Edamame, young Soy Beans, has become so popular and it is widely available in Australia. I often purchase Frozen Edamame Beans that are already removed from pods.

In Japan, there is a type of Sushi called ‘Oshi-zushi’, that is made by pressing Sushi Rice and Toppings into a special mould, then it is cut into bite sized pieces to serve. This is a variation of it and it has become very popular. A round cake tin is used as mould, and it …
This is a plant-protein-packed power rice bowl dish. Spicy condiments such as Toban Djan (Chilli Bean Sauce) and Gochujang (Korean Spicy Miso) go very well with Nattō. I know some people find the smell of Nattō too overpowering, but this dish is not too bad. Sesame Oil makes the dish smell more appetising. Makes 1 …
‘Taco Rice’ is actually a Japanese dish and it was first created in Okinawa, once American-Occupied Japanese island.

These beans & peas don’t need to be fresh ones. Using frozen beans & peas, you can cook this dish whenever you want to. I love Broad Beans. The very first version of this dish was made with Broad Beans only. But I started adding Peas and Edamame (Young Soy Beans) to make it look …
Avocado goes so well with Japanese seasonings such as Soy Sauce, Wasabi, Japanese Mayo, ‘Ponzu’, etc. Do you know it goes well with Kimchi, the Korean salted & fermented veggies? I had a jar of Wombok Kimchi in the fridge, but it had turned quite sour. I usually cook sour Kimchi, but it was too …
This is one of my favourite dips and bread spreads. It is so tasty and refreshing. ‘Guacamole’ is traditionally made by mashing Avocado(s) and Salt, but you can find so many different recipes these days. Many of them require Coriander, which my husband and son hate. They are genetic Coriander haters. They just can’t identify …
