‘Takikomigohan’, a Japanese dish of Rice, is something I truly enjoy cooking and eating. It is absolutely easy to cook if you have a rice cooker, as the Rice is cooked with other ingredients and seasonings. It was a life saver for me when I was a busy parent. Today I cooked it with Pork …
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.

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 …

‘Creme Caramel’ is not the easiest dessert to make. BUT, if for 1 serving, ‘Microwave Creme Caramel’ can be made quickly and easily.

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.
