The marinade made of Soy Sauce, Sake (Rice Wine) and Ginger is the most popular and most frequently used marinade in Japan. I often use it to marinate Fish, Tofu and Chicken. It can be tricky to marinate Chicken with bones such as Drumsticks as the amount of the marinade in this recipe is minimal. …
This dish looks like Fried Rice, but it is ‘Mazegohan’, a Japanese Rice dish. Rice and other ingredients are cooked separately and mixed together. It’s much easier than cooking Fried Rice, and you won’t need a lot of Oil. Today I added Chicken Thigh Fillets. Pork is also nice. I haven’t tried this dish with …
This is another ‘Takikomigohan’, a Japanese dish of Rice cooked with other ingredients and seasoning, but the flavour of this dish is not Japanese. I used Lemongrass to add flavours to the Rice. Lemongrass is South East Asian herb, so I use Jasmine Rice. I seasoned it with Fish Sauce instead of Soy Sauce. It …
‘Chirashi-zushi’ is a type of Sushi and it is a kind of decorated rice salad. It is very popular in Japan. I often make it, but I have never made ‘Chirashi-zushi’ with Chicken. As Teriyaki Chicken is my Aussie family’s favourite filling for Sushi Rolls, today I decided to make Teriyaki Chicken Chirashi-zushi for the …
I have just harvested Yuzu fruit from my Yuzu tree, that I planted in a pot 3-4 years ago. To enjoy the fragrance of zest of Yuzu fruit, the best way is to add a small piece of zest to Japanese clear soup. When I harvested Yuzu fruit last year, I shared my Fish Clear …
I first made this salad with ‘Goma-ae’ sauce that is made with Toasted Sesame Seeds, Sugar and Soy Sauce. It was delicious as it was, but today I added extra stuff as we often do. It turned a really nice salad. I am now writing down how I made it. Makes 4 Servings Ingredients 200g …
My husband told me about Chicken Wings that he enjoyed with his friends at a local German beer hall. I heard one of his friends complained the beer hall’s hottest Chicken Wings had never been hot enough for him. My husband asked the chef to make some really hot Chicken Wings for his friend and …
This traditional Japanese dish is called ‘Iri Dōfu’ (Scrambled Tofu) in Japan. It can be a vegetarian dish, but I would like to add Chicken. Momen Tofu or medium soft Tofu is traditionally used, but you must press it to remove excess water. I prefer Firm Tofu for this dish as I can use it …
When I was sick in bed last week, my husband bought Pizzas for dinner. One of them was BBQ Chicken Pizza which base sauce was BBQ sauce. I ate one slice of it and hit on an idea to use up the Hoisin Sauce that had been sitting in the fridge for ages. I had …
I have shared my ‘Oven-Baked Jambalaya’ recipe on this website. It is quite easy to cook. But today, I didn’t have enough energy. I wanted to cook it in the easiest possible way. The Rice Cooker is the best method. I placed the Chicken pieces at the bottom as I wanted to brown them. How …
The deep-fried Chicken fillet coated with Panko breadcrumbs is called ‘Chicken Katsu’ in Japanese. Pork version is, of course, the famous and popular ‘Tonkatsu’. ‘Tonkatsu Sauce’ is the most popular sauce to serve with ‘Chicken Katsu’. Today I served it with my ‘Curry Ketchup Sauce’. It was DELICIOUS!!! Makes 4 Servings Ingredients Chicken Katsu500 to …
I was planning to cook Chicken Stroganoff on the other day, but I became too tired to slice the Chicken Fillets. Slicing Chicken is not a big deal, but I get too tired sometimes. Then I cooked the same ingredients in a different way and the result was great. This is how I cooked it. …
