I saw a lovely looking dish of roasted Broccoli and Potatoes that were mixed with Garlic and Anchovy. Sounds really good, doesn’t it? But, I didn’t want to use the oven. If it is just Broccoli, I would cook it in a frying pan. But I needed to cook Potatoes as well. So, I boiled …
I love Salt & Vinegar Potato Chips. On the other day, I searched for the recipes on the internet, and discovered most recipes require a lot of Vinegar, 2 to 3 cups of it, to soak the Potato slices. No way!!! We Japanese know a famous food product called ‘Sushinoko’, that is the powdered Sushi …

‘Nikujaga’ is the dish of ‘Niku’ (Meat) and ‘Jaga’ (Potato) cooked in sweet soy sauce flavoured broth. It is one of the most popular home cooking dishes in Japan, and I cook it very often. I use thinly sliced Beef, but ‘Niku’ can be other Meat. Thinly sliced Meat is most popular, but it can …
Broccoli is in season. It is delicious and also very cheap. I have been cooking Broccoli almost everyday. Today I added it to everyone’s favourite ‘Egg & Potato Salad’. Broccoli is so good with creamy sauces. With Sour Cream, Egg and Potato, it couldn’t possibly taste bad. Makes 4 Servings Ingredients 2 to 3 Potatoes …
Believe it or not, my ‘Carrot & Potato Chips Salad’ is one of the most accessed salad recipes on this website. I think Potato Chips (Crisps) is an underestimated salad ingredient. Many people add Croutons. Why not Potato Chips? Please choose good quality REAL Potato Chips. Do not use heavily processed potato-based chips. Makes 4 …
‘Nikujaga’ is a very popular Japanese dish made of ‘Niku’ (Meat) and ‘Jagaimo’ (Potato) that are cooked, often with Onion, in sweet soy sauce flavoured broth. I usually use thinly sliced Beef for the dish, but Pork or Chicken can be used. I wondered how about Lamb? I have never ever tried it before, so …
On the other day, I overcooked Potato and I couldn’t make what I meant to cook with it. So I just chucked it into a baking dish, added Canned Salmon, squeeze some Japanese Mayonnaise over, cover with some leftover Cheese, then baked it. The result was not bad at all. I am now writing down …
I used to be a Beetroot hater. I hated it so bad and didn’t want to put it into my mouth. But I love it now, and Canned Beetroot is my pantry essential. ‘Spinach, Beetroot & Fetta Salad’ is my No.1 Beetroot Salad. No. 2 is this ‘Beetroot & Potato Salad’. You can add Boiled …
Hokkaido is the northern island of Japan and famous for the fresh food they produce. High quality dairy products are particularly famous and Butter is one of them. Adding Butter to Miso Soup was unthinkable for me until I saw a TV ad many years ago. Miso Soup with Butter is really good, especially with …
The basic method to make a miso soup is you cook ingredients in Dashi Stock, then season with Miso. Oil is not used. This Seafood Miso Soup is cooked in that way. I added a small amount of Asian Curry Powder as Curry and Miso are a good match. You can pour this yummy soup …
As I was so happy with my ‘Green Vegetable Soup’, I tried to make ‘Orange Vegetable Soup’ today. The base is Pumpkin Soup, which I am not a big fan of, though my son and daughter love my ‘Pumpkin Soup’. Because of the Tomato I added, this orange colour soup tastes fruity and I love …
