There are different forms of Sushi. ‘Chirashi-zushi’ is a rice-salad-like Sushi, and I often make it for my lunch. Sushi Rice can be made quickly and easily if you have already cooked Rice. You can mix other ingredients with the Rice, OR decorate the Rice with the ingredients, that can be anything you like. Today …
‘Soboro’ means crumbled meat in Japanese. Today I cooked Beef Mince into Soboro, and seasoned it with ‘Yakiniku’ (Japanese BBQ) Sauce. If you already have a bottle of Yakiniku Sauce, this rice bowl is super easy to cook, but I included a very simple Yakiniku Sauce recipe. Makes 1 Serving Ingredients 125g Beef MinceOil for …
Chikuwa, Japanese Tubular Fish Cake, can be eaten without cooking because it is already steamed and grilled. Of course you can cook it into a variety of dishes such as ‘Tempura’. Chikuwa is a delicious filling and topping for Sushi. You don’t need to cook it, but today I pan-fried it and seasoned with Soy …
The other day, I wanted to make Tabbouleh as I had a lot of Parsley and Mint. To make Tabbouleh, I most likely use Burghul (Cracked Wheat), but I didn’t have any. I added chopped Cauliflower instead, and guess what. It was more delicious than the Tabbouleh made with Burghul. I must share this recipe …
Deep-fried Tofu that has meaty texture is a great source of plant-based protein and it can be used for a variety of dishes. It goes so well with Miso. My family’s favourite is provably ‘Fried Tofu & Cabbage with Sesame Miso Sauce’. Today I cooked it with Soy Beans that I cooked the other day. …
I used to cook this dish using Canned Soy Beans, that is commonly available in Japan, but it is impossible to find in Melbourne where I live.

I often cook savoury ‘Cheesy Potato Pancakes’ with an extra ingredient, that can be canned fish such as Mackerel OR Salmon. Today I used Edamame Beans. Edamame Beans are young Soy Beans. In Melbourne where I live, frozen Edamame Beans already removed from the pods are available from most supermarkets. These pancakes are full of …
This dish can be a side dish for two people, but I eat it as a meal. It is a very filling dish, but most of it is Iceberg Lettuce. You can use your favourite salad dressing, but I like to use Japanese Mayonnaise. It tastes similar to Coleslaw, but not too sweet. Makes 1 …

The authentic ‘Crab Takikomigohan’ is cooked with some Crab Legs, but it’s not easy for me to find Crab Legs where I live. Using a small can of Crab Meat, this rice dish can be made quickly and easily, and it is delicious enough to me. You may wish to use imitation Crab Meat, but …
‘Kabayaki’ Eel is a popular filling for many different types of Sushi. Many Asian grocery stores and some supermarkets in Melbourne sell Frozen ‘Kabayaki’ Eel, sometimes called Roasted Eel OR Grilled Eel. I used it to make this Sushi Rice Bowl today. Quick and easy way to enjoy Eel, and it won’t cost too much. …
‘Okowa’ is a Japanese dish of Glutinous Rice. ‘Okowa’ that is seasoned with Soy Sauce is probably my absolute favourite food. My mother cooks it by steaming, but I cook it using a rice cooker. It is the easiest way to cook ‘Okowa’, and the result is good enough if regular Rice is mixed with …
