‘Buta’ means ‘Pig’ OR ‘Pork’ in Japanese. This is a Udon Noodle version of the popular ‘Buta Don’ (Pork Rice Bowl). It is extremely simple to make, yet it is delicious, and better than take away stir-fried noodles. The Egg Yolk is optional but highly recommended. The Egg Yolk would be slightly cooked by the …
I occasionally crave this Udon Soup with Wakame & Nori. It can be just the soup, but I often add Cooked Udon Noodles and make it into a meal. It is probably not very nutritious, but it’s OK as my diet is generally well balanced. You probably have some particular foods you occasionally crave. This …

Here is another very simple dish that you can make with 1 small can of Tuna. Today I used Udon Noodles, but you can use other Noodles. Spaghetti OR Shirataki (Konjac Noodles) are quite suitable for this dish. The amount of Enoki that I used today was 60g. That looks a lot before cooking, but …

I do love the combination of Prawns, Egg and Iceberg Lettuce. I often use them for Fried Rice and Stir-fries. They are great for Soups as well. You may be surprised to hear cooking Iceberg Lettuce, but Iceberg Lettuce is actually good for cooking as it retains the crispiness after being cooked. This is another …
