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 …
This salad is absolutely delicious thanks to the dried Shrimps. Dried and shelled Shrimps might be an unfamiliar ingredient for you, but it is available from most Asian grocery stores. Dried Shrimps are quite hard, so you need to soften them by soaking in boiling water. Chop up the softened dried Shrimps and add them …

Clam Soup can’t fail. Just cook some Clams in light Dashi Stock with Sake (Rice Wine), OR you may wish to use other Stock. When Clams are open, the soup is already delicious.

Since last year’s kitchen accident when I burnt my face with hot oil, I am still reluctant to fry food in hot oil. I baked these Spring Rolls in the oven. You may prefer frying them. I believe fried ones taste better, but these baked ones are healthier, and it is much easier to clean …

It is hard to believe that I used to hate this leafy vegetable that is called ‘Shungiku’ (春菊) in Japanese, and it is also known as Edible Chrysanthemum. I absolutely hated it when I was a child, and never tried to eat it until I was in my forties. I love it now. This is …
