Today I happened to see the photo of my ‘Scallops Rice Bowl with Garlic Butter & Soy Sauce’ and I craved it. But I didn’t have Scallops and I didn’t have any Green Leafy Vegetable either. What I had in hand were Fish Balls and Spring Onion. I cooked them in the same way. It …

Pilaf is usually cooked in a pan OR pot. This is my super easy rice cooker recipe. You don’t need to precook Onion and Garlic. Place them in the rice cooker’s inner pot first, then they will get slightly caramelised and make the dish delicious. Lamb is cooked in a frying pan separately and added …
Ukraine’s thin Pancakes are called ‘Mlyntsi’. Similar to France’s Crepes, ‘Mlyntsi’ can be sweet or savoury. I have my own ‘Mlyntsi’ recipe.

I use Lamb Chops for this Curry, but you can use boneless Lamb meat that is easy to eat. If you love Curry, you probably have a collection of Spices. Please use your own blend of Spices, but I use Japanese S&B Curry Powder. I use 1 tablespoon only, and the flavour is mild and …
