To make Falafel, you need to use uncooked Chickpeas. Because the protein of Chickpeas hardens when heated, the soft mixture of processed Chickpeas and other ingredients firms up when cooked. These Green Falafel are made with Chickpeas and Frozen Peas. You can smell and taste Peas as well. Absolutely delicious! Makes 30 balls Ingredients 1 …
When I first made Blondies, I used my ‘Brownies‘ recipe and I simply replaced Dark Chocolate with White Chocolate. It didn’t work. White Chocolate version became too wet. You would definitely need more Flour. Today I added Macadamia Nuts, that are native to Australia. You can use other nuts such as Walnuts, Almonds OR Pistachios. …
These are savoury pancakes that have unique rubbery texture similar to Mochi. You can make these Mochi Pancakes using Plain Flour only, but the texture would be slightly different. If you use Plain Flour only, alter the amount of Stock. The batter should be quite thin. These Enoki ‘Mochi’ Pancakes are great for snack OR …
Garlic Chives are not a herb for many Asians. They are a vegetable and I purchase them in a fairly large bunch. I used 40g of them for this dish. 40g Garlic Chives would look too much for 1 serving. However, the volume of Garlic Chives would be reduced a lot when cooked. I recommend …
Beef Stew is a simple dish. You cook Beef and Vegetables in stock OR water until soft and season with Salt & Pepper. Guinness Beer is popularly used, and many people add Tomato Paste and Herbs. There are many different methods, and this is how I cook it. I have found it difficult to cook …
‘Kara-age’ (kah-rah-ah-ge) is a Japanese cooking technique to cook meat and fish. The most popular one is ‘Kara-age’ Chicken. Today I cooked a head of Broccoli in the same way. It is not the healthiest method to cook Broccoli, but it is yummy. It would be great for drinking, particularly with chilled Beer. Makes 2 …
This dish is a variation of my ‘Miso Peanuts & Tofu’. I replaced Tofu with steamed Sweet Potato today. I wanted to use Pumpkin, but Pumpkins in Australia are all too wet and not suitable for stir-fry dish like this one. Floury Pumpkin that has fluffy texture would be great. You may wish to try …
I made this Rice Bowl dish based on my ‘Mabo Dofu Japanese Style’ recipe. As the saltiness and flavour of Miso vary with the products, please alter the amount of ingredients accordingly and make the sauce suit your taste. Eggplant should be meltingly soft and it takes time to cook it. If you are in …
Canned Fish are essential items for me. I always stock some Canned Tuna, Mackerel, Salmon and Sardines. It seems Canned Sardines are the least popular, but you can make many delicious dishes with them. I most often make Rice Bowl dishes such as ‘Canned Sardines Rice Bowl’. This dish is very similar, but it’s a …
Today I tried to make my ‘Chicken & Chorizo Baked Rice’ into Mexican flavour. I basically added the same Spices that I use to cook ‘Chilli Con Carne’. I didn’t add Chorizo today, but you can add it. The brilliant addition to this dish is Cheese. I used ‘Cheese Mix for Baking’, that is a …
Most Pumpkin Cake recipes require mashed (OR pureed) Pumpkin. I wanted an easier recipe. Then I decided to use my own ‘My Legendary Carrot Cake’ recipe, replacing Carrot with Pumpkin. I didn’t add Pineapple and Sultanas to this Pumpkin Cake, but you may wish to add them. The result? It was seriously delicious. Makes 1 …
This mixture of Seafood & Tomato cooked with Garlic and Chilli is, of course, perfect with Pasta, but it is perfect with Rice, too. I always season it with Soy Sauce. If you have tried stir-fried Tomato & Garlic seasoned with Soy Sauce before, you already know this rice bowl is delicious. With Seafood, it …
