Here is another super easy dish that you can make with a small can of Tuna. If you have already cooked Rice, you don’t need to cook anything. Just mix Tuna with a sauce, and enjoy with the Rice. This recipe includes two different sauces, ‘Chilli & Oyster Sauce’ and ‘Gochujang & Garlic Sauce’. Both …
When you want to cook something that is new to you, you probably try to use it for the dishes that are familiar to you. I tried to use ‘Yuba’ (Tofu Skin) for ‘Goma-ae’, a Japanese dish of vegetables dressed with sweet sesame seed sauce. I cook ‘Goma-ae’ very often and you can find many …
The other day, when I wanted to eat ‘Abura-age & Carrot Takikomigohan’, that is one of my favourite ‘Takikomigohan’ dishes, but I didn’t have ‘Abura-age’ (Fried Thin Tofu), I decided to use ‘Yuba’ (Tofu Skin) instead. ‘Yuba’ is very different from ‘Abura-age’, but both are made from Soy Beans. So, I tried to cook it …
I have shared some recipes for Matcha Jelly Desserts on this website, but this is certainly the easiest one. It is Vegan friendly as you use Corn Starch as a gelling agent. It is delicious as it is, but you may wish to enjoy it with whipped Cream, Matcha Syrup, Condensed Milk, Sweet Azuki Paste, …
The other day, I saw Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies that can be made with Peanut Butter only. It reminded me an old recipe that I wrote when I tried to make ‘ANZAC Biscuits’ with Peanut Butter. The biscuits were too heavy and too overwhelming, and I gave up on the recipe. I tried the old …
There is a Chinese stir-fry dish of Beef, Capsicum and Bamboo Shoot. This is my Chicken version of it. Thinly sliced Chicken Breast is best suitable for this stir-fry. Bamboo Shoot is essential. Canned Bamboo Shoot is available from Asian Grocery stores and many supermarket stores. It doesn’t take long to cook thinly sliced Chicken …
Rubbery Udon Noodles can go well with many different flavours. Today I cooked Beef Stroganoff using leftover Beef and Sour Cream, and added Udon Noodles to it. It was a surprisingly good match. Pickled Cucumber is absolutely recommended as I always add it to my ‘Super Easy Beef Stroganoff’. If you don’t have Udon Noodles, …
There are many different Candied Roasted Nuts in the world. Japan has Muscovado Candied Roasted Soy Beans. I am a huge fan of ‘Almond Toffee’. They are dangerous foods, but I love them all. Peanut Brittle is super easy to make and you don’t need special ingredients. Well, some recipes require ingredients that most people …
I have shared a variety of super easy dishes that you can cook with a can of Tuna. Here is a new one! The other day, when I had a cold, I wanted to eat Rice Soup, but we had run out of Rice! I couldn’t believe it. I only found Italian Arborio Rice. The …
Sadly it was the war in Ukraine that introduced me Sunflower Oil. When I started my challenge to cook Ukrainian dishes and cakes, I started using Sunflower Oil and I fell in love with it. I often use it for cakes lately. Sunflower Oil makes the cakes soft and the cakes stay soft when cold. …
It looks like Egg, but it is ‘Yuba’ (Tofu Skin). When Soy Milk is heated, a protein rich film (skin) is composed on the surface. The film is called ‘Yuba’ in Japan. Fresh ‘Yuba’ is not available in Melbourne where I live, but Chinese Dried ‘Yuba’ is available from many Asian grocery stores. It is …
A few weeks ago, I bought Kiwi Fruit that were on special. Kiwi Fruit were not in season, but they were very cheap. I bought some and it was not a good purchase. They were too sour to eat. I kept them with Apples and Bananas expecting they would get soft and sweet. They became …
