    Pineapple Yoghurt Cake

    This is a variation of my ‘Simple Yoghurt & Lemon Cake’. I added canned Pineapple to it. As I used more Yoghurt for this cake, it is very moist and has cheesecake-like texture. This cake is easy to make, and a regular size tin of Pineapple Slices is enough for the cake, but you could …

    Azuki Mochi Cake

    There is a traditional Japanese steamed cake called ‘Uirō’ (ういろう), that is made of Flour and Sugar. Finely ground Rice Flour, Glutinous Rice Flour, Wheat Flour and Starch are commonly used, but there are many different recipes in regions, and textures and flavours are all different. My favourite flavour is Azuki. I would never think …

    Rice Cooker Bibimbap

    My favourite Korean dish is Beef Bibimbap. It’s not a quick and easy dish to prepare, but this one is absolutely easy. I cooked it like ‘Takikomigohan’, a Japanese dish of rice that is cooked with other ingredients and seasonings. Just place the ingredients in the rice cooker’s inner pot and press the button to …

    Bibimbap Sauce

    My favourite Korean dish is Beef Bibimbap. At many Korean restaurants, Bibimbap is often seasoned very lightly and served with Bibimbap Sauce. I like it very much because I can season the dish as strong and spicy as I like it. This Bibimbap Sauce is easy to make. You can alter the ingredients and make …

    Simmered Wombok & Asian Mushrooms

    It seems Wombok is currently in season, and it is cheap and delicious. There are many dishes that you can cook OR make using Wombok, but my favourite is simmered dishes. I love Wombok softly cooked in comforting soup, that is thickened with Potato Starch. Today I added Pork, but you can add Chicken OR …

    Curry Flavoured Chicken Sticks

    This is an easy version of my Curry Flavoured ‘Kara-age’ Fried Chicken. I cooked them in a frying pan. It’s much easier than deep-frying. Breast Fillets, that are cut into thick strips, can be cooked fairly quickly and pan-frying method works fine. Just use a generous amount of Oil to make them crispy. Makes 4 …

  • Harusame & Rice Noodles Tofu & Soy Protein

    Wombok, Tofu Ball & Harusame Soup

    ‘Crispy Tofu Balls’ that I use for cooking frequently are made with Tofu, Surimi (Fish Paste) and some Vegetables. They are similar to fried Fishballs, so you can use Fishballs instead. Chicken OR Pork meatballs and Fishcakes would be good, too. Softly cooked Wombok and Harusame Noodles are very comforting. Makes 1 Serving Ingredients 300ml …

  • Baked & Fried Sweets

    Dates, Cocoa & Oats Slice

    The other day I made ‘Dates & Cocoa Spread’. I added no sugar at all, but it was very sweet. I used it to make these healthy slices. To be honest, I thought a little bit more sweetness was required to enjoy them, so I added a small handful of Dark Chocolate Chips today. This …

    Daikon, Carrot & Tuna Salad

    There is a Japanese salad dish that is called ‘Namasu’, and Daikon & Carrot ‘Namasu’ is my absolute favourite. Based on the salad, I have made a variety of salads, and this one is the most recent creation. Do you have all the ingredients? Then why don’t you try it? I’m confidnet that you will …

    Caramel Custard Jelly

    This is a variation of my ‘Custard Jelly with Caramel Sauce’. Reduce the amount of Milk for slightly firmer texture, and jelly is set in ramekin OR mug with flat base. Instead of making Caramel Sauce, I made Caramel first. If you have microwave, it is easy to do. Then I poured the jelly mixture …
