Daikon (White Radish) and Pork are a great combination. I used them for a variety of dishes, but this is a simple soup that can be cooked with those two ingredients only. Of course you can add extra ingredients such as Carrot and Asian Mushrooms. It is a good idea to season the soup strongly, …
‘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 …
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, …
I cooked this ‘Boiled Pork Belly’ for a Ramen topping. As it is only lightly salted and has subtle flavour of Soy Sauce, it is suitable for all flavours of Ramen soup. I rolled the Pork Belly for presentation, but it is optional. It can be enjoyed with your favourite sauce. I like to eat …
Chilli triggers severe sweating to me. I can’t tolerate very spicy food, but I love the spiciness of Chilli. Today I wanted to eat something spicy. I still had Kimchi in the fridge, so I decided to make this Udon Soup with the Kimchi. I added 1 tablespoon of Gochujang (Korean Spicy Miso) and Shichimi …
I used to cook this dish with Japanese thin noodles called ‘Somen’, but I use Capellini (Angel Hair Pasta) these days, because Capellini is much easier to find, cheaper, and I like its texture. The sauce has a typical Japanese flavour, that is made with Dashi, Soy Sauce and Mirin. The dish can be enjoyed …
‘Jaa Jaa Men’ is a Japanese dish. It is the adapted version of a Chinese dish that is cooked with Chinese fermented soybean paste. In Japan where I grew up, people cook it using commonly available Miso and Soy Sauce. You have Miso and Soy Sauce? Then you can try this dish. Makes 2 Servings …
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 …
Daikon and Pork are a great combination, and I often cook them together. I most likely use Soy Sauce, Sugar and Mirin to season them, but Miso is also good. Today I cooked just 1 serving for my lunch and made it into a rice bowl as I always eat it with rice. To cook …
‘Yakisoba’, Japanese stir-fried noodles, is seasoned with ‘Yakisoba Sauce’, that can be made with Soy Sauce, Worcestershire Sauce and Oyster Sauce. Sometimes, I prefer the flavour similar to the Chinese takeaway’s stir-fried noodles. Today I used Soy Sauce and Oyster Sauce only. I added a little Asian Chicken Bouillon Powder, and it tasted just like …
I often cook this Miso Soup to use up bits and pieces of Vegetables that are getting old. I recommend to use a variety of ingredients, and the more varieties the better. And I always add Potato, that is my favourite ingredient for Miso Soup. Makes 2 Servings Ingredients 2 cups Soup Stock of your …
This is a very filling soup because there is a lot of Cabbage in it. I added thinly sliced Pork and Corn Kernels today. You may wish to add more Vegetables OR Mushrooms. For me, this can be a meal as it is, but you can add some Rice OR Noodles. The soup doesn’t look …
