I often make a rice bowl dish for my lunch. I first check what’s in the fridge, then decide what to cook. Today I had Kimchi and some leftover Pork Mince. My first choice was this simple stir-fry. I wished if I had Garlic Chives, but I didn’t have any. I used Spring Onion instead. …

Pork and Kimchi are a lovely combination, that is great in stir-fry, soup, fried rice, and anything. I have found my ‘Fiery Pork & Kimchi Udon Soup’ is too fiery for me lately, I made this one with Ramen Noodles today. The spiciness was just right, not too spicy, and I truely enjoyed it. Makes …
What do you call these American fried & battered hot dogs on sticks? In Japan, they are called ‘American Dogs’, and in Australia where I live, they are called ‘Dagwood Dogs’.
