These juicy Chicken Patties are made with Chicken Breast Fillets cut into thin strips OR small dice. Texture if much better than the Patties made with Chicken Mince. Today I used 600g Chicken Breast Fillets that were already sliced for stir-fry. My hungry husband and son came to kitchen, and couldn’t resist tasting some. A …
As I had a small amount of leftover Roast Chicken, I made this Vietnamese inspired noodle salad for lunch today. I used Capellini (Angel Hair Pasta), an Italian Pasta. You can use Rice Vermicelli OR Japanese ‘Somen’ Noodles instead, but I love Capellini the best. Because I love its texture, it is inexpensive, and easy …
I often make these Chicken Bites using Shiso. However, Shiso is not easy to find for many people. It is impossible for me to buy it from stores, so I grow Shiso at home. Anyway, this recipe is easy for everyone because it uses Basil, dry OR fresh. Today I used Dry Basil, but you …
This salad of Wombok and Chicken can be dressed with any salad dressing of your choice, but this ‘Ponzu’ based simple Sesame Dressing is my favourite. You can’t find Ponzu? Don’t give up to try it because it can be easily substituted with Soy Sauce and Rice Vinegar. Makes 1 to 2 servings Ingredients 2 …
Since I saw a video of someone cooking Chicken Mince wrapped with Rice Paper, I have thought about trying it many times, but I haven’t. Because the process of wetting and softening the Rice Paper was bothering me as I am quite lazy. Today I sandwiched the Chicken Mince with DRY Rice Paper, and pan-fried …
It’s been cold in Melbourne. Today I wanted to eat something warm and comforting. A noodle soup is a good option. I decided to cook a Soba Noodle Soup. I like to use Katsuo (Bonito) Dashi for the soup to eat with Soba Noodles. I added Chicken Mince and Spring Onion. It was a very …
‘Kōya Dōfu’ is freeze-dried Tofu, originated in the mid 16th century Japan. It looks like a hard dried sponge. Today I simmered it with Chicken and Vegetables in the soy sauce flavoured soup. If you are Vegan, omit Chicken and use plant-based soup stock. This is a very comforting dish to enjoy on a cold …
This creamy looking Rice Soup is cooked with no Milk, no Cream OR no Cheese. The soup is creamy because of Rice and Egg. It is based on my ‘Lemon Chicken & Egg Soup’. It is quick and easy to cook, and the soup is nutritious and very comforting. When I am not well OR …
‘Tsukune’ is a Japanese dish of minced Meat. Chicken Mince is popularly used. ‘Tsukune’ can be round patties OR meatballs, sometimes served on skewers, and commonly covered with a sauce similar to Teriyaki Sauce. This is my very basic recipe. You can use this mixture for a variety of dishes. Makes 4 Servings Ingredients 500g …
The other day I cooked a large batch of ‘Nametake’ Enoki. I have been enjoying it, but it was time for me to finish the leftover. I used it to make these Chicken Patties. ‘Nametake’ Enoki is seasoned fairly strongly, so you need to be careful with the amount of Salt to add. I added …
The other day, when I was preparing Chicken Patties, I thought about extra ingredients to add. I always add Onion OR Spring Onion, sometimes add Carrot, Zucchini, Broccoli, Mushrooms, etc. Then I realised I had never ever added Potato. Today I tried to make Chicken & Potato Patties, but I decided to make bite-size balls …
This dish is often prepared for special occasions in Japan, such as new year’s celebration. I strongly recommend to use Dried Shiitake. Fresh Shiitake won’t work well. Soak Dried Shiitake in water until absolutely soft, then you stuff them with the Chicken Mince Filling. It is not hard to prepare, but you need to do …
