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 …
I love crunchy Soy Bean Sprouts. Today I made this ‘Goma-ae’, a popular Japanese dish of vegetables dressed with Sesame Seeds. Because a lot of water comes out from Soy Bean Sprouts every time I cooked them, I have tried some different methods to cook this dish, but water comes out anyway. I recommend to …
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 …
When you need a ‘Otsumami’, a food to enjoy with alcoholic drinks, try this super easy salad. It takes only a few minutes to make it. It can be a nice side dish as well, but you need to double the amount as you would want to eat more. Makes 1 to 2 Servings Ingredients …
This salad is absolutely delicious thanks to the dried Shrimps. Dried and shelled Shrimps might be an unfamiliar ingredient for you, but it is available from most Asian grocery stores.

This dish is basically pickled Cabbage, and I use my Sushi Vinegar as marinade. My family’s Sushi Vinegar that I learned from my mother is fairly sweet. It can be used to marinate many vegetables. I added Garlic and Chilli. You can eat it straight away but I recommend to wait for a day. Just …
My ‘Pan-fried Broccoli & Cheese’ has become one of my family’s favourite Broccoli dishes. It is super quick & easy. Steam-frying in a frying pan is truely the best method to cook Broccoli. Today I added Anchovy. Of course I added Garlic as well. It couldn’t go wrong, could it? It was absolutely delicious. Makes …
Everyone loves crispy Onion Rings. It is absolutely easy to make at home. There are many slightly different recipes for the batter. My batter is simple and it is based on Tempura Batter, but I don’t use Egg. You need to cook Onion Rings in the hot oil, but the Oil doesn’t need to be …
Since my discovery of Frozen Sliced Gobō (Burdock Root) at a local Asian grocery store, I have been using Gobō for cooking, but I found the slices are just a little too thick and large for certain dishes. For this popular savoury pancake, you need to pre-cook them if the slices are too thick. I …
