There is a very popular dish in Japan, and I believe it can be considered as a Japan’s national food. It’s ‘Tamago Kake Gohan’, a raw Egg on freshly cooked hot Rice. People drizzle with some Soy Sauce and mix all together before they eat it. The raw Egg would be slightly cooked by the …
This dish is called ‘Ebi (Prawns) Macaroni Gratin’ in Japan, as Macaroni are commonly used. It is a very popular dish. However, in Melbourne where I live, Macaroni are very short and small, and I don’t like to use them for this dish. I use other Pasta such as Pennette, Trivelle, Gemelli, etc. You can …
The other day, my daughter took me to a Korean restaurant and introduced me some Korean dishes. One of her favourites was grilled Corn & Cheese which was served in a cast iron plate. It was very sweet. I recreated it in my way using my pie dish, and in the flavour that I like. …
Vegemite, the iconic Australian savoury spread. I hated it for many years, but I enjoy it now. The other day, I made Vegemite & Cheese Puff Pastry Twists. It seems many people are making them, but I found they tasted very bland. I decided to add ground Chilli, and it was a good idea. Chilli …

Thanks to Pokemon, ‘Potato Mochi’ has become better known outside Japan. My ‘Easy Potato Mochi’ is very versatile and you can add extra ingredients. Today I added Bacon and Cheese. The cake of Mashed Potato, Bacon and Cheese can’t go wrong, can it? Actually it can. You must season it carefully because Bacon is salty. …
If your rice cooker has ‘Cake’ setting, it cooks not only cakes but also crust-less Quiche and Frittata. My ‘Rice Cooker Zucchini Frittata’ is super easy.
