I love Spaghetti cooked in Japanese flavours and this is one of my favourites. You can replace Beef with other protein, but I think Beef tastes the best in this dish. I use Washed & Ready-To-Use Baby Spinach as it is widely available in Australia. Naturally you can use other green leafy vegetables. Makes 2 …
This is a very creamy pasta sauce. First I made it with Tahini, but I didn’t like the flavour. Tahini is ground RAW Sesame Seeds, and I like ground TOASTED Sesame Seeds, that is called ‘Nerigoma’ in Japanese. As such a special ingredient is not available where I live, I simply toasted Sesame Seeds and …
This noodle sauce is my newest creation and it is delicious! I was trying to create a miso-based meat sauce for Spaghetti. One day I happened to add Tomatoes to make the sauce juicier, and the result was FANTASTIC! This sauce is great with Spaghetti, Japanese Udon, Chinese Egg Noodles. I haven’t tried it with …
This is my second ‘Fiery Spaghetti’ recipe after ‘Fiery Beef Bulgogi Spaghetti’. When I eat spicy food, I always sweat quite badly. But I love spicy food. This is a Thai-inspired dish and it is really fiery hot. The amount of Tom Yum Paste in this recipe is just right for me, but you can …

This is a very simple dish, that can be prepared quickly and cheaply. If you can’t find Udon noodles, why don’t you use Spaghetti? Most stir-fried Udon dishes can be made with Spaghetti. I usually use a small (95g) canned tuna, but you may wish to add more tuna, and extra vegetables. The sauce is …
There are 2 spaghetti salads that I have been repeatedly cooking for decades. One is ‘Spaghetti, Cabbage & Apple Salad’ and the other is this ‘Spaghetti, Cucumber & Tuna Salad’. I always use Canned Tuna in Brine for this salad. If you use Canned Tuna in Water, you need to adjust the amount of Salt. …
In Japan, Spaghetti are often used for salad just like Macaroni are used for salad. This salad is another dish I learned from a friend who taught me ‘Crispy Abura-agé with Miso & Spring Onion’ when I was at uni. That’s many many years ago, and I am still making it. You know how much …
On a hot day, I made ‘Gazpacho’ for dinner, and I had no more energy to prepare anything else. ‘Gazpacho’ was not enough for my hungry children. I needed to make it more filling. How could I make ‘Gazpacho’ more filling? What I did was cooking thin spaghetti and mixed with the soup. That’s how …
This dish has another name. My children call it ‘Lupin III Spaghetti’. If you have just said ‘YES!’, you know Hayao Miyazaki, a legendary Japanese animation director and a co-founder of Studio Ghibli. He is famous for loads of animated films. You may know ‘Spirited Away’, one of his award-winning works. In the film called …
