Azuki Mochi Cake – Hiroko’s Recipes

Addicted 2 Sushi — Mon, 28 Sep 2026 08:15:18 +0000

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…

Prawn, Kimchi & Egg Rice Bowl – Hiroko’s Recipes

Addicted 2 Sushi — Sat, 26 Sep 2026 08:15:12 +0000

This dish is very similar to my ‘Garlic Chilli Prawns & Egg Rice Bowl’, but it is quicker and easier version for single serving, which I often cook for myself. The mixture of Egg and Prawns can’t go wrong in any flavours. I sometimes add Tomato to this dish, but…

Pineapple Yoghurt Cake – Hiroko’s Recipes

Addicted 2 Sushi — Thu, 24 Sep 2026 08:15:14 +0000

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…

Omelette Rice Bowl with Enoki Sauce – Hiroko’s Recipes

Addicted 2 Sushi — Tue, 22 Sep 2026 08:15:16 +0000

The other day, I caved ‘Scrambled Eggs with Nametake Enoki’, but I didn’t have ‘Nametake Enoki’. I only had some leftover Enoki. So I cooked a rice bowl that was similar to what I wanted to eat, and it was actually delicious. Today I cooked it again to take this…

Caramel Custard Jelly – Hiroko’s Recipes

Addicted 2 Sushi — Sun, 20 Sep 2026 08:15:23 +0000

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…

Dates, Cocoa & Oats Slice – Hiroko’s Recipes

Addicted 2 Sushi — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 08:15:17 +0000

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…

Simmered Wombok & Asian Mushrooms – Hiroko’s Recipes

Addicted 2 Sushi — Wed, 16 Sep 2026 08:15:11 +0000

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…

Bibimbap Sauce – Hiroko’s Recipes

Addicted 2 Sushi — Mon, 14 Sep 2026 08:15:10 +0000

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…

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…

Wombok, Tofu Ball & Harusame Soup – Hiroko’s Recipes

Addicted 2 Sushi — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 08:15:11 +0000

‘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.…

Curry Flavoured Chicken Sticks – Hiroko’s Recipes

Addicted 2 Sushi — Sat, 29 Aug 2026 08:15:15 +0000

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…

Baked Mock Churros (Egg Free ＆ Dairy Free) – Hiroko’s Recipes

Addicted 2 Sushi — Tue, 25 Aug 2026 08:15:10 +0000

The saying ‘Failure is the mother of success’ is certainly true. I was trying to make Churros, then I didn’t follow the recipe’s cooking steps. I mixed the ingredients wrongly, and the mixture turned very firm like a play dough. It was impossible to pipe it out. I rolled it…

Addicted 2 Sushi — Sat, 15 Aug 2026 08:15:11 +0000

My daughter says she is currently living on a very tight budget, and always buys near-expired minced Meat at discounted prices and she freezes it. I told her not to freeze it straight away. Cook it with Onion first, divide it into portions, then freeze it. This mixture can be…
