In my kitchen, the easiest way to make a Sponge Cake is Rice Cooker, that has ‘Cake’ setting. I added Matcha Powder to my ‘Rice Cooker Sponge Cake’ mixture, poured it in the rice cooker’s inner pot, and pressed the switch to start cooking. While it is cooking, I made Matcha flavoured Custard, for which …
To make Basic Custard, I use 2 to 3 Egg Yolks for 1 cup Milk, and that makes lovely yellow custard. However, that means I will have 2 to 3 Egg Whites to use up later. That’s bothersome sometimes. Here is a recipe for Whole Egg Custard. The colour of the custard is not very …
Everyone loves the simple stir-fry of Egg and Garlic Chives (‘Nira’ in Japanese). The combination of Garlic Chives and Egg is delicious in soup as well, and so is it in fried rice. This fried rice is very garlicky. Remind yourself the smell of your breath if you meet someone after eating this fried rice. …
I love Ramen in thick and rich soup, but today I enjoyed this light and simple soup seasoned with Salt and White Pepper. For this Ramen soup, leftover Roast Chicken is a perfect topping. Of course, it doesn’t have to be leftover Roast Chicken. You can boil Chicken in the soup, OR add pan-fried Chicken. …
When you have some leftover Cooked Rice, fried rice is a dish that you can cook with it. If you are a beginner cook, you should learn how to cook it. Here is a very basic recipe. If you don’t Spring Onion, you can use some Brown Onion. Ham can be replaced with Bacon, but …
This is a quick & easy dish, that can be enjoyed as a soup, OR you can pour it over freshly cooked Rice or Noodles. It is low in calories and healthy. I don’t use Oil at all, but a few drops of Sesame Oil could add a flavour. Please use soft type Tofu such …
One of my family’s favourite dinner menus is Stir-fried Tomatoes. The essential ingredients are Tomatoes, Garlic and Soy Sauce. Today I added Egg and Harusame Noodles (Bean Thread Noodles). Harusame Noodles sucked up the yummy sauce and they were absolutely delicious! This recipe is supposed to be for 4 servings but I ate half of …
I love ‘Black Fungus’, that is an edible wood fungus similar to mushrooms. It’s a bad naming, isn’t it? You may call it by a different name. This is a quick and easy rice bowl, but it takes time to soften Dried Black Fungus. Start soaking them in water at least 30 minutes before you …
‘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. You can mix other ingredients with the Rice, OR decorate the Rice with the ingredients, that can be anything you like. Today …
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 …
