When I have some leftover Cooked Rice, I most likely make a rice soup. I would use Dashi Stock, season with Soy Sauce, and add Egg to the soup. That’s my favourite. Today I wanted to eat western flavoured soup. I used Chicken Stock and Milk, and added Parmesan. It was so comforting. Makes 1 …
If you have seen the thinly sliced & dried Daikon (White Radish) at a grocery store, you might have wondered how to eat it. It is called ‘Kiriboshi Daikon’ (切り干し大根) in Japanese. Dried Daikon can be used just like fresh Daikon after rehydrated. My absolute favourite dish of ‘Kiriboshi Daikon’ is this crunchy salad, that …
The main ingredients of this cake are 1 packet (300g) Silken Tofu, 2 Eggs and 1 cup ‘Kinako’ (Finely Ground Roasted Soy Beans). As Tofu is basically Soy Milk and ‘Kinako’ is 100% Soy Beans, and 2 Eggs are added, this cake is high in protein. Today I used Monk Fruit Sweetener which is zero-calorie …
Japanese Macaroni Salad can be made with any short pasta, but Spaghetti are popularly used. There are products of Dry Spaghetti that are already cut short, ready to use for salads.

Magic Cake turns into three layers when baked. The bottom layer is like ‘Fudge’, the middle layer is ‘Custard’, and the top layer is ‘Sponge’.

‘Asazuke’, Japanese Quick Pickled Vegetables, is very popular. It can be prepared quickly and easily, but many people use store-bought brine called ‘Asazuke No Moto’. ‘Asazuke’ can be prepared with Salt only, but it taste much better with some additional ingredients that adds Umami. This is how I make ‘Asazuke’. It is a great side …
This is a variation of my ‘Stewed Hamburgers (Beef Patties)’, which my children loved when they were young. Because I originally cooked the dish for young children, I used Tomato Ketchup and Japanese ‘Tonkatsu’ Sauce for the sauce, that means the sauce is quite sweet. You may wish to use Crushed Tomatoes OR Passata instead …
The cake made with a lot of Dried Fruit is not only for Christmas time. I crave this type of cake every now and then. There are many recipes and you probably have your own recipe. This is my recipe that is suitable for my family and my cake tin. I always use a 375g …
I stock 210g can of Red Salmon in my pantry for always. Using it, I can cook a variety of dishes. ‘Potato & Canned Salmon Gratin’ and ‘Rice Cooker Salmon & Sour Cream Frittata’ are just the examples. This quick and easy pasta dish is another. Are you a beginner cook? Have a read this …
I had a can of Passionfruit Pulp sitting in the pantry for a long time and I needed to use it. I had Greek Yoghurt leftover that was getting old. So, I decided to make a rice cooker cake. I used my ‘Basic Plain Rice Cooker Cake’ recipe, but I replaced 1/2 cup Milk with …
Last night, my husband and I went to watch ‘Les Miserables’ Arena Show. My husband wanted to have early dinner before we went out. I had Frozen Seafood Mix and nothing else. I was busy, so I placed Rice and Seafood in the rice cooker, and pressed the button. While I was doing other things, …
