I often stir-fry Tomatoes with Egg, and it is my family’s favourite dish. Today I added Tuna for this quick and easy rice bowl dish. This is another super easy dish that you can cook with a small can of Tuna. I always use Tuna in Springwater. If you use Tuna in Brine, you need …

‘Yakiniku’ Sauce is a dipping sauce for Japanese style BBQ, but ‘Yakiniku’ Sauce can be used as a seasoning sauce for many dishes. The other day, I shared my Fried Rice recipe.

I cooked Rice with Carrot only, and the result was NOT bad at …
