When I make Japanese soup, I don’t use Oil. I cook ingredients in stock, then season with Soy Sauce, Miso, etc. I cook this ‘Salmon & Bok Choy Creamy Soup’ in the same way, so this soup is Oil-Free. I use Corn Starch (OR Potato Starch) to thicken the soup, so it is Gluten-Free. Use …
‘Harusame’ are the noodles made from potato starch or mung bean starch. I use ‘Harusame’ noodles for this soup because I like its delicate texture but you can use any noodles of your choice. Rice noodles would be good, too. Makes 4 Servings Ingredients 250g Prawns (Frozen OR Fresh) 1/2 teaspoon Grated Ginger 2 Spring …
This type of dish is called ‘Shiru-kake Gohan’. ‘Shiru-kake Gohan’ is something that most ordinary Japanese people enjoy to eat, but you will never see at any Japanese restaurants or eateries in the world.

The weather in Melbourne, Australia, is famous for its unpredictability. It is said to have four seasons in one day. Sometimes it is absolutely true. It can be rather cold, but it might turn scorching hot next day. The temperature can easily go over 40℃. I don’t like hot weather as I lose energy to …

Everyone loves to eat it, but backs away from cooking it. I know why. Because it takes a LONG time to caramelise the onion and you cannot leave it cook itself. You have to stay there, stirring the onion, for up to 1 hour. No way I can do that… I don’t have that patience… …
‘Bacon, Egg & Cheese’ is often said the greatest combination. I agree, but I think ‘Bacon, Egg & Tomato’ is also a great combination.

When you make ‘Chawanmushi’, savoury custard soup, ingredients are placed in the individual serving cups. This is an easy version for the everyday meal.

Vegetable Soups are easy to make and warm us on cold days. My mother used to make Creamy Potato Soup for my sisters and me. I simply added Cauliflower to that soup. The texture is lighter than her Potato Soup and I like this soup with freshly cracked Black Pepper. Again, I don’t use Oil. …
