I had never eaten uncooked Snow Peas until I tried it in Australia. I instantly fell in love with the Australian juicy Snow Peas. If the Snow Peas in your country need to be cooked, just blanch them as they should be crunchy in this salad. I definitely won’t cook them. Makes 4 Servings Ingredients …
My mother used to cook this Fish Clear Soup for special occasions, when she cooked Sushi or special rice dishes. She used a fish called ‘Hamo’ that is really delicious, but it is not available where I live now. I use firm white fish such as Snapper. Clear soup is usually seasoned with Salt and …
This ‘Miso Marinated Salmon’ is delicious, but it is easy to burn. I recently discovered this baking paper method to cook Fish. My large thick-base frying pan used to be Non-stick but not anymore.

I am a big fan of ‘Spaghetti alla Puttanesca’. This dish is totally inspired by the famous Italian dish. I just added my favourite fish ‘Mackerel’ to it.

On the other day, I overcooked Potato and I couldn’t make what I meant to cook with it. So I just chucked it into a baking dish, added Canned Salmon, squeeze some Japanese Mayonnaise over, cover with some leftover Cheese, then baked it. The result was not bad at all. I am now writing down …
When I buy Celery, I always buy a large bunch with lots of leaves, so that I can cook this stir-fry. Do not waste leaves and thin stalks. This stir-fry is a great topping for freshly cooked rice. It is so tasty, and even my son, who doesn’t like Celery, seems to be enjoying it. …
The basic method to make a miso soup is you cook ingredients in Dashi Stock, then season with Miso. Oil is not used. This Seafood Miso Soup is cooked in that way. I added a small amount of Asian Curry Powder as Curry and Miso are a good match. You can pour this yummy soup …
