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 …
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, …
The other day, my daughter gave me a small jar of ground Sanshō peppercorns. She said she would never use it as she would never cook Eels. I told her Sanshō is not only for grilled Eels, and she could use Sanshō for anything just like Ground Pepper. If you have Sanshō and don’t know …
‘Kara-age-Ko’ is a Japanese seasoned flour that is used for, most commonly, Fried Chicken.

Today I cooked Fried Chicken just like my mother used to do …

I pre-boil them, so that all parts can be …
This dish is absolutely easy to make and DELICIOUS!!! As the ‘Char Siu Sauce’ that I created to make ‘Char Siu’ Baked Pork is very popular, I tried to marinate Chicken Fillets in the sauce, and baked them. I used Chicken Thigh Fillets on my husband request, and a lot of oil came out. I …
I tend to season Chicken with Soy Sauce. The other day, I wanted to try a totally new flavour. Since my husband travelled to Barbados, a Caribbean island, I have been interested in Caribbean cuisine. Then I discovered a Chicken dish called ‘Jamaican Jerk Chicken’. I read about it and created my own recipe that …

‘Mapo Tofu’, a popular Chinese dish has been adapted to Japanese tastes and it is called ‘Mābō Dōfu’ in Japan.
