Makes 4 Servings Ingredients 1 head …
Since my crust-less ‘Easy Quiche’ was perfectly cooked in my rice cooker, I have been cooking a variety of foods in the rice cooker. If ‘Quiche’ works, the ‘Frittata’ should work. Pre-cooking can be done in the microwave, so I can cook this Frittata even on a scorching hot day. I cook it in the …

If you like spicy salad, you can add Fresh Chilli, Dry Chilli Flakes, Ground Chilli, Gochujang (Korean Spicy Miso), etc. Sushi Nori is important …
Steaming is not the popular method to make cakes in Australia. I have made cakes using different methods such as oven, steamer, frying pan and rice cooker, and I can say that the steamer makes the softest and moistest cakes. Today, to make this cake, I used a pot and a flat steamer rack, which …
It is a custom for Japanese to have Soba Noodle Soup on the last day of the year, as the noodles are long and they symbolise ‘longevity’.
