I sometimes bake Cookies and Cakes for the staff members of a tool shop where my husband works. Some of the members are with gluten intolerance. I made these Cookies for them. I used finely ground Rice Flour, that is widely available from Asian grocery stores. It is much cheaper than Gluten-Free Flour, that is …
This is another super quick and easy dish that is perfect for my lunch. Today I used leftover Beef Mince, but naturally you can use thinly sliced Beef. Pork is also good. Garlic Chives is garlicky, but I recommend to add Garlic as well. It’s a very simple dish, yet really yummy with Rice. Makes …
‘Ponzu’ is a super versatile sauce and it can be used as a salad dressing, too. I often add a small amount of Oil to it. Add Ginger (OR Garlic if you prefer), Onion and Toasted Sesame Seeds as well for extra flavours. Because I always have a bottle of ‘Ponzu’, this dressing is super …
I looked for recipes for Quick Pickled Red Onion and I was disappointed with all of them. I don’t want to use a lot of Vinegar to pickle just 1 Onion. I don’t want to wait for several hours. Then, I ended up making this Instant Pickled Red Onion using a typical Japanese vinaigrette ‘Amazu’, …
My ‘Coffee Chocolate Fondant’ is super easy as I bake the batter in the ramekins. It doesn’t have to look perfect as it tastes good. Today I baked it for 30 minutes as I like the batter softly cooked through. If you want the inside gooey (undercooked), please reduce the cooking time. The flavour of …
Salmon Sashimi (uncooked Salmon slices) can be enjoyed with Soy Sauce and a little bit of Wasabi, and that’s the most popular way to enjoy it. But, do you know Salmon Sashimi goes really well with Kimchi? Today I added Avocado as well, and made into a rice bowl dish. Makes 1 Serving Ingredients 60 …
More and more Japanese Instant Ramen Noodle products are becoming available in Australia. One of the most popular soup flavours is ‘Tonkotsu’. Do you know the Japanese word ‘Tonkotsu’ means Pork Bones? The soup is based on Pork Bone stock. Today I want to share my favourite way to cook ‘Tonkotsu’ Instant Ramen. It’s a …
Using my ‘Super Easy Puff Pastry’, I made this rustic looking Apple Pie today. You don’t need a pie dish. You form this pie on a piece of baking paper and bake it on a baking sheet or tray. The pie tends to get very crispy bottom. I am very happy with the result. Makes …
I often make Shortcrust Pastry, but I have never wished to bother making Puff Pastry from scratch. I always buy Frozen Puff Pastry from stores, because I believed it would involve a hard work just like making Croissant dough. Then I saw someone making Puff Pastry dough in the way similar to making Scones. Today …
This is a soup that is super easy to prepare, yet the flavour is a complex. It has curry flavour, and it is fruity, spicy, salty, and you can make it sour, too. Today I added leftover Dumpling Wrappers, but you can add Noodles instead. OR you can make the flavour stronger and pour it …
I was a uni student when I first ate the delicious Fruit Sandwich. It was an ordinary sandwich made with Japanese Milk Bread and the filling of whipped cream and fruit. I had never had such a combination before. As Japanese Milk Bread is impossible to find where I live now, I use Brioche Loaf. …
‘Nabe’ (Hot Pot) dish is great for entertaining your friends and family, but it is also great for everyday dinner as it is easy to prepare. I cook it for my family quite often, particularly when the weather is cold. The main ingredient of this ‘Nabe’ is Chicken. I always use Chicken Thigh Fillets and …
