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’.

Mustard Pickled Vegetables are called ‘Karashi-zuke’ in Japan. Eggplant, Daikon, Turnip, and many other vegetables can be pickled. They are quite sweet and have a sharp flavour of Mustard.

I always use Japanese Short Grain Rice for ‘Takikomigohan’, that is a Japanese dish of Rice cooked with other ingredients and seasonings all together.

This Pound Cake is slightly sour. The sourness comes from Apples. You don’t see Apple pieces in this cake, because the Apples were finely grated. As a lot of juice comes out of Apples, you might need to add extra Flour. The cake tastes better when cold, and it stays moist for a few days, …
Today I found a bag of Soy Meat sitting in my pantry. I bought it from an Asian Grocery store when I was planning a Vegan feast for Christmas, but I never used it. So, I cooked my ‘Spicy Pork Soboro Don’ replacing Pork Mince with Soy Meat. The result? Probably no one would notice …
