Softly simmered Wombok is a lovely dish. I love to cook it with thinly sliced Pork, but it can be cooked with Chicken, Tofu, Asian Mushrooms, Black Fungus OR whatever you like. Today I used Dried Shrimps and seasoned with just Salt & White Pepper. It was absolutely delicious because of the flavour from the …

I love crunchy Soy Bean Sprouts. Today I made this ‘Goma-ae’, a popular Japanese dish of vegetables dressed with Sesame Seeds.

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.
