It seems my family members have been enjoying 100% Oats Bread. Today I added Apple and Sultana Raisins, and made it slightly sweeter. The ingredients of this bread are almost identical to the Porridge that I eat for breakfast. Just mix all ingredients and pour into a lined loaf tin, then leave it in a …
I sometimes crave Sushi. If you have Cooked Rice, Ricer Vinegar, Sugar and Salt, it is quite easy to make Sushi Rice. Cover it with your favourite ingredients. Today I made this simple Sushi Rice Bowl for lunch and it didn’t take long to prepare. I added Tuna, which I always stock, Egg and Avocado. …
This is a variation of my Jumbo ‘Chawanmushi’ (Savoury Custard). I used mince type Soy Protein for this vegetarian version, but you can use Chicken Mince OR Pork Mince instead. ‘Chawanmushi’ (Savoury Custard Soup) is a popular Japanese dish, but many people don’t try to cook it because they believe it is too hard. There …
It’s hard to believe for me, but there are many bottled Teriyaki Sauce products in Australia, and the flavours of those sauces are often very different from what I know as Teriyaki. I am Japanese and I know what Teriyaki is. Teriyaki sauce can be easily made with three Japanese seasoning staples, that are Sugar, …
The other day, when I was cooking ‘Ukrainian Inspired Cabbage Pancakes’ again, as I am loving them, I thought I could make sweet pancakes in the same way using Apple, then I tried. I used Granny Smith Apple. A lot of juice came out from it and made the batter very runny. I didn’t squeeze …
I have shared quite a few dishes similar to this dish. You cook ingredients in Dashi Stock seasoned with Mirin and Soy Sauce, sometimes with Sugar for extra sweetness, then bind the ingredients with Egg. In the region I grew up, Fishcakes such as ‘Kamaboko’ OR ‘Chikuwa’, that are made from Surimi (fish paste), are …
I wanted to make 100% Oats Bread and I looked for recipes. There are not many recipes for Oats Bread that can be made without Wheat Flour. I tried a recipe but it was a very dodgy one and the dough turned like clay. That failure inspired me to make my own recipe for 100% …
I rarely make Pizza at home, but I make Flammkuchen very often. Flammkuchen is not well known in Melbourne where I live. It’s a pity people don’t know about it. Flammkuchen is sometimes called ‘German Pizza’ and it is quite easy to make at home. Toppings can be anything. Today I made slightly sweet one …
When you want to make a meal using Cooked Udon, but you are too tired OR too busy to cook, try this dish. Super quick and easy to make. It’s not just carbs, as Egg Yolk and Spring Onion are in it. At least, it will satisfy your hunger as it is filling and absolutely …
Daikon & Carrot ‘Namasu’ is a very simple Japanese salad, that is often prepared for New Year celebration because of the joyful red & white colours. I often crave it when I am physically tired. Normally I use Rice Vinegar to make this salad, but I used White Wine Vinegar today, and added Dried Cranberries. …
Spring has arrived in Melbourne. Flowers are coming out. If I were in Japan, I should be able to see Bamboo shoots are coming out, too. Fresh Bamboo Shoots are seasonal delicacy and I would love to enjoy them in spring. But I can’t have Fresh Bamboo Shoots where I live. Today I purchased already …
There is a cake called ‘Mont Blanc Cake’ in Japan. This cake means a lot to me because I have a very special memory about it. Every time when I think about it, I become emotional. When I want to make ‘Mont Blanc Cake’, I purchase a jar of Sweetened Chestnut Paste, and always end …
