I often stir-fry Tomatoes with Garlic and season with Soy Sauce. I add Tofu or Eggs to it. That simple stir-fry dish is one of my family’s favourite dishes and it inspired me to cook this rice dish. As it was too tricky to cook Tofu or Eggs with rice, I added Chicken. The result …
On the other day, I wanted to cook ‘Omu-rice’ (Omelette Rice) for dinner. Then I had to cook 4 servings Ketchup flavoured fried rice, and that was not easy. Then I tried to cook all the fried rice ingredients in a rice cooker just like cooking ‘Takikomigohan’, a Japanese dish of Rice cooked with ingredients …
It takes time to prepare the fillings for traditional Sushi Rolls. I often prepare Carrot, Spinach, Egg, Shiitake, Fish or Chicken, Cucumber, and more. They all need to be prepared separately. It is very time consuming. But this filling is super easy to prepare. You cook everything together. It is a great filling for ‘Temaki-zushi’ …
I always use Japanese Short Grain Rice for ‘Takikomigohan’, that is a Japanese dish of Rice cooked with other ingredients and seasonings all together. However, for this dish that I wanted to serve with South East Asian flavoured sauce, I believe Jasmine Rice is better suited. You may wish to serve this dish with Coriander, …
My ‘Miso Marinated Salmon’ is delicious. The same marinade can be used to marinate not only Fish but also Chicken and Pork. I added some Sugar to make the marinade sweeter for Chicken, but it is up to your preference. If you cook them in a frying pan, please note that Miso Marinated Chicken are …
On the other day, when I was cooking ‘Kara-age’ Japanese style Fried Chicken, I came up with an idea to add curry flavour to it. Chicken pieces were already marinated, so I added Curry Powder to the coating flour mixture. The result was great! Soy Sauce and Curry are a good match indeed. Now I …

There is an old Japanese sweet called ‘Matsukaze’ (Wind in the Pines) that has hundreds of years history. And there is a Chicken Mince dish that looks like the sweet ‘Matsukaze’. This Chicken Mince dish is often prepared for the New Year celebration. I don’t have a large square pan, I bake it in the …
I cook Teriyaki Chicken quite often. It is a very popular dish for Bento Lunch among my family members. I sometimes add grated Ginger to it for an extra flavour. If I add a little bit of Garlic as well, they might get complaints from other hungry staff members at work, because the smell of …
This is a dish of Chicken cooked in a way similar to ‘Popcorn Prawns’ (Popcorn Shrimps). The reason why it is called ‘Popcorn’ is because it can be eaten like Popcorn and also it is crunchy like Popcorn. I recommend to use Tenderloins or Breast Fillet as they can be cooked quickly and less oily. …
This is an easy version of my ‘Teriyaki Chicken With Tartar Sauce’, replacing the Tartar Sauce with just Mayonnaise. I made it into a rice bowl dish as I always eat the dish with rice.
