Beef Stroganoff is one of my family’s favourite dishes. I was cooking it again today using Beef Mince that was much cheaper than Steaks, and I decided to serve it with Mashed Potato. Then, I hit on this idea. Cover the Beef Mince Stroganoff with the Mashed Potato and bake it in the oven. Another …
I know Potato Pancakes such as Hash Browns are not healthy food but I love them. I try to create less unhealthy Potato Pancakes by adding Vegetables OR mashed Chickpeas, etc. Today I added a can of Mackerel and Cheese to this one. These Pancakes are high in calories but seriously delicious. You got to …
Today I was cooking ‘Stir-fried Satoimo (Taro) & Spring Onion’ again. Then I forgot about it. The ‘Satoimo’ were over cooked and too soft for the dish. They were already mashy, so I mashed them, mixed with the finely chopped Spring Onion, added some Corn Starch, and made into these Mochi cakes. It was a …
I kept visiting a local green grocer regularly because I wanted to cook this simple yet comforting dish, but never found small Taro that I call ‘Satoimo’ in Japanese. Frozen and peeled Satoimo are available form most Asian grocery stores. I gave up using fresh ‘Satoimo’ and today I used a bag (400g) of Frozen …
I make Cottage Pie with many different ingredients but I always season it with Tomato. Today I cooked this creamy version. This is identical to my ‘Chicken Pot Pie’ but Pie Pastry is replaced with Mashed Potato. It’s a little different way to enjoy same ingredients. You can add other vegetables such as Broccoli and …
This is a very comforting soup and absolutely easy to cook. The softly cooked Salmon and Potato are delicious in this Milk Soup. I like to thicken the soup and it can be done with Corn Starch, but thickening is optional. Enjoy this Soup with your favourite bread. Makes 2 Servings Ingredients 300g Salmon Fillets …
Today I failed to cook Boiled Eggs. They were supposed to be soft and gooey. I was cooking them in my Water & Energy Saving Method. When I thought ‘three more minutes to wait’, I started doing something else and totally forgot about it. Eggs were left in the hot saucepan for too long and …
You can use leftover Roasted Potatoes OR Chips to cook this Frittata. Today I boiled 2 Potatoes. I always add some Flour to the mixture, so that it cooks better in the rice cooker. If you are going to purchase a rice cooker, I recommend to invest a little more money and get one has …
‘Curry Flavoured Smoked Sausage & Potato Salad’ is one of my family’s favourite potato salads and I sometimes crave it. Today I wanted to cook it, but I didn’t have Sausages. As I had some Canned Fish, I decided to use Canned Mackerel instead of Sausages, and the result was great. It was delicious! The …
My family recently moved house. We couldn’t take everything to our new house, especially plants in the garden. My daughter was growing some Potatoes. She didn’t want to waste them. She was afraid Potatoes were not ready for harvest, but she dug up anyway, and found a lot of Baby Potatoes. I cooked them with …
Last night, my family enjoyed Fish & Chips. The fried fish and chips were light and crispy, and absolutely delicious. We ordered medium size chips, but the serve was so generous and we couldn’t finish them. Don’t throw away leftover chips! There are many ways to enjoy them on the next day. This is a …
To make batter for this type of savoury pancake, I use Plain Flour, Potato Starch and Egg, just like ‘Tempura’ batter. You can use Plain Flour only, OR you may prefer Self-Raising Flour for softer texture. Today I made a large pancake and cut into bite-size pieces. Of course you can make smaller pancakes. Enjoy …
