I received a message on my ‘Stewed Azuki (Red Beans)’ recipe page from a woman, whose name was Aileen. She wrote that the dish had reminded her what her late-mother used to cook for her large family. Aileen described how her mother would cook the dish, and this is how I would cook it. Thank …
Beef Stroganoff is one of my family’s favourite dishes. I was cooking it again today using Beef Mince that was much cheaper than Steaks, and I decided to serve it with Mashed Potato. Then, I hit on this idea. Cover the Beef Mince Stroganoff with the Mashed Potato and bake it in the oven. Another …
This dish is much easier to cook than you think. I just cooked Beef Mince, Onion, Garlic and Capsicum, and seasoned with the Spices that I normally use for Mexican flavoured dishes such as ‘Chilli Con Carne’ OR ‘Mexican Chicken’. Add extra toppings of your choice and enjoy. If you cook it for more servings, …
If you have leftover ‘Yakiniku’ Sauce that you made OR bought for your Japanese style BBQ, you can use it for many dishes as a seasoning sauce. Today I used it to cook this simple dish of Ramen Noodles. If you don’t have it, try Quick & Easy ‘Yakiniku’ Sauce which is included in this …
This dish can be cooked in 10 minutes. If you have thinly sliced Beef, which is available from Asian grocery stores and some supermarkets, it is quicker and easier as you only need to slice Onion and Garlic. Season the dish as you like, but I like to use Soy Sauce. Makes 1 Serving Ingredients …
Gobō (Burdock Root) is a very popular vegetable in Japan, but it is IMPOSSIBLE to find where I live. A few days ago, I went to a local Korean grocery store as they sell some Japanese food as well, and I found Frozen Sliced Gobō. I bought a bag and cooked this rice dish I …
This is a quick & easy Mince dish that is similar to my ‘Stir-fried Pork Mince & Cabbage with Spicy Miso Sauce’, but it is much easier. Today I used Pork Mince, but Beef Mince is also nice. Basically I stewed Mince, Cabbage and Onion in curry flavoured soup. Enjoy it with freshly cooked Rice. …
The other day I came across a photo of IKEA Meatball dish, that looked so good and I wanted to taste it. It is much quicker and easier for me to make it from scratch than driving to the closest IKEA store. I don’t know if my dish tastes similar to the one I saw …
On a hot summer day, I often want to eat cold noodles. Honestly I don’t want to cook anything, but Angel Hair Pasta (Capellini) is good as it can be cooked in a few minutes. You don’t need to cook anything else to make this dish. Just combine everything with cooked and cooled Angel Hair …
I occasionally crave colds Soba Noodles that I would eat with ‘Mentsuyu’, a Japanese noodle dipping sauce. My favourite go-to dish to enjoy with the cold Soba Noodles is Prawn, Onion & Carrot ‘Kakiage’ Tempura, but I reluctant to cook it just for my meal. This dish is quick and easy. Using already thinly sliced …
I often cook ‘Quick & Easy Beef Rice Bowl’ for my lunch. This type of dish has been absolutely quick and easy since my local supermarket started selling super thinly sliced Beef and Pork, that are frozen and in tuber shape. You can find them at most Asian grocery stores. Today I added Garlic and …

I don’t need to start the cooking process with slicing Beef. Today I cooked it in a different flavour. This is …
