    Simmered Shiitake & Carrot

    When I cook ‘Simmered Shiitake’, I most likely add some vegetables such as Lotus Root, Bamboo Shoot OR Gobō, etc. Most them are hard to find where I live. The easiest option is Carrot. This is a typical Japanese dish, though you would never come across at Japanese restaurants. It is absolutely easy to cook. …

    Apple Sauce & Carrot Muffins

    I have just recovered from a nasty flu. While I was in bed struggling to eat, my husband made an attempt to cook Stewed Apple for me, but it ended up a mushy paste-like sauce. Today I used it to make these Muffins based on my ‘Morning Glory Muffins’. If you have leftover Apple Sauce, …

    Carrot & Chikuwa Takikomigohan

    ‘Chikuwa’ is a Japanese tubular-shape fish cake. The other day I wanted to cook my favourite ‘Abura-age & Carrot Takikomigohan’, which I crave sometimes, but I didn’t have Abura-age (Fried Thin Tofu). I added Chikuwa instead, and it turned out really yummy. I added some Sesame Oil and I believe it was a good decision. …

    Pea & Ham Soup

    This is one of my favourite soups. I always use Smoked Ham Hock for this soup, but you may wish to use a different type of block of Ham. To reduce the cooking time, I cut the Ham Hock into some chunks. If it is too difficult for you, make some deep cuts into the …

    Carrot & Tuna Sesame Salad

    This is a Korean ‘Namul’ inspired salad. It is absolutely easy to make, yet really yummy. As I always use a can of Tuna in Springwater, I add a reasonable amount of Salt, but you need to alter the amount of Salt. If you use Tuna in Oil, you may wish to use the Oil …

    Roasted Gochujang Carrots

    Today I wanted to cook Asian flavoured Roasted Carrots. I was going to use my ‘Char Siu’ sauce, but the sauce is very sweet and I was afraid it would be too sweet for Carrots. Then I decided to use Gochujang Sauce that I often use for Chicken and Tofu dishes, e.g. ‘Gochujang Tofu Rice …

    Stir-fried Harusame & Pork

    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 …

    Stir-fried Instant Ramen

    ‘Instant Ramen Noodles’ is a complete package that comes with Dry Noodles and Seasoning Powder, often with Spices and Flavoured Oil as well.

    Fried Fish Cakes

    A variety of Fried Fish Cakes are easily available from many stores in Japan and I never wanted to make them from scratch. But, in Melbourne where I live, I need to make them when I want to eat them. It’s much easier than you think if you have a food processor. Deep frying is …

    This is a very simple soup that is actually super easy to cook. No special technic is required. You cut the ingredients and cook them in a pot until soft, then season with Salt and Pepper. Today I used Beef that was already cut for stir-fry, so I didn’t need to cut it. This recipe …
