‘Takikomigohan’ is a Japanese dish of Rice that is cooked with other ingredients and seasonings. If you have a rice cooker, it is super easy to cook. Today I tried to create a Seafood Takikomigohan that looks and tastes like Seafood Paella. Mussels need to be cooked separately to make the Soup to cook Rice, …
When I purchase a bag of frozen seafood mix, Mussels are most likely included. I always remove Mussels because my family members don’t like them. Therefore, I often end up having leftover frozen Mussels that I need to cook for myself. I often cook ‘Tsukuidani’, but today I cooked them with Rice. If you have …
I bought a bag of Frozen Scallops, that was on special at a supermarket. Seafood are generally expensive where I live, but sometimes I find good quality seafood at a good price. I always cook Scallops in the same Garlic Butter & Soy Sauce flavour. Today I cooked with Miso and Toban Djan (Chilli Bean …
I have cooked Scallops in different flavours, but my absolute favourite flavour for sure is ‘Garlic Butter and Soy Sauce’. This simple combination does a magic, and it is also very versatile. You can add extra ingredients to it, for example, you may wish to add Chilli. Makes 1 Serving Ingredients 100g Scallops *pat dried …
This dish has been inspired by a European style dish of Clams that I saw on the internet. Clams were cooked with Garlic & Tomato. I instantly thought about adding Soy Sauce and Toban Djan (Chilli Bean Sauce) to that dish. Added Spring Onion instead of Herbs. This is an Asian style dish of Clams. …
The other day, we bought Fish & Chips and some Fried Seafood from a local Fish & Chips shop. It cost us a lot and we were totally disappointed. The food was not worth the money we spent. Today I cooked this amount of Beer Battered Fried Seafood using Marinara Mix (Seafood Mix) that I …
Drying is a good method to preserve food. Dried Fish and Seafood are popular foods in many Asian countries. I cooked ‘Dried Scallops Takikomigohan’ on the other day, and I still had some leftover Dried Scallops. Today I decided to cook them with Glutinous Rice. I love Glutinous Rice. The only issue about this dish …
Soak dried Scallops in water until soft and you will have a really nice stock. Using this stock and softened Scallops, you can cook a delicious ‘Takikomigohan’. Today I added Carrot and Shiitake as well, but just Scallops and Spring Onions would be good enough. Makes 4 Servings Ingredients 50g Dried Scallops400ml Water2 cups (*180ml …
I had never cooked this Miso Soup for my family in Australia before. One reason is it is NOT easy to find Clams where I live. Another reason is my husband and son don’t like shellfish. I cooked it today because my daughter requested me to cook it, just for two of us. In Japan, …
Anything tastes good with Butter & Soy Sauce, and so do Clams! This is another super quick & easy & delicious dish. The Clams and the sauce can be mixed with freshly cooked Pasta, OR this dish is great for drinking! Makes 2 Servings Ingredients 300g Clams *Today I used ‘Pippi’1 cup Salted Water *1 …
I love ‘Oysters Takikomigohan’ but I don’t cooked it often, because Oysters are extremely expensive in Australia. Then, I tried to make ‘Oysters Takikomigohan’ using Canned Smoked Oysters that are not expensive. The result was interesting. I changed the favour and added Asian Mushrooms. This cheap ‘Smoked Oysters Takikomigohan’ is not bad at all! Makes …
