I recently discovered Fresh Chinese Egg Noodles at a local Asian grocery store and they are much cheaper than Japanese Ramen Noodles that are available where I live. The Fresh Chinese Egg Noodles are delicious and can be cooked very quickly because they are fresh, not dried. We are enjoying the noodles with my ‘Miso …
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw carton-packed Ramen Soup products in a supermarket store. Are Ramen so popular in Australia as the biggest supermarket chain is keen to develop such products? If you a Ramen enthusiast, you should know that Ramen Soup is easy to make yourself. At least, my family’s Miso Ramen …
On a wet and cold day, everyone would appreciate hot soup. Today I wanted an Asian flavoured egg soup. The very ordinary chicken stock can instantly turn into Asian when fresh Ginger and Spring Onion are added. I used Enoki and Black Fungus, but naturally you can use any vegetables.

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 …
When I make Japanese soup, I don’t use Oil. I cook ingredients in stock, then season with Soy Sauce, Miso, etc. I cook this ‘Salmon & Bok Choy Creamy Soup’ in the same way, so this soup is Oil-Free. I use Corn Starch (OR Potato Starch) to thicken the soup, so it is Gluten-Free. Use …
‘Harusame’ are the noodles made from potato starch or mung bean starch. I use ‘Harusame’ noodles for this soup because I like its delicate texture but you can use any noodles of your choice. Rice noodles would be good, too. Makes 4 Servings Ingredients 250g Prawns (Frozen OR Fresh) 1/2 teaspoon Grated Ginger 2 Spring …
This type of dish is called ‘Shiru-kake Gohan’. ‘Shiru-kake Gohan’ is something that most ordinary Japanese people enjoy to eat, but you will never see at any Japanese restaurants or eateries in the world. It is ‘cooked rice covered with soup’. You know cooked rice and soup are the main food for Japanese style meal. …
The weather in Melbourne, Australia, is famous for its unpredictability. It is said to have four seasons in one day. Sometimes it is absolutely true. It can be rather cold, but it might turn scorching hot next day. The temperature can easily go over 40℃. I don’t like hot weather as I lose energy to …
It’s a soup of Spring. I have tried to make this soup with chicken stock, vegetable stock, potato, onion, or a little bit of butter. To enjoy the flavour of the Broad Beans most, you only need Milk. Trust me! You will enjoy the best Broad Beans soup. Makes 2 to 4 Servings Ingredients Broad …
Everyone loves to eat it, but backs away from cooking it. I know why. Because it takes a LONG time to caramelise the onion and you cannot leave it cook itself. You have to stay there, stirring the onion, for up to 1 hour. No way I can do that… I don’t have that patience… …
‘Bacon, Egg & Cheese’ is often said the greatest combination. I agree, but I think ‘Bacon, Egg & Tomato’ is also a great combination. This soup can be made in a few minutes and tastes much better than the instant cup soups, so stop buying instant soups and try this soup! Makes 2 Servings Ingredients …

But do they know what’s in those powders? Soup is easy to cook and much more nutritious and delicious. Try …
