When I have 1 Egg White to use up, I most likely make ‘Langues de Chat’ Biscuits, but in an easy way. I sometimes add Almond Flakes OR Pepitas. When I need to use up 1 Egg Yolk, there are some choices. ‘Microwave 1 Egg Yolk Custard’ is one option, and this is another. These …
The other day, I was thinking of what to cook for my vegan friends. Then an idea came to me. Marinate Fried Tofu with my ‘Char Siu’ Sauce, which I am very proud of, then bake it in the oven. ‘It would be super easy and delicious,’ I thought. Today I tried to cook it. …
One of my favourite ‘Takikomigohan’, a Japanese dish of Rice that is cooked with other ingredients and seasonings, is ‘Asian Mushroom Takikomigohan’ and I use a variety of Asian Mushrooms.

The combination of Garlic, Butter and Soy Sauce is absolutely delicious, and I cook many dishes in this flavour including Gnocchi. This is a very popular Chicken dish. Other meat and fish can also be cooked in the same way. I enjoyed it with Rice today, but it is also nice with Pasta OR Potato. …

Summer in Japan, where I grew up, is very hot and humid. When I was a child, shaved ice with colourful syrup was a treat on a hot summer day. However, I don’t enjoy it these days. First of all, I don’t have an ice shaver and I can’t make it at home. But the …
A dish that was cooked by a friend of mine, her name is Shelley, inspired me to cook this salad. Shelley used a variety of Root Vegetables and more ingredients including Pepitas and Pine Nuts. Today I tried to cook something similar using limited ingredients I had, and it was not bad at all. This …
Every now and then I crave this type of Glutinous Rice dish, and eat it too much every time I cook it. It is my absolute favourite food. I usually cook it with Chicken, but today I used Pork. I definitely like slightly sweeter flavour for the Pork version and I added 1 teaspoon Sugar, …
‘Bread & Butter Pudding’ is one of my husband’s favourite winter desserts. It is not hard to make, but some fiddly work is required such as buttering the bread slices. I even spread Apricot Jam, then cut the slices, arrange them in a baking dish, etc. This recipe is much easier. Bread can be Hot …
