A few days ago, I went to an Asian grocery store in Doncaster East. I knew the shop for a long time but I had never visited. The shop was not like the typical Asian grocery store. I should call it an Asian supermarket. There were so many fresh vegetables and the prices were amazing. …
The other day, I saw a photo of Fish Tacos on a Facebook page. It looked so good and I wanted to eat it, but I had no energy and motivation to cook Fried Crumbed Fish. When my children were young and I was a very busy mum, I never cooked Fried Crumbed Fish. I …
This Red Cabbage Salad can be a great side dish for your BBQ, OR you can use it for your Tacos. I don’t know if this is truely Mexican, but I always use Cumin, Coriander, Chilli and Oregano to season Mexican flavoured dishes. So, I added them to this salad. The flavour is Mexican to …
Crispy Chilli Oil is now one of my Must-Haves. It’s not very hot, that’s why I can enjoy it very much with anything. ‘Crispy Chilli Oil Chicken’ can be made instantly by mixing some leftover Cooked Chicken and Crispy Chilli Oil. This ‘Cucumber & Cream Cheese’ is the same. I just mixed Cucumber and Cream …
The mixture of Spring Onion and Garlic seasoned with Salt and Sesame Oil is very versatile. I often use it for ‘Spring Onion & Tofu Salad’, but you can use it for Omelette, Pasta dishes, Rice dishes, and many more. Today I enjoyed it with Silken Tofu. I strongly recommend to add a softly cooked …
When you cook Eggplant with other ingredients, sometimes you need to cook Eggplant separately. ‘Scrumptious Pork & Eggplant’ is an example. For this ‘Scrumptious Chicken & Eggplant’, you can cook Eggplant and Chicken together in the steam-frying method. What is that? It’s simple. Cover the pan with a lid and trap the steam, so that …
One-pot dinner is life saving for busy parents. I use to cook ‘Macaroni & Beef Mince’ quite often when my children were young. It is quick and easy to prepare, the dish is nutritious, and my children loved it. This is a similar one-pot dish. It’s basically my ‘Chilli Con Carne’. I added Uncooked Dry …
Today I was going to cook ‘Stir-fried Iceberg Lettuce & Egg’ with a sauce made with Gochujang (Korean Spicy Miso). However, the weather was hot and I wanted to make something easier. Then I decided to make a salad instead of stir-fry. I cooked Eggs and it didn’t take long at all, then I combined …
I want to encourage all people who hate Celery to try this salad. The mixture of Tuna and Japanese Mayonnaise with a little bit of Soy Sauce is absolutely delicious with many vegetables, and certainly it is with Celery. You can add Lettuce, Cucumber OR other salad vegetables to this salad to make the flavour …
This is basically pickled Celery. I used my family’s Sushi Vinegar as marinade. This sweet and sour flavour is something I crave when I am physically tired. I often add a small Dried Japanese Chilli called ‘Takanotsume’ (Hawk Claw) to the marinade. Today I sliced it, believing it would give the marinade more heat, but …
There are some methods to cook Broccoli. My favourite method is pan-steam-frying, and I have shared quite a few recipes on this website. Boiling and steaming are popular. Another method is simple stir-frying. If you chop up Broccoli into small pieces, it won’t take very long to cook it. Today I cooked Broccoli with Pork. …
This stew is super easy to cook and really delicious. It takes at least 1 & 1/2 hours, but you don’t need to do anything really. Just simmer the ingredients until ready. Chicken Drumsticks would be very soft after 1 & 1/2 hours. You may wish to add Noodles such as Ramen Noodles OR Rice …
