You may have seen this dish at Chinese take-aways. It is actually a very simple stir-fry. However, because I always use Japanese Soy Sauce, the same dish I cook always looks different and tastes different. Then, I have learned that Dark Soy Sauce is commonly used to season this dish. I bought a small bottle …
A quick, easy and healthy dish, that’s what I want to cook for my lunch. I cook Harusame Soup very often, because it is absolutely ‘quick, easy and healthy’. Today I made this Pho Inspired Chicken & Harusame Soup, and it was so good. Dry Harusame Noodles can be cooked in the seasoned soup very …
You can create something similar to Pizza using a frying pan, quickly and easily, and more energy efficiently. Today I cooked thinly sliced Onion and Bacon with a little Oil, then cover with some shredded Cheese and a Flatbread, and cooked until nicely browned. Very simple. You only need a non-stick frying pan. If your …
I am a big fan of Tom Yum soups, particularly ‘Tom Yum Goong’. I don’t cook it at home as I usually don’t have ingredients such as Lemongrass and Kaffir Lime Leaves. So it is a restaurant food for me, though I often find it too spicy. This is my recipe to make a similar …
Well… this dish is not fried, so I shouldn’t name it Fried Rice, but it is almost the same as typical Fried Rice. It is extremely easy to prepare if you have a rice cooker. You don’t need to stand in front of hot cooktop. Place everything in the rice cooker’s inner pot and press …
Any cooked Beans can be used for this salad, but I like small beans such as Lentils and Azuki Beans. I often add Wholegrain Mustard to this type of salad, but today I added Capers, and it was delicious. I thought Italian Herbs would be lovely in this salad, so I added Dried Italian Mixed …
Obviously this dish has been inspired by an Indian dish ‘Dhal’. I always use Japanese S&B Curry Powder, so this dish tastes similar to Japanese curry. Of course you can use your favourite Curry Powder. This dish is very simple, easy to cook, and it won’t cost you much, yet it is delicious and nutritious. …
On a cold winter day like today, a comforting soup with crusty bread would be perfect. This Chicken Soup is cooked with loads of Vegetables and slightly thickened with Split Lentils, that adds extra nutrients to the soup. I served this soup with ‘No-Knead Simple White Bread’. So good. Everyone was happy. Makes 4 Servings …
This is actually the same thing as Onion ‘Kakiage’ Tempura. ‘Kakiage’ is a type of Tempura made with a variety of thinly sliced or chopped Vegetables and Seafood. The most popular ingredient is probably Onion. I pan-fried the mixture instead of deep-frying it. This humble Onion Pancake is very tasty. Makes 2 Servings Ingredients 1 …
You might think Nori is only for Sushi Rolls. It’s a sea plant processed into thin sheet. You can use it for many dishes. I often use it for salads. ‘Cabbage & Nori Salad’ is just an example. Today I dressed thinly sliced Cabbage with Gochujang Mayo Dressing, and added plenty of TOASTED Nori. You …
If your rice cooker has ‘Cake’ setting, it cooks not only cakes but also crust-less Quiche and Frittata. My ‘Rice Cooker Zucchini Frittata’ is super easy. Today I made ‘Spinach and Ham Frittata’ using a 120g bag of Baby Spinach. I LOVE Baby Spinach because it is easy to use. If you use ordinary Spinach, …
I know Hash Browns are an unhealthy food, but they are yummy. Today I deep-fried the mixture into bite-size balls. So, these ‘Hash Brown Bites’ are absolutely unhealthy, and it is very hard to stop eating them. I can confidently say they are dangerous!!! Maybe you can try to make them for your party. I …
