A quick and easy way to use up a leftover Egg White is adding it to a soup. The flavour of the soup can be anything, but this is my favourite. I use Sesame Oil, Soy Sauce, Salt and White Pepper to season it. At least one vegetable should be added, and today I added …
Today I realised that I had a lot of Spring Onions, a bunch I had bought and another bunch my daughter had bought, and some of them were VERY thick. As I had leftover ‘Abura-age’ (Fried Thin Tofu) to use up, I just stir-fried the VERY thick Spring Onions and ‘Abura-age’. It was a quick …
I love Ramen in thick and rich soup, but today I enjoyed this light and simple soup seasoned with Salt and White Pepper. For this Ramen soup, leftover Roast Chicken is a perfect topping.

The other day, at a Japanese grocery store I found very thinly sliced Pork Belly that was not too fatty, and I bought a few packs. It is so handy to have it in freezer as many dishes can be cooked using it quickly and easily. The hardest part of cooking this ‘Gochujang Pork & …

Katsuo (Bonito OR Skipjack Tuna) is a very popular fish in Japan, and my favourite way to enjoy it is ‘Tataki’ that is slightly seared, often over charcoal, and eaten with ‘Ponzu’. I love to eat it with plenty of fresh salad vegetables, and fresh Garlic is essential. Cut it into fine strips and scatter …
Cook an Omelette and place it on warm cooked Rice, and pour the Sauce over. This dish can be made with Egg and Rice only, but I believe you have something to add to the Omelette. Today I added 1 Spring Onion and 1 Shiitake. Maybe you have Peas, OR Garlic Chives, etc. This is …

You need Gochujang (Korean Spicy …
