This salad is so good and I can’t stop eating it. 200g Iceberg Lettuce torn into bite-size pieces might look far too much for 4 servings, but you need it. You might wish if you had made more. It is yummy and addictive. Makes 4 Servings Ingredients 200g Iceberg Lettuce…

Parsley has grown like a jungle in my herb garden. I decided to make Tabbouleh, so that I can use a lot of Parsley. I love Tabbouleh, but it is not very popular among my family members as they don’t like the overwhelming Parsley and Mint. So I added Green…
I used my ‘Garlic Sesame Dressing’ to make this Tuna & Cabbage Salad. This salad can be enjoyed as a side dish, but today I made it into a rice bowl as the flavour of this salad goes well with Rice. It is a very filling dish, but it’s quite…
I am very fond of Pearl Barley and use it for soups and salads, and I even stir-fry it. To cook Pearl Barley, I often use my rice cooker. Today I cooked Pearl Barley and Chickpeas together in the rice cooker. Of course, you can use canned Chickpeas and cook…
I first made this salad with ‘Goma-ae’ sauce that is made with Toasted Sesame Seeds, Sugar and Soy Sauce. It was delicious as it was, but I added extra stuff as we often do. It turned a really nice salad. I am now writing down how I made it. Makes…
Simple is often the best. ‘Tuna & Mayo’ is a yummy combination. I knew Broccoli would go well with it. Then I added Sweet Corn and a little bit Onion. Such a super simple salad, so easy to make, and so delicious. You can cook Broccoli as you like, but…
Snow Fungus, aka White Jelly Mushroom, is a popular cooking ingredient in many Asian countries. Dried Snow Fungus is available form most Asian grocery stores. I use it mainly for salad and soup. The texture of Snow Fungus is similar to Black Fungus. I love its crunchiness. Makes 4 Servings…

When I was a uni student many decades ago, some of my good friends were living in the apartment called ‘Mimosa House’, and they introduced me the ‘Mimosa Salad’. The base salad could be Potato Salad or Green Salad, but we called any salads ‘Mimosa Salad’ if they were covered…
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.…
This dish is totally identical to my ‘Curry Flavoured Smoked Sausage & Potato Salad’. I simply replaced Potatoes with Cauliflower. I always use European style Smoked Sausages such as Bratwurst, Rookwurst or Kransky that is very common in Australia. The sausages can be quite salty, so please add Salt &…
