‘Soboro’ means crumbled meat in Japanese. I often use minced Pork OR Chicken, sometimes canned Fish, and Tofu is also very suitable for ‘Soboro’ dishes. Please use a good quality Firm Tofu that contains less water. If you live in Australia, I don’t recommend Coles’ Firm Tofu that has sour taste and poor texture. This …
Salmon seems to be the most popular fish in Melbourne where I live. Fresh OR frozen Salmon fillets are available from any supermarket stores. I use skinless fillets to cook this easy Salmon Rice Bowl. There are many sauces that go well with the pan-fried Salmon, but this spicy sauce is my favourite at the …
There is a Japanese dish called ‘Oyako Don’. It is Chicken & Egg Rice Bowl and one of the most popular dishes. Today I cooked this rice bowl in a totally different way using the exactly same ingredients. It’s easier and quicker than ‘Oyako Don’, and absolutely scrumptious! Makes 1 Serving Ingredients 1 small Chicken …
This recipe is almost identical to my ‘Teriyaki Tofu Don’. I used a different flavoured sauce that was quite spicy, and I added Cashew Nuts for extra nutrients. This is a vegetarian dish. If you omit the Egg, it can be vegan. Coating Tofu pieces with Potato Starch is the important part of this recipe. …
Super thinly sliced Beef, that is available from many Asian grocery stores and some supermarkets, is very convenient to use. Today I wanted to cook Beef Stroganoff for my lunch, but I didn’t have Sour Cream. This is what I ended up making, but it was really yummy. Makes 1 Serving Ingredients 120g thinly sliced …
I believe this picture would make many Japanese people who live outside Japan crave this dish. It’s that sort of dish. Freshly cooked Rice is covered with ‘Katsuobushi’ (Bonito Flakes) that is seasoned with Soy Sauce, then a sheet of Toasted Nori, topped with Chikuwa Tempura. Chikuwa is a tube-shape Japanese fishcake, and Chikuwa Tempura …
To make Teriyaki Sauce, I use Sugar, Soy Sauce and Mirin. I sometimes add extra ingredients for flavours, such as Garlic, Ginger, Chilli, etc. It’s a very simple sauce and you can easily alter the flavour to suit your taste and ingredients. You don’t need to buy a bottle of Teriyaki Sauce. Using thinly sliced …
The other day, I ate a simple Avocado Salad with my ‘Garlic Sesame Dressing’, and the Avocado was so yummy with the dressing. Today I made it into a rice bowl. I reduced the amount of Vinegar for this rice bowl. It was a very simply dish, but very filling and nutritious. You can add …
You can create a variety of delicious and nutritious meals with just 1 small can of Sardines. I like rice bowls as I almost always have Cooked Rice. This is another very quick and easy recipe. Today I used Sardines in Olive Oil. I hate to let Oil in the can go into the drain. …
‘Sweet Chilli Prawns’ is a very popular dish and I have my own recipe, but it is much easier to cook if you use store-bought Sweet Chilli Sauce. Today I cooked it for my lunch and made it into this Rice Bowl. There is softly cooked Egg underneath the Prawns. It was yummy! Makes 1 …
This might be a new way to eat Lamb for you. It is a very simple stir-fry dish. As I always eat it with Rice, I made it into a rice bowl. This stir-fry is absolutely easy. Make the marinade in a mixing bowl, add all ingredients and mix to combine, then stir-fry. Of course, …
