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 …
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 …
This is another super quick & easy soup that you can cook with Dry ‘Harusame’ Noodles, aka ‘Bean Vermicelli’ OR ‘Thread Noodles’. I love to add ‘Harusame’ to soups as it makes the soups more filling and just one bowl of soup can be a meal. Today I added Pearl Barley as well, but already …
‘Nabe’ (Japanese Hot Pot) dishes are popular winter warmers. One of the most popular ‘Nabe’ dishes is ‘Kimchi Nabe’. You can cook it in a saucepan and serve it like a soup. Today I cooked 1/2 this recipe for my lunch. I enjoyed it with freshly cooked Rice. It was so comforting and warmed me …
The other day, I saw a video of a woman grilling Rice Paper over hot charcoal and making something that looked absolutely yummy. It seems it was a popular Vietnamese street food. I tried to recreate a similar thing using a frying pan. The essentail ingredients are Rice Paper and Egg, then you can add …
This dirty looking Oven-Baked Rice is made with Chicken Giblets (Gizzards and Livers). I think Livers make the dirty colour. It is actually delicious and you know Gizzards and Livers are cheap. It is not hard to make, but you need to work fair bit to prepare Gizzards and Livers. Serve with a refreshing salad. …
Pork Speck is a type of cured, lightly smoked ham. It can create delicious soups. I am using it for many dishes, and this is a very simple one that I often cook with canned Beans. Today I used Cannellini Beans. The other day I used Boiled Soy Beans and it was really good. Please …
I often stir-fry thinly sliced Pork and Enoki, and I season with Soy Sauce. The other day I added Gochujang (Korean Spicy Miso) to make it spicy. I thought I should add Garlic. Then I thought the sauce should be sweeter, then added Sugar. The experimental dish turned out quite delicious. So I wrote down …
Pan-fried Pork and Egg can be a great dish. As I always eat it with freshly cooked Rice, I made it into a rice bowl today. The sauce I used today was one of my favourites, a mixture of Soy Sauce and Oyster Sauce. It’s super easy to make. I often add a small amount …
I used to cook this Baked Pork using a store-bought ‘Char Siu’ Sauce. I usually boil chunky pieces of Pork until soft, marinate them with the sauce, then bake until browned. However, I didn’t have the ‘Char Siu’ Sauce today!!! I thought I had it!!! With no other choice, I made up a sauce adding …
This is the best Gluten-free Okonomiyaki that I have ever made. Glutinous Rice Flour, that is often called ‘Shiratamako’ in Japan, is the essential ingredient to make Mochi desserts and Dango dumplings. I used Glutinous Rice Flour for this Okonomiyaki instead of Wheat Flour. You need to use less Water for this Glutinous Rice Flour …
