This is a Korean inspired salad. I decided not to call it a ‘Namul’, but its flavour is similar to my ‘Namul’ dishes. Absolutely easy to make and delicious. For 4 servings, I used 200g Iceberg Lettuce. When it is torn into bite-size pieces, it might look too much, but it isn’t. DO NOT reduce …
This is my favourite salad recently and I have been making it frequently. Today I made it again. As soon as my husband saw it, he slouched to show his disappointment, and I heard him muttering ‘Again?’ Well, I think it is delicious and nutritious, it is so easy for me to make, and it …
This is a very filling soup because there is a lot of Cabbage in it. I added thinly sliced Pork and Corn Kernels today. You may wish to add more Vegetables OR Mushrooms. For me, this can be a meal as it is, but you can add some Rice OR Noodles. The soup doesn’t look …
Shiso (Perilla) has become popular, and more and more people are growing Shiso at home as it is often difficult to purchase from stores. If you are growing Shiso, you might be struggling to consume it and looking for recipes. Do you know you can eat not only leaves but also flowers? Some people harvest …
‘Namul’ is a Korean dish of vegetables. Similar to Japan’s ‘Aemono’, it is basically seasoned vegetables. I often use Salt, Garlic and Sesame Oil to season ‘Namul’ dishes. Today I added some Chilli Flakes as well. This dish is very quick and easy to prepare and it can be a perfect side dish. Makes 4 …
This is a Japanese rice dish that I used to cook with a vegetable called ‘Komatsuna’ and ‘Abura-age’ (Fried Thin Tofu). Both of them are almost impossible to find where I live now. The best substitute for ‘Komatsuna’ is Choy Sum, and ‘Abura-age’ is almost same as Tofu Puffs. This substitute version of the dish …
When you want to cook a side dish of Broccoli, steam-frying with a little bit of Water in a frying pan is truely the quickest and easiest method. I often cook with Olive Oil, Garlic and Chilli. Today I used Sesame Oil and seasoned with Oyster Sauce. Use a large head of Broccoli, but it …
This dish can be a side dish for two people, but I eat it as a meal. It is a very filling dish, but most of it is Iceberg Lettuce. You can use your favourite salad dressing, but I like to use Japanese Mayonnaise. It tastes similar to Coleslaw, but not too sweet. Makes 1 …
As my family members don’t enjoy Wasabi, I make this ‘Wasabi Pickled Cucumber’ just for myself. Many recipes require a lot of Salt, about 3% of the weight of Cucumber, and that’s too much for me. A lot of Sugar is also used. I actually tried the most common recipe and the result was far …
This is a super easy rice bowl dish. If you use already thinly sliced Beef, often available as frozen in tube shape, it will be super quick to cook. I love to add Garlic to this dish, but Ginger is also nice. You may wish to add both. This Beef and Tomato mixture is lovely …
My family’s favourite Spinach dish is definitely ‘Goma-ae Spinach’, however it contains a fair amount of Soy Sauce. I am trying to reduce Salt intake because of my husband’s health issue. Today I used Japanese Mayonnaise to seasoned it and I added only 1 teaspoon Soy Sauce to this dish. It was salty enough for …
