There are some foods that I crave when weather is getting warm. ‘Sushi’ is one of them, and ‘South East Asian flavoured Salad’ is another. This Rice Noodle Salad with Fish Sauce Dressing is perfect for the craving. Today I added Prawns, but Chicken is also good. Makes 2 Servings Ingredients 2 servings Rice Vermicelli2 …
‘Brownies’ is a delicious cake but it is not quick & easy to make. If it is just for you, Mug Brownie is a good option. It tastes great and it takes no more than 5 minutes to make it. Very energy efficient. I thought it would taste better when cooled, but I couldn’t wait. …
This dish is basically Teriyaki Chicken, and I added Sweet Potatoes that I steamed. You can cook them in your favourite method. And today I used Japanese Sweet Potatoes, that have silky texture and superior flavour. However, the most common orange coloured Sweet Potatoes can be used. I added a little bit of Chilli to …
I made Black Forest Cake for my son’s birthday and there was some leftover whipped Cream. To use up leftover whipped Cream, I often make ‘Instant Chocolate Mousse’. This is another good way to use up leftover whipped Cream. Mix about same amount of whipped Cream and Greek Yoghurt, sweeten the mixture as you like, …
When I make Sago (Seed Tapioca) Pudding set in mould(s), I always add some Gelatine as well, so that the pudding won’t fail. If set in serving glasses, Gelatine is unnecessary as the pudding can be soft. That’s what I learned when I made ‘Pineapple Sago Pudding’. Today I made this tropical flavoured Coconut Milk …
Beans are not expensive and nutritious. As food prices soar, it might be a good idea to start eating more Beans. This is a super simple salad of Beans. I added a small can of Tuna as well. Chickpeas and other Beans can be used, but I used Cannellini (White Beans). You may wish to …
‘Takikomigohan’ is a Japanese dish of Rice that is cooked with other ingredients and seasonings. I have used a variety of Canned Fish to cook ‘Takikomigohan’, but never used Kippers. So, I tried. I concerned about the smoky flavour of Kippers, but it was fine. This is another yummy ‘Takikomigohan’ that you can cook with …
Melbourne, where I live, has a very large Greek population. Actually Greek community of Melbourne is the largest Greek-speaking population outside of Greece and Cyprus. And Greek Food is hugely popular here. This is my Greek Salad that I often make. As I always add salty Fetta and Olives, I season the salad very lightly. …
Greek Food is hugely popular in Melbourne where I live. A local Greek restaurant called ‘Nikos Tavern’ is where I first came across the amazing Greek cuisine. Greek Salad is always seasoned very simply, yet really tasty because of the amazing Fetta and Kalamata Olives. This is the simple dressing that I often make. Makes …
This is a variation of my ‘Cauliflower Curry Mayo Cheese Bake’. Instead of Curry spices, I added 1 small can of Tuna. For this dish, I recommend to pre-cook Cauliflower slightly, so that texture of Cauliflower is nicer with the mixture of Tuna and Mayonnaise. How to cook? Its’ your choice. I steamed it today. …
This is a variation of my ‘Cold Ramen Noodle Salad’. Salad ingredients can be placed on top of noodles decoratively, but they can be mixed with the noodles like this one. Today I used Soba Noodles instead of Ramen Noodles. Rice Noodles are also good. This type of noodle salad dish is something I want …
This is a typical Japanese home-cooked dish. It is quite popular, I often cook it, but probably you have never seen it as you won’t come across a dish like this at Japanese restaurants. Use Pork Belly for this dish, so that Kombu absorbs its fat and ‘umami’. You need to simmer until Kombu is …
