When my children were young, they loved Instant Creamy Corn Cup Soup. I used to stock it in the pantry, but these day I stock Canned Creamed Corn instead. Most soups are easy to make, so is the Creamy Corn Soup, and home-made soup tastes the best and healthy as I add more vegetables. You …
This might be a new way to eat Lamb for you. It is a very simple stir-fry dish. As I always eat it with Rice, I made it into a rice bowl. This stir-fry is absolutely easy. Make the marinade in a mixing bowl, add all ingredients and mix to combine, then stir-fry. Of course, …
To make batter for this type of savoury pancake, I use Plain Flour, Potato Starch and Egg, just like ‘Tempura’ batter. You can use Plain Flour only, OR you may prefer Self-Raising Flour for softer texture. Today I made a large pancake and cut into bite-size pieces. Of course you can make smaller pancakes. Enjoy …
My husband bough a pack of Dried Dates by mistake as he believed they were Prunes. Dates and Prunes are very different, though he didn’t know the difference. Anyway, I needed to use those Dried Dates. I chopped them up and added to Butter Cake. The brilliant idea of mine was adding Carrot as well. …
I use Lamb Chops for this Curry, but you can use boneless Lamb meat that is easy to eat. If you love Curry, you probably have a collection of Spices. Please use your own blend of Spices, but I use Japanese S&B Curry Powder. I use 1 tablespoon only, and the flavour is mild and …

It is hard to believe that I used to hate this leafy vegetable that is called ‘Shungiku’ (春菊) in Japanese, and it is also known as Edible Chrysanthemum. I absolutely hated it when I was a child, and never tried to eat it until I was in my forties. I love it now. This is …
Well… this dish is not fried, so I shouldn’t name it Fried Rice, but it is almost the same as typical Fried Rice. It is extremely easy to prepare if you have a rice cooker. You don’t need to stand in front of hot cooktop. Place everything in the rice cooker’s inner pot and press …
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 …
Any cooked Beans can be used for this salad, but I like small beans such as Lentils and Azuki Beans. I often add Wholegrain Mustard to this type of salad, but today I added Capers, and it was delicious. I thought Italian Herbs would be lovely in this salad, so I added Dried Italian Mixed …
On a cold winter day like today, a comforting soup with crusty bread would be perfect.

Everyone was happy. Makes 4 Servings …
Soy Bean Salad is very versatile and you can season it with any sauce you like. ‘Crispy Chilli Oil’ and ‘Gochujang Mayo Dressing’ are really delicious.
