Last night, my family enjoyed Fish & Chips. The fried fish and chips were light and crispy, and absolutely delicious. We ordered medium size chips, but the serve was so generous and we couldn’t finish them. Don’t throw away leftover chips! There are many ways to enjoy them on the next day. This is a …
My children loved Instant Creamy Corn Cup Soup when they were young. 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. You can add Angel Hair Pasta …
To make batter for this type of savoury pancake, I use Plain Flour, Potato Starch and Egg, just like ‘Tempura’ batter. You can use Plain Flour only, OR you may prefer Self-Raising Flour for softer texture. Today I made a large pancake and cut into bite-size pieces. Of course you can make smaller pancakes. Enjoy …
I have been using a lot of Parsley for cooking lately. The other day I cooked Asian flavoured ‘Parsley Pancake’. Today I cooked Potato Pancakes and I added a lot of Parsley to the mixture. It was delicious. I added firmly packed 1/2 cupful Parsley, which looked too much, but surprisingly Parsley flavour was not …
This is a variation of savoury Potato pancakes called ‘Potato Oyaki’ in Japanese. I often make ‘Potato Oyaki’ with Smoked Salmon. Any other fish could be used I supposed, and I tried with Canned Mackerel today. I am so glad I did. The pancakes were yummy. Grilled fresh Mackerel would be wonderful, but it’s hard …
Thanks to Pokemon, ‘Potato Mochi’ has become better known outside Japan. My ‘Easy Potato Mochi’ is very versatile and you can add extra ingredients. Today I added Bacon and Cheese. The cake of Mashed Potato, Bacon and Cheese can’t go wrong, can it? Actually it can. You must season it carefully because Bacon is salty. …
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 …
Bread OR Pancakes made with mashed Potato can be found in many countries. Japan’s Potato Mochi is probably one of them. This ‘Thin Potato Bread’ is inspired by Irish Potato Farls. It is made with Potato, Butter and Wheat Flour. I heard the Farls are one large round soft bread cut into four quadrants. Today …
‘Potato Mochi’ has become well-known thanks to Pokemon. These days there are very many variations, and you can season it as you like. Pan-frying is the most popular method, but I deep-fried it today. It’s better to form the mixture into balls when you deep-fry. You can stuff a small piece of Cheese inside each …
When I first discovered so many people were visiting my ‘Potato Mochi’ recipe page, I had no idea about what was going on. Many of the visitors had left comments on the page and I learned the reason why they were visiting was ‘Pokemon’. Unfortunately, my ‘Potato Mochi’ recipe requires Glutinous Rice Flour, which is …
It takes time to cook Ham Hock until soft and that’s the down side of this soup. However, Ham Hock makes an excellent stock. Cook Vegetables and Beans in the stock until soft. That’s basically how to cook Ham Hock Soup. You can cook Dried Split Peas in the stock to make the popular Pea …
This stew is super easy to cook and really delicious. It takes at least 1 & 1/2 hours, but you don’t need to do anything really. Just simmer the ingredients until ready. Chicken Drumsticks would be very soft after 1 & 1/2 hours. You may wish to add Noodles such as Ramen Noodles OR Rice …
