My Shiso (Perilla) plants are growing well in a pot. They never die, don’t they? Every year, I can enjoy the fragrant Shiso. Here is another recipe that you can use Shiso, and this is quite popular in Japan. However, it is not popular in my house. My family members don’t enjoy Shiso. It smells …
There are many Pumpkin Curry recipes out there, but I just don’t have the ingredients that are required for those recipes. I always have a tin of S&B Curry Powder which I love, and I make a variety of curries using it. Today I seasoned this Pumpkin Curry with the S&B Curry Powder, Soy Sauce …
I don’t like store-bought Sausage Rolls. My husband’s mother taught me how to make Sausage Rolls using the store-bought Sausage Mince, but I don’t like the Sausage Mince. I use good quality thick Gourmet Sausages for a shortcut. Using store-bough Frozen Butter Puff Pastry, these Sausage Rolls are super easy to make, and they taste …
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. My mother always cooked Fried Chicken using a store-bought ‘Kara-age-Ko’, which must have been very convenient for a very busy mother like her. ‘Kara-age-Ko’ is actually easy to make. Today I cooked Fried Chicken just like my mother used to do …
On a cold winter day like today, a comforting soup with crusty bread would be perfect. This Chicken Soup is cooked with loads of Vegetables and slightly thickened with Split Lentils, that adds extra nutrients to the soup. I served this soup with ‘No-Knead Simple White Bread’. So good. Everyone was happy. Makes 4 Servings …
I received a message from a person who saw my ‘Kara-age’ Fried Chicken Gizzards recipe. She and her dog love Chicken Gizzards but she has never cooked Chicken Gizzards like I do. I asked her how she normally cooks Chicken Gizzards. She says she washes them first, then coat with seasoned flour and fry them. …
Chicken Gizzards (Giblets) are very cheap, but not many people cook them. You can find recipes on the internet, and many of them require to remove silver coloured parts from Gizzards because they are very tough. I don’t want to do that with my aching hands. 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 …
