This Japanese rice bowl dish is often served with Wasabi. The sauce is made with Garlic, Butter and Soy Sauce, which is a great combination, and Wasabi matches this sauce. In the western cuisines, Horseradish is often used for Beef dishes. Wasabi has very similar flavour. I definitely enjoy this ‘Beef Steak Don’ with grated …
The sauce made with Garlic, Butter and Soy Sauce is great for Vegetables, Meat, Fish, Seafood, Pasta, Rice OR anything. Today I cooked Asparagus and Squid. I tried to use Oyster Sauce instead of Soy Sauce, and it was also delicious, though Oyster Sauce makes the flavour sweet. This is a very simple stir-fry dish. …
My family loves Sweet & Sour Chicken and we always eat it with freshly cooked Rice. So, today I made it into a rice bowl dish. If you have a bottle of Ponzu, you can use it replacing Soy Sauce and Vinegar. You may wish to add Chilli, Sriracha (Chilli Sauce), Toban Djan (Chilli Bean …
What do you cook with leftover Cooked Rice? ‘Doria’ is my first choice if I cook something for my family. I frequently cook Rice Soup and Fried Rice. This is a new option for leftover Cooked Rice. It is Omelette with melting Cheese on top. You can add bits and pieces of leftovers. I added …
I have some Mint plants in my herb garden and they are growing well even though it’s winter now. I don’t use Mint for cooking very often but I wanted to use those fragrant leaves for something. So, I made this Green Mint Syrup today. The green colour comes from Mint leaves. No artificial ingredients …
I was googling Poppy Seeds recipes, then I came across an image of Biscuits made with Puff Pastry and Poppy Seeds. I happened to have 1 sheet of Butter Puff Pastry and some leftover Sweet Black Sesame Paste. I spread the paste over the pastry sheet, rolled up both sides, and cut into thin pieces, …
It doesn’t happen often as I am quite good at using up Vegetables. However, today I found a head of Broccoli that was in an opaque plastic bag and it had turned yellow. I always cook this soup when I find Broccoli that turned yellow. This is a simple recipe but it is a great …
Black Sesame Paste is available from many supermarkets in Japan, but there is no such a thing where I live now. When I want to use it for cooking, I make it. Using Suribachi & Surikogi (Japanese mortar & pestle), it is not hard to make. If you have a grinder, it could be super …
‘Kinako’ is finely ground Roasted Soy Beans, and it is a popular ingredient for Japanese sweets. I regularly purchase a bag of ‘Kinako’, but it is not easy to use it up. Today I wanted to use up the leftover ‘Kinako’. I baked my ‘Rice Flour Pound Cake’ and replaced 1/2 of Rice Flour with …
Flammkuchen (OR Flammekueche) is not well-known in Australia. Do you know it? I am a big fan of Flammkuchen. Probably I like it more than Italian Pizza and I make it often. I heard that there are some regional variations, but most commonly Sour Cream is used. It’s surprisingly easy to make and it is …
I believe this ‘Canned Salmon & Egg Pie’ tastes better than the pricey Salmon Pie I had at a local cafe. This type of pies are easy to make. You don’t need a pie dish. Using a Canned Salmon and store-bought Frozen Puff Pastry, you would be surprised at how easy it is to make …
Rum Raisins go very well with Cream Cheese as we know Cheesecake with Rum Raisins is delicious. It is good to have a jar of Rum-Steeped Raisins OR Sultanas in the pantry for always. Today I added some Rum-Steeped Sultanas to Cream Cheese Cupcakes. It couldn’t go wrong, could it? Of course cupcakes were delicious. …
