‘Spicy Pork & Tofu Soboro Don’ is very popular among my family members, and I cook it very often. Today I tried to cook a Vegan version of it. I usually use Toban Djan (Chilli Bean Sauce) for the spiciness, but I used Gochujang (Korean Spicy Miso) today as it adds sweetness and Umami as …
This is an absolutely simple stir-fry. Today I used Pork and Fried Tofu, but you can use Pork only, Fried Tofu only, OR Chicken if you prefer. The key element of this dish is the Sauce made with Gochujang (Korean Spicy Miso). This dish is delicious with freshly cooked Rice, but you can enjoy it …
This is a quick & easy dish, that can be enjoyed as a soup, OR you can pour it over freshly cooked Rice or Noodles. It is low in calories and healthy. I don’t use Oil at all, but a few drops of Sesame Oil could add a flavour. Please use soft type Tofu such …
‘Wakame & Cucumber Salad’ is one of the most popular Japanese salads called ‘Ae-mono’. Any cooked seafood such as Prawns, Squid and Scallops, OR Chikuwa (Tubular Fishcake) can be a great addition to it. My mother often adds ‘Shirasuboshi’ (しらす干し), dried whitebait. Today I added ‘Abura-age’ (Thin Fried Tofu) for a vegan version. These ‘Abura-age’ …
I have been repeatedly cooking this thick and comforting Udon and Vegetable Soup recently. This dish is based on my ‘Monk’s Vegan Soup’ that is called ‘Kenchin-jiru’ in Japan. It is 100% plant-based soup, and it would taste better if you use more variety of ingredients. Thickening the Soup with Potato Starch is optional, but …
The main ingredients of this cake are 1 packet (300g) Silken Tofu, 2 Eggs and 1 cup ‘Kinako’ (Finely Ground Roasted Soy Beans). As Tofu is basically Soy Milk and ‘Kinako’ is 100% Soy Beans, and 2 Eggs are added, this cake is high in protein. Today I used Monk Fruit Sweetener which is zero-calorie …
Deep-fried Tofu that has meaty texture is a great source of plant-based protein and it can be used for a variety of dishes. It goes so well with Miso. My family’s favourite is provably ‘Fried Tofu & Cabbage with Sesame Miso Sauce’. Today I cooked it with Soy Beans that I cooked the other day. …
I often cook this Miso Soup to use up bits and pieces of Vegetables that are getting old. I recommend to use a variety of ingredients, and the more varieties the better. And I always add Potato, that is my favourite ingredient for Miso Soup. Makes 2 Servings Ingredients 2 cups Soup Stock of your …
Fried Tofu is available from many Asian grocery stores. In Melbourne where I live, many supermarkets sell it. Fried Tofu has firm and crunchy outside, and it is suitable for many dishes. Today I cooked this rice bowl, similar to my ‘Scrumptious Chicken & Egg Rice Bowl’. It’s a vegetarian dish that is high in …
I frequently cook this popular dish which is Vegan, but I am confident meat lovers would enjoy it. Fried Tofu has firm and meaty texture, and the sweet Sesame Miso Sauce is a perfect match with the meaty Fried Tofu and crunchy Cabbage. Make sure Sesame Seeds are toasted and use Sesame Oil made from …
Today I cooked Fried Tofu with Pork Mince in the way similar to my ‘Mabo Dofu Japanese Style’. Pork Mince can be thinly sliced Pork, OR you may prefer Chicken OR Beef instead. The main ingredient is Fried Tofu that is quite meaty. This is a very satisfying dish that can be enjoyed with freshly …
This is another way to enjoy the nutritious Nattō, fermented Soy Beans. I know many people dislike the slimy texture and smell of Nattō. My suggestion to enjoy it is mixing Nattō with other ingredients that have similar texture OR strong smell. This rice bowl is really enjoyable and packed with plant-based nutrients. Makes 1 …
