I have been trying to lose weight lately, but I don’t want to give up Carbohydrates such as Rice and Pasta. I am a big fan of ‘Spaghetti Aglio Olio e Peperoncino’ (Spaghetti Garlic Oil & Chilli), the famous Italian pasta dish.

I have been craving sour food lately. Today I wanted to eat pasta for lunch, then I thought about a pasta dish that is sour. Then I cooked this Lemon Pasta. There are many recipes for different versions. I decided to use Butter and Garlic. I nearly added Soy Sauce to it, but I didn’t. …
When I need to cook Broccoli for a Spaghetti dish, I usually cook Broccoli in the same salty water that is cooking Spaghetti. I add Broccoli to the water when Spaghetti are half-cooked, and this method works fine. However, for this dish, there is an alternative way and Broccoli tastes much better. It’s my favourite …
I still remember the day when I tasted this dish at a small cafe in Okayama, Japan. It was nearly 30 years ago. I went to the Okayama Police Headquarter to obtain a certificate that I needed to apply for an Australian visa. I was tired and hungry, and stopped at the cafe for late …
In Japan, there is a super quick & easy dish called ‘Tamago Gohan’, that means ‘Egg Rice’. You just add a raw Egg and a little bit of Soy Sauce to hot Rice in a rice bowl, then mix it. The Egg would be slightly cooked by the heat. Nothing can be easier than this, …

This ‘Spaghetti Monster’ can be a popular dish on your Halloween dinner table. I am certain young children would love it. Basically you can use your favourite Pasta Sauce OR Pesto. To make the dish look like a monster, create eyes (you may prefer one large eye) using Bocconcini (Mozzarella Balls), boiled Egg, OR whatever …
Canned Fish are essential items for me. I always stock some Canned Tuna, Mackerel, Salmon and Sardines. It seems Canned Sardines are the least popular, but you can make many delicious dishes with them. I most often make Rice Bowl dishes such as ‘Canned Sardines Rice Bowl’. This dish is very similar, but it’s a …

If you are not Vegan, don’t skip this recipe. This dish is delicious with thinly sliced Pork, but today I cooked with plant-based ingredients only.
