These juicy Chicken Patties are made with Chicken Breast Fillets cut into thin strips OR small dice. Texture if much better than the Patties made with Chicken Mince. Today I used 600g Chicken Breast Fillets that were already sliced for stir-fry. My hungry husband and son came to kitchen, and couldn’t resist tasting some. A …
As I had a small amount of leftover Roast Chicken, I made this Vietnamese inspired noodle salad for lunch today. I used Capellini (Angel Hair Pasta), an Italian Pasta. You can use Rice Vermicelli OR Japanese ‘Somen’ Noodles instead, but I love Capellini the best. Because I love its texture, it is inexpensive, and easy …
I often make these Chicken Bites using Shiso. However, Shiso is not easy to find for many people. It is impossible for me to buy it from stores, so I grow Shiso at home. Anyway, this recipe is easy for everyone because it uses Basil, dry OR fresh. Today I used Dry Basil, but you …
This salad of Wombok and Chicken can be dressed with any salad dressing of your choice, but this ‘Ponzu’ based simple Sesame Dressing is my favourite. You can’t find Ponzu? Don’t give up to try it because it can be easily substituted with Soy Sauce and Rice Vinegar. Makes 1 to 2 servings Ingredients 2 …
Since I saw a video of someone cooking Chicken Mince wrapped with Rice Paper, I have thought about trying it many times, but I haven’t. Because the process of wetting and softening the Rice Paper was bothering me as I am quite lazy. Today I sandwiched the Chicken Mince with DRY Rice Paper, and pan-fried …
‘Mazegohan’ is a Japanese dish of Rice. Rice and other ingredients are cooked separately, and mixed together after they are cooked. This dish looks like a fried rice, but it is not fried. It is easier to cook a large amount for your family, and healthier than fried rice. Add any vegetables you have that …
It’s been cold in Melbourne. Today I wanted to eat something warm and comforting. A noodle soup is a good option. I decided to cook a Soba Noodle Soup. I like to use Katsuo (Bonito) Dashi for the soup to eat with Soba Noodles. I added Chicken Mince and Spring Onion. It was a very …

Chicken Mince is popularly used. ‘Tsukune’ can be round patties OR meatballs, sometimes served on skewers, and commonly covered with a sauce similar to Teriyaki Sauce. This is my very basic recipe.

The other day I cooked a large batch of ‘Nametake’ Enoki. I have been enjoying it, but it was time for me to finish the leftover. I used it to make these Chicken Patties. ‘Nametake’ Enoki is seasoned fairly strongly, so you need to be careful with the amount of Salt to add. I added …
The other day, when I was preparing Chicken Patties, I thought about extra ingredients to add. I always add Onion OR Spring Onion, sometimes add Carrot, Zucchini, Broccoli, Mushrooms, etc. Then I realised I had never ever added Potato. Today I tried to make Chicken & Potato Patties, but I decided to make bite-size balls …
This dish is often prepared for special occasions in Japan, such as new year’s celebration. I strongly recommend to use Dried Shiitake. Fresh Shiitake won’t work well. Soak Dried Shiitake in water until absolutely soft, then you stuff them with the Chicken Mince Filling. It is not hard to prepare, but you need to do …
I make this salad only for myself. My family members don’t enjoy this salad because they hate Coriander. They say Coriander stinks and tastes like soap. I definitely don’t think it tastes like soap. I don’t use Oil for this salad. It is a healthy and nutritious salad. Makes 2 to 3 Servings Ingredients 200 …
