In Japan, most commonly Sausages are used for this fried rice dish, but I use any protein that I have in hand. This time I used a thick slice of Ham. Curry Powder that I use is a quite spicy one. You may wish to add more or less, but do not forget the Soy …
This ‘Prawn & Egg Fried Rice’ is not a particularly special dish, but I like lettuce leaves in it. Many people do not cook lettuce. Why don’t you try cooking lettuce? The crispy lettuce adds a fantastic texture to the fried rice. Cos lettuce or Iceberg lettuce are recommended. Makes 2 Servings Ingredients 100g Prawns1/2 …
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 …
Since I saw a video of someone cooking Chicken Mince wrapped with Rice Paper, I have thought about trying it many times, but I haven’t. Because the process of wetting and softening the Rice Paper was bothering me as I am quite lazy. Today I sandwiched the Chicken Mince with DRY Rice Paper, and pan-fried …
My ‘Soy Sauce Rice’ is delicious as it is, but ‘Abura-age’ (Fried Thin Tofu) can add extra flavour and Umami to it. ‘Abura-age’ might be too difficult for you to find. Fried Tofu called ‘Tofu Puff’ is a very similar food and it is easier to find as many Asian grocery stores sell it. You …
Fried Tofu is available from many Asian grocery stores. In Melbourne where I live, many supermarkets sell it. Fried Tofu has firm and crunchy outside, and it is suitable for many dishes. Today I cooked this rice bowl, similar to my ‘Scrumptious Chicken & Egg Rice Bowl’. It’s a vegetarian dish that is high in …
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 …
