It is a custom for Japanese to eat Soba Noodle Soup on New Year’s Eve. However, it can be very hot at this time of year in Melbourne where I live, and I often cook a cold dish of Soba Noodles. But it is always nice to have a hot dish like this one. I …
When I heard that ‘Chebureki’, Deep-fried Meat Stuffed Pastry, is a very popular street food in Ukraine, I wanted to taste them. As it is very difficult to visit the country, I decided to make them by myself. ‘Chebureki’ were delicious, and I have shared my easy recipe on this website. However, since I had …
Ramen has become very popular in Melbourne where I live. It seems ‘Tonkotsu’ Ramen is the most popular one. To make the ‘Tonkotsu’ Ramen Soup, you need to boil the Pork Bones for a long time. This Mock ‘Tonkotsu’ Ramen Soup is quick & easy and tastes good. If you use plant-based Stock and Milk, …
I bought Cooked Ramen Noodles from supermarket and I was totally disappointed with it. The same brand’s Cooked Udon Noodles are a great product and I like its texture, but the Ramen Noodles are too thick and the texture is not suitable for Ramen Soup. Probably it is OK for stir-fry. However, for this Quick …
When my children were young, they loved Instant Creamy Corn Cup Soup. I used to stock it in the pantry, but these day I stock Canned Creamed Corn instead. Most soups are easy to make, so is the Creamy Corn Soup, and home-made soup tastes the best and healthy as I add more vegetables. You …
There are many Pumpkin Curry recipes out there, but I just don’t have the ingredients that are required for those recipes. I always have a tin of S&B Curry Powder which I love, and I make a variety of curries using it. Today I seasoned this Pumpkin Curry with the S&B Curry Powder, Soy Sauce …
Japan’s famous savoury pancake ‘Okonomiyaki’ is commonly made with Cabbage, but other vegetables can be used, and I have shared my recipes on this website. Today I used Wombok, and it worked fine. The texture of the thick white parts of Wombok is lovely in Okonomiyaki, however, ‘Wombok Okonomiyaki’ tends to become wet as more …
Here is another simple Harusame Soup for you to try. It’s super quick and easy to prepare. First you make the soup. You can season it as spicy as you want. Today I added 1 & 1/2 teaspoons Toban Djan (Chilli Bean Sauce) and some Rāyu (Chilli Oil), and it was quite hot and still …
‘Buta’ means ‘Pig’ OR ‘Pork’ in Japanese. This is a Udon Noodle version of the popular ‘Buta Don’ (Pork Rice Bowl). It is extremely simple to make, yet it is delicious, and better than take away stir-fried noodles. The Egg Yolk is optional but highly recommended. The Egg Yolk would be slightly cooked by the …
This dish is a simple version of my ‘Pork, Chorizo & Black Bean Stew’, but I didn’t add Black Beans because I wanted to serve it with ‘Cuban Inspired Black Bean Rice’. This dish is absolutely easy to cook. Alter the amount of Ground Chilli to suit your taste. I added 1/4 teaspoon and it …
I have Garlic Chives growing in the garden and also in a pot. This plant is very tough and never dies. It just spreads and grows. Today I picked some and cooked with Pork Mince. I often season with Oyster Sauce, but I used Gochujang (Korean Spicy Miso) and Soy Sauce today. It was a …
I often cook meatballs in a soup stock. When the meat mixture is soft, it is easier to drop meatballs, using a spoon, into the boiling stock, rather than roll the meatballs by hands and fry them. It’s a very healthy way to cook. You can enjoy cooked meatballs with your favourite sauce, but I …
