When I was a financially challenged Uni student, I often cooked this cheese & potato snack using a mini toaster oven. However, a non-stick frying pan works better. If you don’t have a non-stick frying pan, you can place a sheet of baking paper in a frying pan, so that the melted cheese won’t stick …
The leftover Mashed Potato doesn’t taste great next day. What do you use it for? Don’t throw it away. Why don’t you make it into soft rubbery Mochi? Just like my ‘Sweet Potato Mochi’, mix it with Glutinous Rice Flour and grated Cheese. It takes only a few minutes to make this yummy snack. Ingredients …
Make no comment about the wiggly Ketchup, please! I have shaky hands. This dish is similar to ‘Omu-rice (Omelette Rice)’ but much easier to prepare. Beef Mince can be replaced with thinly sliced off-cut Beef or Pork, but you can actually cook whatever you like. This is a great dish particularly for children. Makes 2 …

I love Jacket Potato but I am a little bit sick of the same toppings. What is your favourite topping? Sour Cream & Bacon, Ham & Cheese, Bolognese Sauce, Tuna Salad, Chilli Con Carne, or Curry? Here is a new topping suggestion. ‘Spicy Miso Pork’ for your Jacket Potato. I bet you have never tried …
Baby Potatoes are often sold in microwavable plastic bags, already washed and ready to be cooked. We can eat the skin as well, so those small juicy potatoes are perfect for busy people. They go so well with any seasoning, but have you tried them with this sweet miso sauce? Makes 2 to 4 Servings …
I still remember the day my mother first made this soup for me. She said it was called ‘Potage’ and I was so impressed. I had never tasted any western style soup before and that soup was my first milk-based soup. Now I know this soup is known as ‘Vichyssoise’ and it is traditionally served …
On this website, I have shared a recipe for ‘Potato Oyaki’, a type of savoury pancake, and my ‘Potato Oyaki’ is made with Rice Flour. I know many people don’t stock Rice Flour. This ‘Potato & Smoked Salmon Pancakes’ can be made with any flour of your choice. And you don’t need to shred or …
‘Korokke’ is a deep fried potato cake coated with ‘Panko’ Breadcrumbs, originally related to a French dish ‘Croquette’. On this website, I have introduced the most popular and basic ‘Korokke’ that is made with Beef Mince, and also ‘Curry Korokke’. Here is another type that I make for my family. Because these ‘Creamy Prawn Korokke’ …
I haven’t learned this dish from my mother. My own family in Japan never knows this dish, I guess. I learned ‘Cottage Pie’ by seeing my husband’s mother cooking it and I altered it to my way. Now I am writing down this recipe for my children so that they can cook their mother’s Cottage …
At a supermarket, I saw someone buying a sachet of cheese flavoured potato bake seasoning mix. I had a look at the ingredients printed on the package, and they are Modified Starch (1422), Mineral Salt (339), Iodised Salt, Maltodextrin (from Corn), Yeast Extract, Vegetable Fat, Sugar, Emulsifier (471), Flavours (contain Milk), Food Acid (Citric), Colour …
A few days ago, I tried ‘Savoury Potato Pancake’ recipe that I found on a Japanese cooking site. I would not approve the recipe. The grated raw potato has an unpleasant smell and the cooked potato pancakes still have the smell. You got to get rid of the smell. Then I started trying to make …
