I have a fond memory attached to this soup as one of my sisters frequently made this soup for our family members. She always used Beef Mince, which sometimes caused me coughing because the tiny pieces of Beef went to wrong way. I prefer using thinly sliced Beef. I wonder if my sister is still …
‘Yakiniku’ Sauce is a dipping sauce for Japanese style BBQ, but ‘Yakiniku’ Sauce can be used as a seasoning sauce for many dishes. The other day, I shared my Fried Rice recipe. This is a Takikomigohan recipe. Again, to season the dish, you only need ‘Yakiniku’ Sauce, nothing else. Using a rice cooker, this dish …
This is my Korean Bibimbap-inspired rice bowl, that can be made easily if you have ‘Yakiniku’ Sauce. Today I added leftover Spinach ‘Namul’ and Carrot ‘Namul’, both are Korean style dishes, but you can add stir-fried Vegetables of your choice, and you can season the stir-fry with ‘Yakiniku’ Sauce as well. Makes 1 Serving Ingredients …
These oven-baked patties are almost identical to the patties of Asa’s ‘Golubtsi’, which is described by Asa, a person who gave me the recipe, as a ‘lazy’ form of Cabbage Rolls. I named these patties ‘Golubtsi’ Burgers and I added Instant Oats instead of Cooked Rice and Breadcrumbs because my husband is currently trying not …
The other day, someone cooked my ‘Kimpira’ Konnyaku (Konjac) and shared the photo of the dish, and that made me feel very nostalgic because the dish always makes me think about my grandmother. Today I cooked Konnyaku (Konjac) with Beef. The dish has similar flavour to ‘Kimpira’ Konnyaku (Konjac), but more complex. You got to …
Cabbage Rolls are much easier to prepare than you think, though you need large Cabbage leaves. I often use uncooked Sausages for the stuffing, but today I made the stuffing using Pork Mince. I heard that Ukrainian people often add Cooked Rice to the mixture, so I added 1 cupful of Cooked Rice. I think …
Thinly sliced Pork and Beef are commonly available in Japan, and it would be easy to prepare this Ukrainian inspired dish. However, here in Melbourne where I live, thinly sliced Pork and Beef are not easy to find. Some Asian grocery stores sell them, but you need to be careful because those thinly sliced Pork …
I heard Ukrainian people’s favourite street food is ‘Chebureki’, Deep-fried Meat Stuffed Pastry. They say any minced Meat can be used. As I heard that Pork is very popular in Ukraine, I decided to use Pork Mince today, though I though Lamb Mince would be really yummy. Anyway, I tried to make everything simple. I …
The thin noodles made from Potato starch or Mung Bean starch are called ‘Harusame’ in Japanese, but there are many different names in different countries. Many people pre-cook these noodles when stir-fry, but it is unnecessary. I don’t pre-cook them. Soak them in water while you are preparing other ingredients. The rehydrated ‘Harusame’ noodles can …
I named this stir-fry dish ‘Korean Inspired Stir-fry’ because I used Gochujang (Korean Spicy Miso), however you can use your favourite Chilli Sauce instead. Cook Rice before you cook this dish, because you got to serve it with freshly cooked Rice. Makes 4 Servings Ingredients 350g Pork, Beef OR Chicken1 Onion *thinly Sliced1 small Carrot …
‘Nikujaga’ is one of the most popular Japanese home-cooked dishes. There are many variations. Potato can be replaced with Satoimo (small Taro) and meat can be chunky rather than thinly sliced. Today I added Oyster Sauce. If you like the traditional flavour, use extra Soy Sauce. Makes 4 Servings Ingredients 1 bag (400g) Frozen Satoimo …
‘Nikujaga’ is simmered Meat (Niku) and Potatoes (Jagaimo). I cook it with a variety of Meat, and my family members love the dish. Soy Sauce, Mirin and Sugar are used to season ‘Nikujaga’, but I added some Curry Powder today. Curry flavour can go quite well with the sweet soy sauce flavour. Makes 4 Servings …
