If you have been to Japan, you might have tried a popular dish called ‘Omu-rice’ (Omelette Rice). It is hugely popular, my children loved it when they were young and they still do, but it is actually not quick & easy to prepare for a whole family. I often made this easy version. It tastes …
I hesitated to call this dish ‘Risotto’, but it is basically rice-cooker version of ‘Risotto’, and it tastes pretty good and texture is also good if you use ‘Quick Cook’ setting. Computerised Rice Cookers are so smart and they can do many things. However, they can get confused and stop cooking too soon when you …
This is another way to enjoy Kombu (Kelp). Using a rice cooker, it is super easy to cook. You don’t need to add Dashi Powder as Umami comes out from Kombu. Naturally, you can add some Vegetables such as Carrot, Asian Mushrooms, etc. Just remember that you must salt the Salmon fairly well. Makes 4 …
‘Takikomigohan’ is a Japanese dish of Rice that is cooked with other ingredients and seasonings. It is commonly seasoned with Dashi and Soy Sauce. ‘Gomoku’ (五目) means ‘various ingredients’, so it doesn’t have to be five ingredients, but I tend to use five ingredients. This is one of my favourite Japanese dishes and I cook …
‘Takikomigohan’ is a Japanese dish of Rice that is cooked with other ingredients and seasonings. I have used a variety of Canned Fish to cook ‘Takikomigohan’, but never used Kippers. So, I tried.

Today I tried to make my ‘Chicken & Chorizo Baked Rice’ into Mexican flavour. I basically added the same Spices that I use to cook ‘Chilli Con Carne’. I didn’t add Chorizo today, but you can add it. The brilliant addition to this dish is Cheese. I used ‘Cheese Mix for Baking’, that is a …

This is a vegan ‘Mazegohan’ and the main ingredients are Shiitake Mushrooms and Abura-age (Fried Thin Tofu). You can add other Asian Mushrooms as well.

‘Nametake’ is cooked Enoki Mushrooms in sweet soy sauce flavour. It has gelatinous slimy texture and very popular in Japan as a condiment for Rice. It is also good to eat with Tofu. Today I made a rice bowl dish using the three foods, Rice, Tofu and ‘Nametake’. If you like Tofu, you would enjoy …
‘Takikomigohan’ is a Japanese dish of Rice that is cooked with other ingredients and seasonings. There are some very traditional ones and this is one of them.

This is a Korean inspired ‘Takikomigohan’, that is a Japanese dish of Rice cooked with all other ingredients and seasonings.

While Gochujang Chicken Rice is cooking, make …
‘Doria’ is a very popular rice dish in Japan. Butter Rice or Pilaf is covered with White Sauce (Béchamel Sauce) and grated Cheese, then baked in the oven. I often cook ‘Doria’ when I want to use up leftover Cooked Rice, but I cooked Rice just for this dish today and made Carrot Rice. You …
‘Okowa’ is a type of Glutinous Rice dish. My mother used to cook it by steaming, but I cook it using a rice cooker just like ‘Takikomigohan’. When you use Glutinous Rice, you need to reduce the amount of liquid. As my ‘Pork Speck Takikomigohan’ was so successful, I tried to cook Asian flavoured version …
