It’s very easy to make at home. Makes 4 Servings Ingredients 2 tablespoons Toasted Sesame Seeds *ground3 …
None of my family members would enjoy this dish, because they hate Wasabi. I like Wasabi and I want the Wasabi flavour of the sauce quite strong. Today I added 2 teaspoons. The spiciness of Wasabi Paste can be fairly mild or quite strong. Please alter the amount to suit your taste. Makes 1 Serving …
This is the same recipe as my ‘White Chocolate & Blueberry Cupcakes’. I simply replaced Blueberries with Blackberries. However, the Blackberries that I used were very large. I didn’t mix them into the batter. I tore them in half, placed them on top, and slightly pushed them into the batter. Makes 12 Cupcakes Ingredients 125g …
I was making ‘My Creamy Caesar Dressing’ today. Suddenly an idea came to me and I happened to add Soy Sauce instead of Worcestershire Sauce. I was just curious, but I knew it would taste OK. The result was not OK, but really good. Now I want to share this recipe with you. Makes 4 …
I made this Fruit Tart for my daughter’s birthday on her request. She changed her mind later and asked for Profiteroles, but I made it anyway. It looks complicated to make, but each element is simple. If you use store-bought Frozen Sweet Flan/Pie Base, it’s really easy to make. Today I used my Basic Shortcrust …
It was my husband who told me about Creamy Tapioca Pudding that many Australians love. I have tried to make it several times following the instruction printed on the package of Tapioca Pearls, and I always burned the bottom of the saucepan. I ended up creating my own Tapioca Milk Jelly. This is Matcha version …

This recipe makes fairly strong Matcha Syrup. Alter the amount of Matcha Powder to suit your taste. Makes 4 Servings Ingredients 1/4 cup Water1/4 cup Catser …

‘Nikujaga’ is simmered Meat (Niku) and Potatoes (Jagaimo). I cook it with a variety of Meat, and my family members love the dish. Soy Sauce, Mirin and Sugar are used to season ‘Nikujaga’, but I added some Curry Powder today. Curry flavour can go quite well with the sweet soy sauce flavour. Makes 4 Servings …
‘Atsu-age’ is the Japanese name for the deep-fried Tofu. Because it has been deep-fried, Tofu has firmer texture and meat-like outside, it is very suitable for stir-fry. Today I seasoned with Sweet Miso Sauce that I often use to season fried Eggplant. Makes 4 Servings Ingredients 500g Atsu-age (Deep-fried Tofu) *medium soft type recommended1 teaspoon …
Since My ‘Pumpkin Doughnuts’ was very successful, I wanted to make similar Doughnuts using pureed Banana. Today I finally had a ripe Banana, I made these Doughnuts in the same way as Pumpkin Doughnuts. This recipe is really versatile. It should work with any other food that is pureed into soft paste. I might try …
When I cook Rice Bowl dishes, I tend to season with Soy Sauce. Today I didn’t use Soy Sauce at all. The creamy sauce is seasoned with Salt & Pepper. It’s very simple, yet so delicious because of the flavour from the Garlic Prawns. It was a brilliant idea to add soft scrambled Egg to …
