This dish is supposed to be cooked with Oysters and Bok Choy. In Japan, fairly large Oysters removed from shell are available for cooking. Here in Melbourne, Oysters are in shell, rather small, and they are to be eaten raw. They are very expensive. So, I use Eggs instead of Oysters, and it’s delicious. Makes …
When I was a little girl, this soup (Egg only!) frequently appeared on our family’s dinner table. My family was poor, but my sisters and I always ate nutritious meals. I credit my mother for that, and Eggs must have been a great source of protein for her to cook. Today I added Prawns to …

When I was craving ‘Takoyaki’, the famous ball-shaped Japanese savoury snack, I invented this dish. Octopus is the key ingredient to make ‘Takoyaki’ but Octopus is hard to find where I live. I often use Squid. Then, using the same ingredients, I created this savoury cake mixture. I cooked it in the rice cooker because …
‘Oyako’ means ‘Parent and Child’. When ‘Chicken and Eggs’ are used, the dish is often called with the word ‘Oyako’.

Since my crust-less ‘Easy Quiche’ was perfectly cooked in my rice cooker, I have been cooking a variety of foods in the rice cooker. If ‘Quiche’ works, the ‘Frittata’ should work. Pre-cooking can be done in the microwave, so I can cook this Frittata even on a scorching hot day. I cook it in the …
