Yesterday my daughter gave me a loaf of Raisin Bread, which was already quite stale. It is actually perfect for ‘Bread Pudding’, but I am too tired to make it. And as always, once I started thinking about ‘Bread Pudding’, the craving kicked in and I couldn’t stop it. The easiest solution is always Mug …
These juicy Chicken Patties are made with Chicken Breast Fillets cut into thin strips OR small dice. Texture if much better than the Patties made with Chicken Mince. Today I used 600g Chicken Breast Fillets that were already sliced for stir-fry. My hungry husband and son came to kitchen, and couldn’t resist tasting some. A …
Thinly sliced and seasoned Kombu (Kelp), that is called ‘Shio Kombu’ (塩昆布) in Japanese, can be used as a seasoning. This dish is very similar to my ‘Kombu (Kelp), Wombok & Tuna Salad’, but I didn’t use Salt for this dish. It is seasoned with the Kombu and Sesame Oil only. It can be a …
I had a small Banana that had turned brown. It was a perfect Banana to make a Banana Cake, but 1 small one was not enough. Once I thought about Banana Cake, I couldn’t stop the craving for Banana Cake. The solutions is Mug Cake. Absolutely quick and easy. It took me less than 5 …
As I had a small amount of leftover Roast Chicken, I made this Vietnamese inspired noodle salad for lunch today. I used Capellini (Angel Hair Pasta), an Italian Pasta. You can use Rice Vermicelli OR Japanese ‘Somen’ Noodles instead, but I love Capellini the best. Because I love its texture, it is inexpensive, and easy …
Cook an Omelette and place it on warm cooked Rice, and pour the Sauce over. This dish can be made with Egg and Rice only, but I believe you have something to add to the Omelette. Today I added 1 Spring Onion and 1 Shiitake. Maybe you have Peas, OR Garlic Chives, etc. This is …
When I need to use up leftover Egg White(s), I usually make Egg White Biscuits. I make a large one and break OR cut it into small pieces. The recipe is easy to remember. You need same weight of Egg White(s), Butter, Sugar and Flour. To make this ‘Kinako’ (Finely Ground Roasted Soy Beans) version, …
If you haven’t used Iceberg Lettuce for soup, you should try. You use Nori only to make Sushi Rolls? You can use it for soup as well. This is a very simple soup made with those. Iceberg Lettuce retains its crispy texture after cooked. Nori must be toasted. If your Nori doesn’t smell good, toast …
Is this another type of Magic Cake? I was trying to recreate a Lemon Custard Cake that I saw on the internet. I used my own cake batter, but I realised it was too thick for what I was trying to make. And the Custard was too much and it covered the batter completely. I …
The other day, I made ‘Choc Ripple Biscuit & Ricotta Dessert’, and it seemed my husband didn’t like it. He said it was grainy, and Cream would taste better than Ricotta. So I made this dessert today, using up all leftover Arnott’s Choc Ripple Biscuits. The whipped Cream was flavoured with Mint Syrup that I …
I often make these Chicken Bites using Shiso. However, Shiso is not easy to find for many people. It is impossible for me to buy it from stores, so I grow Shiso at home. Anyway, this recipe is easy for everyone because it uses Basil, dry OR fresh. Today I used Dry Basil, but you …
When I cook Shiitake and Konnyaku (Konjac), I season them with the Japanese staple seasonings that are Sugar, Soy Sauce and Mirin, just like ‘Simmered Konnyaku (Konjac) & Shiitake’. Today I added Garlic, Toban Djan (Chilli Bean Sauce) and Sesame Oil. The flavour of the dish was so different. I cooked them until the Sauce …
