I frequently cook this popular dish which is Vegan, but I am confident meat lovers would enjoy it. Fried Tofu has firm and meaty texture, and the sweet Sesame Miso Sauce is a perfect match with the meaty Fried Tofu and crunchy Cabbage. Make sure Sesame Seeds are toasted and use Sesame Oil made from …
This dish is basically pickled Cabbage, and I use my Sushi Vinegar as marinade. My family’s Sushi Vinegar that I learned from my mother is fairly sweet. It can be used to marinate many vegetables. I added Garlic and Chilli. You can eat it straight away but I recommend to wait for a day. Just …
This is a quick & easy Mince dish that is similar to my ‘Stir-fried Pork Mince & Cabbage with Spicy Miso Sauce’, but it is much easier. Today I used Pork Mince, but Beef Mince is also nice. Basically I stewed Mince, Cabbage and Onion in curry flavoured soup. Enjoy it with freshly cooked Rice. …
Since last year’s kitchen accident when I burnt my face with hot oil, I am still reluctant to fry food in hot oil. I baked these Spring Rolls in the oven. You may prefer frying them. I believe fried ones taste better, but these baked ones are healthier, and it is much easier to clean …
The other day, I cooked ‘Stir-fried Harusame with Prawns & Lettuce’ without rehydrating Dry Harusame Noodles, and it worked very well. So, I cooked this dish in the same method. It is basically stir-fried Pork Mince and Vegetables. After I seasoned the stir-fry, I added Sauce and Dry Harusame Noodles to the pan. It didn’t …
‘Instant Ramen Noodles’ is a complete package that comes with Dry Noodles and Seasoning Powder, often with Spices and Flavoured Oil as well.

‘Yukari (ゆかり)’ is a Furikake (Rice Seasoning) made from Red Shiso Leaves. It can be used as a seasoning for a variety of dishes. My family members don’t like its flavour, but I love it and it is very popular in Japan. Just combine Yukari and Vegetable, such as Daikon OR Cucumber, and you can …
Today I seasoned this Red Cabbage Salad with my Garlic Sesame Dressing, that I most frequently use fo salads. You can replace Garlic with Ginger, OR you may wish to use both. This Cabbage Salad can be a great side dish. Make it a few hours before you serve it, so that Red Cabbage will …
I love the Korean dish called ‘Namul’. I understand ‘Namul’ and Japan’s ‘Aemono’ are same type of dish, that is basically seasoned vegetables. I usually season ‘Namul’ with a small amount of grated Garlic, Salt and Sesame Oil. Today I added a very small amount of Vinegar and it improved the flavour. The vinegar also …
This is a variation of ‘Kakiage’ Tempura, and the mixture has a resemblance to the ‘Okonomiyaki’ mixture because Cabbage is commonly used. However, you can use other vegetables such as Onion, Broccoli, Cauliflower, etc. You can shallow fry the mixture into mini pancakes if you prefer. Makes 4 Servings Ingredients 500g Whole Squid OR Tubes2 …
The other day, I saw a photo of Fish Tacos on a Facebook page. It looked so good and I wanted to eat it, but I had no energy and motivation to cook Fried Crumbed Fish. When my children were young and I was a very busy mum, I never cooked Fried Crumbed Fish. I …
