Pizza is an Italian food, but it has been introduced into many countries, and unique localised Pizzas have developed. In Japan, you might come across ‘Teriyaki Chicken Pizza’. The other day, I head about Eel Pizza that is made with ‘Kabayaki’ Eel. I tried to make it using my ‘Teriyaki Chicken Pizza’ recipe, just replacing …
One of my favourite Spaghetti dishes is ‘Spaghetti alla Puttanesca’. What a genius who first combined Tomatoes, Olives, Capers, Anchovies, Garlic and Chilli!!! This is my easy version of Focaccia that is covered with those fabulous ingredients. Today I added Cheese as well, but Cheese is optional. Makes 4 to 6 Servings Ingredients 2 cups …
I believe this is the easiest and quickest dish of Lamb to cook, if you have already thinly sliced Lamb. Absolutely yummy to enjoy with chilled Beer, but of course you can enjoy with freshly cooked Rice. Serve with plenty of Coriander leaves and fresh Onion. Makes 3 to 4 Servings Ingredients 300g thinly sliced …
As I had a small amount of leftover Roast Chicken, I made this Vietnamese inspired noodle salad for lunch today. I used Capellini (Angel Hair Pasta), an Italian Pasta. You can use Rice Vermicelli OR Japanese ‘Somen’ Noodles instead, but I love Capellini the best. Because I love its texture, it is inexpensive, and easy …
Korean Food has become very popular in Melbourne where I live. There are very many Korean Restaurants. Bulgogi is one of the popular dishes, and local supermarket stores are now selling Bulgogi Sauces. Well… it is not hard to make. I believe my Bulgogi Sauce tastes better than store-bought ones. You need Gochujang (Korean Spicy …
This is a recreation of the salad that I ate at a restaurant in Port Douglas, Queensland. The salad I ate at the restaurant was mostly Wombok and there were some small Roast Pork pieces with salty crackling in it. It cost me nearly $30 and I felt totally ripped off. With the same cost, …
As many people use Short Pasta to make salads, I often use Spaghetti, that I usually snapped to 5-6cm in length. Today I used whole Spaghetti to make this ‘Prawn Spaghetti Salad’. I dressed it with a simple Salad Dressing that was based on my ‘Seafood Cocktail Sauce’, but you can use your favourite Dressing. …
‘Mazegohan’ is a Japanese dish of Rice. Rice and other ingredients are cooked separately, and mixed together after they are cooked. This dish looks like a fried rice, but it is not fried. It is easier to cook a large amount for your family, and healthier than fried rice. Add any vegetables you have that …
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 …
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 …
If you like Japanese ‘Curry Udon’, you would enjoy this ‘Tofu Puff Curry’. If you use plant-based stock, this dish can be Vegan. The curry is cooked with Dashi Stock, seasoned with Soy Sauce and Mirin, which are Japanese staples, and thickened with Potato Starch. Add more Vegetables and Mushrooms if you like. You think …
I made ‘Ponzu’ sauce for my family to enjoy a hot pot dish called ‘Chicken Nabe’ when my daughter came home last week. Using the leftover ‘Ponzu’, I cooked this rice bowl today. Don’t give up trying this dish if you can’t find ‘Ponzu’ as it is easy to make a substitute. You only need …
