I used to purchase Frozen Fish Fingers regularly for my children when they were young. My children loved Fish Fingers, which made a quick & easy meal. Sometimes I had leftovers and they didn’t taste good next day. This is what I used to cook using those leftover Fish Fingers. A typical Japanese rice bowl …
This is the simplest Stewed Beef & Vegetables, I suppose. Today I had some chunky cuts of Beef for casserole, and I wanted to cook something very light. So, I simply stewed everything in Vegetable Stock and seasoned with Slat & Black Pepper. I thought the soup needed some acidity, then I added a Tomato. …
‘Mirin’, 味醂 OR みりん in Japanese, is a type of Rice Wine that is very sweet. It is an important ingredient in Japanese cooking. ‘Mirin’ is used to add sweetness to a dish, but it also adds Umami and richness in flavour, which Sugar cannot add. However, if you can’t find Mirin, OR if you …

When I was a child, my family’s breakfast was Bread and Hot Drink. Some mornings, when my mother realised we didn’t have enough Bread, she often made steamed Bread. If she’d had a rice cooker that cooks Cake, she would have used it. This Carrot Bread was cooked in the rice cooker. The top side …
I am a big fan of Lemon Curd Slice, but Lemon Curd contains a large amount of Butter and you need a lot of Lemon Juice to make it. This ‘Lemon Squares’ tastes almost the same but much lighter, and you can make it with just 1 Lemon. This is a very easy recipe. You …
Rice Soup is a good way to use up leftover Cooked Rice, particularly Cooked Rice that is cold and hard. Today I used canned diced Tomatoes, but if you have the harvest from your garden, please use fresh ripe Tomatoes, and the soup will be beautiful. You can add the Cooked Rice to any soup, …
This is one of the soups that I was cooking for my husband when he was eating a low-calorie soup every day for health reasons. I use no starchy vegetables, but you may wish to add Potato, which is surprisingly low in calories. I recommend to add a few drops Sesame Oil for flavour and …
