Yesterday my daughter gave me a loaf of Raisin Bread, which was already quite stale. It was actually perfect for ‘Bread Pudding’, but I was too tired to make it. And as always, once I started thinking about ‘Bread Pudding’, the craving kicked in and I couldn’t stop it. The easiest solution is Mug Pudding. …
Cook an Omelette and place it on warm cooked Rice, and pour the Sauce over. This dish can be made with Egg and Rice only, but I believe you have something to add to the Omelette. Today I added 1 Spring Onion and 1 Shiitake. Maybe you have Peas, OR Garlic Chives, etc. This is …
If you haven’t used Iceberg Lettuce for soup, you should try. You use Nori only to make Sushi Rolls? You can use it for soup as well. This is a very simple soup made with those. Iceberg Lettuce retains its crispy texture after cooked. Nori must be toasted. If your Nori doesn’t smell good, toast …
‘Simmered Shiitake’ is not something you come across at Japanese restaurants, but it is a popular food in Japan where I grew up. I often cook a large batch, and enjoy it as a side dish with freshly cooked Rice, OR use it as a filling OR topping for Sushi dishes. With an Egg and …
‘Creme Caramel’ is not the easiest dessert to make. BUT, if for 1 serving, ‘Microwave Creme Caramel’ can be made quickly and easily. Today I replaced a half of Milk with Mascarpone, because I wanted to use up a small amount of leftover Mascarpone. I believe you can use Sour Cream OR Double Cream instead. …
When I was too tired to cook my lunch the other day, I made dish rice dish. I always have Boiled Eggs that my husband makes and stocks in the fridge. I had some leftover blanched Spinach and cooked Rice. I mixed them together, seasoned with Sesame Oil and Soy Sauce, I added Toasted Nori …
When I was cleaning my kitchen pantry yesterday, I found some leftover Savoiardi (Sponge Fingers). There were 12 fingers. They were not enough to make my Super Easy ‘Tiramisu’, so I decided to make these individual Tiramisu Dessert. It is almost identical to my ‘Matcha Tiramisu Dessert’. It is easy to make and impossible to …
‘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 …
When I don’t want to cook anything, particularly on a hot day, a rice bowl made with a canned fish is a go-to dish. Rice can be cooked by rice cooker. Canned Mackerel doesn’t need to be cooked. Egg needs to be cooked but it can be done very quickly using microwave. It took less …
Wombok is in season now and very cheap. I bought a whole Wombok the other day, and again I am struggling to use it up. Today I made a soup, and it was surprisingly good, so I decided to share how I made it. I think the key element is Potato Starch that I added …
Strictly speaking, this is not ‘Fried Rice’ because it is not fried, but it looks like and tastes like Prawn Fried Rice. And it is very easy to cook as Rice Cooker cooks it. When you don’t want to cook anything on a very hot day OR when you are too tired, this dish is …
This French hot sandwich is my newest discovery. It’s a ham and cheese sandwich, but made with White Sauce (Béchamel Sauce), and it is baked in the oven. If you omit the Egg, it seems the sandwich is called ‘Croque Monsieur’. I like it with Egg. I sometimes add sliced Tomato, OR Avocado. This is …
