Sometimes an accident leads to an invention. Today I found a Sweet Potato in my pantry getting mouldy. I cut off all the bad bits and there was about 160g good bit left. I boiled it to make Kimchi Salad for lunch but I forgot about it. Sweet Potato was…
This creamy soup has no dairy product added. I didn’t add Flour either. The soup is thick and creamy because of Oats. My ‘Miso Oats Porridge’ inspired me to make this soup. Adding Oats is absolutely the easiest way to make a soup thick and creamy. You may wish to…
I used to make a pasta dish using these three ingredients, Spinach, Sweet Potato & Fetta. Many years ago, I had the pasta dish at a small cafe in Melbourne CBD. I fell in love with it, and I started making it. These days, I often leave out the pasta…
‘Dorayaki’ is two small pancake-like sponge wrapped a filling. The most popular filling is ‘Tsubu-an’ (Sweet Azuki Paste), but you can use any filling as there is no rule. Today I made with Sweet Potato Paste. You can reduce the amount of Sugar when you make the paste, so that…
On the other day, when I shared my ‘Kimchi Potato’ recipe on my Facebook page, a person posted his comment that he loved Kimchi & Sweet Potato. He also posted a photo of a dish of Kimchi & Sweet Potato that he cooked. That photo inspired me to make this…
If the above video doesn’t load for you, click here to see it on TikTok! I love kimchi. I love Korean banchan dishes. But somehow, I have the worst of luck when it comes to making them. A few years ago, I made a big batch of kimchi. I set…
My Family’s Potato Salad always reminds us my mother’s kitchen. It’s a special salad for my family and everyone loves it. It is not hard to make but it is time consuming. This ‘Broccoli Potato Salad’ is almost identical but much easier to prepare as I don’t mash the Potatoes.…
I have seen a lovely looking dish of roasted Broccoli and Potatoes mixed with Garlic and Anchovy. Sounds really good, doesn’t it? But, today I didn’t want to use the oven. If it is just Broccoli, I would cook it in a frying pan. But I needed to cook Potatoes…
We’re making sweet potato fries! For… reasons. Which you will see tomorrow. These fries turned out tasty, but contrary to the original recipe mine were not crispy AT ALL. Possibly because I used cornstarch instead of arrowroot powder? Not sure… but it’s okay, because the fries don’t need to be…
Japanese Sweet Potato is one of the vegetables that I miss. There is a popular food called ‘Daigaku Imo’ (大学芋) that is deep-fried Japanese Sweet Potato and coated with sweet and savoury glaze. I have tried to make it using Sweet Potatoes that are available in Australia and none of…
On the other day, I overcooked Potato and I couldn’t make what I meant to cook with it. So I just chucked it into a baking dish, added Canned Salmon, squeeze some Japanese Mayonnaise over, cover with some leftover Cheese, then baked it. The result was not bad at all.…
Everyone would love this simple dish. It’s a ‘Kimpira’ dish, a stir-fried vegetables seasoned with Soy Sauce and Mirin (Sugar). When you need just one more side dish for dinner or something to fill a space in your Bento Box, this dish is perfect. You only need Potato and Carrot.…
My husband has recently become friends with an amazing woodworker, whose family has its roots in Hungary. I thought about Hungarian cuisine. I don’t know much about it, but Hungarian Salami is famous. Then I created this recipe. It’s super easy, yet seriously delicious. SERIOUSLY!!! Makes 4 Servings Ingredients 3…
This is another ‘Tofu Curry’ that I cooked on a meat-free Monday. As some people find Tofu tastes ‘yucky’ even in such a strong curry flavour (and I hardly understand that), I added Cashews. The creamy nutty Cashews and Tofu go very well together. Use Indian Curry seasoning or Asian…
Potato salad sushi! I had originally intended to make this for Potato Day (August 19th), but then we pushed back the start date for our channel and… I didn’t rearrange my video schedule properly. Oops. Oh well! This was a surprisingly good roll. I was expecting the two bland carbs…
No comment about the wiggly Ketchup, please! I have shaky hands. This dish is similar to ‘Omu-rice (Omelette Rice)’ but much easier to prepare. Beef Mince can be replaced with thinly sliced off-cut Beef or Pork, but you can actually cook whatever you like. This is a great dish particularly…
Have you got leftover roasted Sweet Potato or Pumpkin? Using the leftovers, you can make chewy and rubbery ‘Mochi’ that can be a great snack. Enjoy as they are, or with Soy Sauce as a dipping sauce. Makes 8 to 10 Mochi Cakes Ingredients 1 cup Roasted Sweet Potato (OR…
My family enjoyed ‘Jacket Potato With Spicy Miso Pork’ very much, and I have been inspired to create another Asian topping for baked potatoes. This is Korean inspired ‘Bulgogi Beef’. Using Beef Mince, it’s easy to cook! Makes 4 Servings Ingredients 4 Large Potatoes500g Beef Mince1 Onion *finely sliced1 teaspoon…
