This dish is almost identical to my ‘Tofu & Egg Rice Bowl’, but the texture is meat-like and quite different. ‘Abura-age’ is thinly sliced & deep-fried Tofu. It is popularly used for Japanese cooking as a plant-based protein. I like this dish not very sweet, but you may wish to add more Sugar. Makes 2 …
On the other day, I cooked Chicken version of my ‘Super Easy Beef Stroganoff’. I added Wholegrain Mustard instead of Pickled Cucumber because I was in doubt if Pickled Cucumber was the right sourness for Chicken. The result was fantastic! I thought slight spiciness would make the flavour even better, so I sprinkled with extra …
Salmon is probably the most popular fish in Melbourne. A local fish shop has started selling sashimi-grade fresh Salmon and I am very happy. You don’t like Sashimi? The texture of raw salmon is not very different from the smoked salmon’s texture. Try this spicy and delicious Salmon rice bowl. You will love the raw …
Originally ‘Chan-Chan-Yaki’ is a fishermen’s dish from Hokkaido. It is a dish of Salmon and Vegetables steam-cooked on a hotplate using freshly harvested fish in Autumn by fishermen for themselves.

‘Taco Rice’ is actually a Japanese dish and it was first created in Okinawa, once American-Occupied Japanese island. It consists of taco-flavoured Beef Mince (OR Beef & Pork Mince) served on rice with shredded Lettuce, Tomato and shredded Cheese. Many people use Ketchup and Japanese Worcestershire Sauce to season Taco Beef. I don’t use Ketchup …
Do you cook Avocado? Many years ago, at a local Italian restaurant, I was surprised to find cooked Avocado in my chicken dish. I had never cooked Avocado before. Since then I sometimes add Avocado to my stir-fries. However, you got to add it at the very end of cooking. Makes 2 Servings Ingredients 250 …
Here is another dish for you to try on Meat-Free-Mondays. Tofu is the key ingredient for this dish and I recommend to use soft type such as Silken or Momen (Cotton). You can add more vegetables and Asian mushrooms to it. In that case, you need to use a larger frying pan and more sauce. …
Canned Tuna, Eggs and some Greens. That’s all you need to make this rice bowl dish. I always use Tuna in Springwater. If you use Tuna in Brine, you need to reduce the amount of Soy Sauce because the tuna is salty. This is cheap and easy to cook, yet so delicious! Makes 2 Servings …
‘Tofu Soboro Don’ is another delicious and nutritious meal for you to try on Meat-Free Mondays. Of course you can try it anytime you want.

Sometimes, I crave this ‘Donburi’ (Rice Bowl) dish that is called ‘Zuke Don’ in Japanese. It’s Marinated Sashimi Rice Bowl and commonly Tuna Sashimi is used, but I sometimes use Salmon Sashimi. Sashimi grade fish are not commonly available where I live. Only Salmon and/or Tuna Sashimi are sometimes available from a fish shop. If …
‘Spicy Pork Soboro Don’ is one of my family’s favourite dinner dishes. But I started adding Tofu (ALDI’s Organic Firm Tofu) to increase the quantity, so that we can have it for lunch next day. The additional Tofu makes the dish healthier, too. Makes 6 to 8 Servings Ingredients 500g Pork Mince1 tablespoon Oil1 small …
