    Tofu Puffs & Egg Rice Bowl

    The other day I cooked Tofu Puffs in the Japanese flavoured Dashi Stock and loved them so much.

    ‘Char Siu’ Baked Tofu

    The other day, I was thinking of what to cook for my vegan friends. Then an idea came to me. Marinate Fried Tofu with my ‘Char Siu’ Sauce, which I am very proud of, then bake it in the oven. ‘It would be super easy and delicious,’ I thought. Today I tried to cook it. …

  • Miso Soup

    Grated Daikon Miso Soup

    This Miso Soup might look boring, but it is a very comforting soup. It is one of the traditional Japanese soups. It looks slightly thickened, doesn’t it?

    People often ask me how to cook Miso Soup. The answer is simple. Cook ingredients in Dashi Stock, that can be Katsuo (Bonito), Kombu (Kelp) OR Iriko (Dried Sardines), OR Stock of your choice.

    Tofu Soboro & Mushroom Rice Bowl

    ‘Soboro’ means crumbled meat in Japanese. I often use minced Pork OR Chicken, sometimes canned Fish, and Tofu is also very suitable for ‘Soboro’ dishes. Please use a good quality Firm Tofu that contains less water. If you live in Australia, I don’t recommend Coles’ Firm Tofu that has sour taste and poor texture. This …

    Spicy Tofu & Cashew Rice Bowl

    This recipe is almost identical to my ‘Teriyaki Tofu Don’. I used a different flavoured sauce that was quite spicy, and I added Cashew Nuts for extra nutrients. This is a vegetarian dish. If you omit the Egg, it can be vegan. Coating Tofu pieces with Potato Starch is the important part of this recipe. …
