For a long time I wondered why this dish is called ‘Mongolian Beef’. I recently discovered it has nothing to do with Mongolian cuisine. Anyway, it is popular in Melbourne where I live. When I tried to cook it at home, I looked for recipes and I didn’t like all of them, because they were …
This is what I am most likely cooking when I don’t feel well with a cold or something. If I am very sick and weak, I would wish to eat ‘Okayu’, Japanese Rice Porridge, that is seasoned with only a small amount of Salt, but it is not nutritious. For this Rice Soup, Egg and …
This is the third time I cooked this quick and easy soup of Iceberg Lettuce. Every time I cooked it, I used more Lettuce than last time. Today I added 150g and it looked too much, but it was not. I could have added more. That’s because the volume of Iceberg Lettuce is reduced significantly …
I craved Miso Ramen today, OR, more precisely, I craved a Japanese Instant Ramen called ‘サッポロ一番’ (Sapporo Ichiban) Miso Ramen. It is almost impossible for me to find it where I live, so I cooked this super quick and easy Miso Ramen. It was actually not bad at all. Makes 1 Serving Ingredients 1 serving …
I know Potato Pancakes such as Hash Browns are not healthy food but I love them. I try to create less unhealthy Potato Pancakes by adding Vegetables OR mashed Chickpeas, etc. Today I added a can of Mackerel and Cheese to this one. These Pancakes are high in calories but seriously delicious. You got to …

Today I was cooking ‘Stir-fried Satoimo (Taro) & Spring Onion’ again. Then I forgot about it. The ‘Satoimo’ were over cooked and too soft for the dish. They were already mashy, so I mashed them, mixed with the finely chopped Spring Onion, added some Corn Starch, and made into these Mochi cakes. It was a …
Softly simmered Wombok is a lovely dish. I love to cook it with thinly sliced Pork, but it can be cooked with Chicken, Tofu, Asian Mushrooms, Black Fungus OR whatever you like. Today I used Dried Shrimps and seasoned with just Salt & White Pepper. It was absolutely delicious because of the flavour from the …
Using my savoury pancake recipe, let’s clean up some leftover vegetables. Please remember the amount of Batter should be just enough to bind the vegetables. It is easy to multiply this recipe and you can add as much vegetables as you want if you can combine with the thick Batter. Makes 2 Servings Ingredients Firmly …
When people try to lose weight, Rice Soup is considered as a good meal to eat because it is very filling and can be nutritious and low in calories. The main ingredient of this Rice Soup is Cabbage. Protein is important, so I added Egg. This Rice Soup is also a good meal when you …
My ‘Gochujang Chicken’ has become very popular and I was cooking it again to make a rice bowl today. Then I remembered a dish that my daughter once cooked for family. The dish tasted very similar to my Gochujang Chicken, and she added Cheese to it. So I added some Cheese, and Spring Onion as …
