chicken Gizzards (Giblets) are very cheap, but not many people cook them. You can find recipes on the internet, and many of them require to remove silver coloured parts from Gizzards because they are very tough. I don’t want to do that with my aching hands. I pre-boil them, so that all parts can be …
Pan-fried Pork and Egg can be a great dish. As I always eat it with freshly cooked Rice, I made it into a rice bowl today. The sauce I used today was one of my favourites, a mixture of Soy Sauce and Oyster Sauce. It’s super easy to make. I often add a small amount …
Here is another simple stir-fry dish that you can try. I like to use Chicken Breast Fillet for this dish, but you can use Thigh Fillet OR Tenderloins instead. Pork OR Beef can be used. You might be familiar with the flavour of this stir-fry as many Chinese takeaway stores sell dishes in this flavour. …
Pan-fried Sausage and Egg, you may wish to eat it with toasted Bread OR fried Potato. It is actually nice with Rice, too. You can enjoy this Rice Bowl with any sauce you like, but I have found Curry Sauce is the best. You don’t want to cook Curry Sauce just for this dish. Try …
There is a Japanese ‘Mazegohan’ dish called ‘Nappa Gohan’, which is also called ‘Nameshi’ (菜飯). It is a dish of Rice mixed with Green Leafy Vegetable, that can be Daikon Radish leaves OR Turnip leaves. ‘Komatsuna’ is also popularly used. The Green Leafy Vegetable is blanched OR stir-fried, seasoned, and mixed with freshly cooked Rice. …
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 …
