‘Butterfly Pea’ is a plant and its flowers look like Sweet Pea flowers but the colour is blue. Dried Butterfly Pea Flowers are often used to make a blue coloured tea. I was very curious and I purchase a bag of Dried Butterfly Pea Flowers. The tea was indeed very blue and I was impressed. …
As my ‘Gochujang Chicken’ has been very popular among my family and friends, I made it into a rice bowl dish today. This is the recipe for 1 serving. It would be easy to multiply for larger number of servings. You need to add some vegetables. Sautéed leafy vegetable would be perfect, but it can …
‘Goma-ae’ is a Japanese dish of vegetables dressed with sweet sesame seed sauce. A variety of vegetables are suitable for the dish, but I have found Wombok is tricky. It tend to turn bland. For Wombok, an extra Salt is needed. And I believe Ginger and Sesame Oil improve the flavour. This ‘Goma-ae’ Wombok is …
I had never used Mayonnaise and Oyster Sauce together to season anything before. As I have seen many recipes on the internet, I decided to try some of them. Mayonnaise is mainly made of Oil. When it is heated, it turns to liquid oil. The dishes that I tried to cook all turned very oily, …
Mug Cakes are easy to make if you have a microwave. Based on my ‘Instant Mug Cake’ recipe, I made Apple Mug Cake the other day. The result was not satisfactory. I should have peeled the Apple. I used only 1/2 Apple but it was not enough. And the cake was drier than I expected. …
‘Doria’ is a very popular Japanese rice dish. Butter Rice or Pilaf is covered with White Sauce (Béchamel Sauce) and grated Cheese, then baked in the oven. Today I added Corn Kernels to the Butter Rice. Then I decided to add some Soy Sauce to it, as I love ‘Butter & Soy Sauce Corn Rice’. …
I occasionally crave this Udon Soup with Wakame & Nori. It can be just the soup, but I often add Cooked Udon Noodles and make it into a meal. It is probably not very nutritious, but it’s OK as my diet is generally well balanced. You probably have some particular foods you occasionally crave. This …

If you have some leftover Coconut Milk, it’s perfect for this dessert. You would need 200ml Coconut Milk, but you can add other Milk and make 200ml in total. Today I had 100ml Coconut Milk, so I added 100ml ordinary Milk. This dessert is super easy to make if you have microwave. Jelly can be …
I was a big fan of a Japanese author who wrote many books on his travels, often in the places totally secluded from the world. One day, he cooked Rice, put canned Sardines and Nori on top of the Rice, then drizzled with some very precious Soy Sauce that he was carrying around. The description …
