I frequently cook this popular dish which is Vegan, but I am confident meat lovers would enjoy it. Fried Tofu has firm and meaty texture, and the sweet Sesame Miso Sauce is a perfect match with the meaty Fried Tofu and crunchy Cabbage. Make sure Sesame Seeds are toasted and use Sesame Oil made from …
I often cook Daikon with Pork, sometimes with Pork Mince. Today I cooked the same dish with mince type Soy Meat. If you use plant-base Stock such as Kombu (Kelp) Dashi Stock OR Vegetable Stock, this dish can be Vegan. Enjoy with freshly cooked Rice. Makes 4 Servings Ingredients 1/2 cup (about 50g) Dry Soy …
Today I cooked Fried Tofu with Pork Mince in the way similar to my ‘Mabo Dofu Japanese Style’. Pork Mince can be thinly sliced Pork, OR you may prefer Chicken OR Beef instead. The main ingredient is Fried Tofu that is quite meaty. This is a very satisfying dish that can be enjoyed with freshly …
Nattō is commonly consumed with freshly cooked Rice, but it is yummy to eat with Udon Noodles. I always add Spring Onion, but today I added extra yummy things. I added Toasted Nori, Fried Shallots, Crispy Chilli in Oil and softly cooked Egg as well. It was 10 times yummier, and very nutritious. Makes 1 …
I almost always have cooked Rice, freshly cooked OR leftover. That’s why I often make a rice bowl for my lunch. Today I cooked this simple rice bowl with three ingredients, Egg, Nattō and Spring Onion. Super quick and easy, yet delicious and nutritious, full of protein and vitamins. I added Nori, Crispy Chilli Oil …
This is another way to enjoy the nutritious Nattō, fermented Soy Beans. I know many people dislike the slimy texture and smell of Nattō. My suggestion to enjoy it is mixing Nattō with other ingredients that have similar texture OR strong smell. This rice bowl is really enjoyable and packed with plant-based nutrients. Makes 1 …
The other day I cooked Tofu Puffs in the Japanese flavoured Dashi Stock and loved them so much. I instantly realised that Tofu Puffs could be used for a typical Japanese Rice Bowl dish like ‘Oyako Don’. I seasoned Dashi Stock with Sugar, Mirin and Soy Sauce, and cooked Tofu Puffs in it, then added …
Many traditional Japanese dishes are seasoned with Sugar, Mirin and Soy Sauce. And that is the flavour I love the most and I often crave it. Today I cooked Fried Tofu Puffs in this flavour. Fried Tofu Puffs are available from many Asian grocery stores. These ‘Simmered Tofu Puffs’ are delicious to eat with Rice, …
The other day, I was thinking of what to cook for my vegan friends. Then an idea came to me. Marinate Fried Tofu with my ‘Char Siu’ Sauce, which I am very proud of, then bake it in the oven. ‘It would be super easy and delicious,’ I thought. Today I tried to cook it. …
‘Soboro’ means crumbled meat in Japanese. Minced meat are used for a variety of ‘Soboro’ dishes, but crumbled Firm Tofu is a great vegetarian alternative. The texture of the crumbled Firm Tofu becomes firmer and crunchy when pan-fried, and it is similar to the texture of cooked Minced Meat. This vegetarian Tofu Soboro Curry is …
‘Soboro’ means crumbled meat in Japanese. I often use minced Pork OR Chicken, sometimes canned Fish, and Tofu is also very suitable for ‘Soboro’ dishes. Please use a good quality Firm Tofu that contains less water. If you live in Australia, I don’t recommend Coles’ Firm Tofu that has sour taste and poor texture. This …
This recipe is almost identical to my ‘Teriyaki Tofu Don’. I used a different flavoured sauce that was quite spicy, and I added Cashew Nuts for extra nutrients. This is a vegetarian dish. If you omit the Egg, it can be vegan. Coating Tofu pieces with Potato Starch is the important part of this recipe. …
