Trevally was on special at a local fish shop today. I bought just 1 fillet that weighed more than 500g! It must have been a giant trevally fish. Trevally’s flavour and texture are similar to the fish called ‘Aji’ in Japan and I quite like this type of fish.‘Tatusta-agé’ is…
We don’t use the yard-pound system in Australia, but 1 pound is about 454 grams. The Pound Cake is made with 1 pound of each Butter, Sugar, Eggs and Flour and that’s what I learned. However, 1 Pound of each ingredient will make a huge volume. Just thinking of 454…
I do love mushrooms and the best mushroom I have ever tasted was my grandmother’s meaty Shiitake. She used to grow Shiitake in a wood near her house and my family was lucky to enjoy the harvest. Whatever way they were cooked, those mushrooms were so chewy and crunchy and…
My ‘Sweet Miso Eggplant Don’ is usually made with Pork Mince, but it can be made with Chicken Mince, Beef Mince, Tofu OR Canned Tuna. On the other day when I wanted to eat it for lunch but I didn’t bother cooking it just for myself, I did an experiment.…
Here is another super easy and very nutritious dish for you to try. Even if your are a very beginner cook, you can cook Spaghetti. While you are cooking Spaghetti, make the Tuna and Avocado mixture, then mix it with cooked Spaghetti. That’s it! Easy, isn’t it? Makes 1 Serving…
‘Bacon, Egg & Cheese’ is often said the greatest combination. I agree, but I think ‘Bacon, Egg & Tomato’ is as great as ‘Bacon, Egg & Cheese’. These trios just work so well in any cooking. This soup can be made in a few minutes and tastes much better than…
I recommend you to stock at least a bag of Spaghetti in your kitchen. Canned Tuna are often on sale at supermarkets, stock them as well. Already washed and ready to serve Baby Spinach Leaves are very handy to have in the fridge. Of course you have Eggs. Then you…
At summer festivals in Japan, there must be a lot of food stalls and some of them are certainly selling char-grilled corn. Butter & soy sauce flavoured grilled cobs corn are very popular. I often make them for dinner using a frying pan. Cobs Corn need to be pre-cooked but…
When you buy a bunch of celery, what do you use the leaves and thin stalks for? I have once introduced ‘Celery Leaves Tsukudani’ on this website. Here is another yummy ‘Tsukudani’ for you to try. Because I love this dish so much, I always buy celery by a large…
I used to use Imitation Crab Meat (aka Crab Sticks) for this dish. Imitation Crab Meat is made of white fish paste, starch, sugar, egg whites and crab flavouring. And it is shaped to resemble the crab meat using red food colouring. I don’t use Imitation Crab Meat for cooking…
This playdough is great fun to play with and it’s great fun to make it. My son was always very creative and enjoyed making things with a variety of materials when young. Playdough was an essential material for him, and now he has grown up to be an artist. Ingredients…
It is ‘Spaghetti Neapolitan’ and is not miss-spelled. It sounds like ‘Spaghetti Napolitana’ but it is different. Actually it is a Japanese dish. ‘Spaghetti Neapolitan’ is a dish of cooked spaghetti pan-fried with vegetables and seasoned with KETCHUP!!! I always add Tabasco as well.‘Spaghetti Neapolitan’ used to be a very…
Kinoe is located in the backstreets of Ebisu. It’s a modern Italian restaurant that is possibly not so well known (well at least it wasn’t to me!), but has a clearly loyal and enthusiastic clientele. This was simply one of the nicest lunches I have had in a long time.…
Parsnip is a vegetable that I first tasted in Australia more than 20 years ago and instantly became one of my favourite vegetables. And for a long time I have believed that the best way of cooking parsnip is roasting. But… I have recently discovered that Tempura is also good.…
I usually stock already cooked Udon noodles (frozen/vacuum-packed) and they are just perfect for one-person lunch. They only need to be warmed and loosened. While you are warming the Udon Noodles, you can cook this spicy pork. It’s quick, easy and yummy as always. Makes 2 Servings Ingredients Udon 2…
‘Kamome Shokudō’ is a 2006 Japanese comedy film that is set in Helsinki, the capital city of Finland. It’s a story about a woman who sets up a small cafe serving Japanese-style food. Many delicious-looking foods appear on the film but the Finnish ‘Cinnamon Rolls’ holds the key to attracting…
I am writing this recipe to encourage my son and his friends to try more cooking. I know they don’t want to bother about cooking soups when instant cup soups are cheaply available from supermarkets. But do they know what’s in those powders? Soup is easy to cook and much…
When you make ‘Chawanmushi’, savoury custard soup, ingredients are placed in the custard. This is an easy version for the everyday meal. The jumbo version looks great, but steaming the large serving bowl is a tricky job. The individual serve might be easier for you. When I need to steam…
