This is the dish of ‘Okonomiyaki’, Frittata and Pizza combined. The base is Frittata, that contains a lot of shredded Cabbage just like ‘Okonomiyaki’, and it is baked like Pizza with cheese and toppings of your choice. This time I used Kransky sausages. It tastes brilliant and you can eat a lot of vegetables. Makes …
Have you tried my ‘Tofu Chocolate Truffles’? Tofu can be used for sweets. This is another example. Simply mix the drained Silken Tofu with softened Cream Cheese, and add Lemon and Sugar. Today I added some Mango, but naturally you can use any fruit. Makes 2 Servings Ingredients 150g Silken Tofu *drained4 tablespoons (60g) Cream …
I want to suggest this cream alternative to those with lactose intolerance. Ingredient is just Silken Tofu, that is the softest and very smooth type Tofu made by coagulating thick soy milk without curdling it. As Silken Tofu has high water content, I recommend to drain off the excess water before blending it into cream. …
When I cook Thai Curry for dinner, I want to serve with a Thai salad. However, some of my family members are ‘Coriander Haters’. There is nothing I can do because their taste perception is different. They have particular receptors that find coriander tastes like soap. I strongly believe that coriander is the essential ingredient …
My ‘Nametake Enoki’ is delicious with freshly cooked rice. However, even I get a bit bored with the same soy sauce flavour. This time I tried a different flavour inspired by Korean ‘Namul’ and I love it. You can sprinkle with some finely chopped Spring Onion or Chilli Powder as well. You may wish to …
On the other day I heard a popular Radio show personality was talking about Tofu. He said that Tofu was tasteless and disgusting. I wanted to cook Tofu for him! I like Tofu’s natural taste. Tofu is so versatile and can be seasoned in many different flavours. Here is another Tofu dish. In this Green …
I don’t mind to take a shortcut when I make an ice cream dessert. I simply add extra ingredients to a good quality vanilla ice cream. This ‘Orange & Chocolate Ice Cream’ is of course super easy to make, but tastes absolutely amazing. For a weeknight’s quick & easy dessert or to entertain your friends, …
I am feeling lucky to have good access to a larger variety of Asian mushrooms in Melbourne these days. Today I cooked another Mazegohan, a dish of cooked rice mixed with separately cooked & seasoned other ingredients, with plenty of mushrooms. If you like my ‘Asian Mushroom Takikomigohan’, you will certainly enjoy this ‘Asian Mushroom …
There is a green grocer near my home and they started selling Asian vegetables. Garlic Chives, ‘Nira’ in Japanese, used to be impossible to find, but they are available everyday!!! Garlic Chive are not categorised as herb. Those long, flat, green leaves, often sold in big bunches, are vegetable and I can use them for …
Here is another dish for you to try on Meat-Free-Mondays. Tofu is the key ingredient for this dish and I recommend to use soft type such as Silken or Momen (Cotton). You can add more vegetables and Asian mushrooms to it. In that case, you need to use a larger frying pan and more sauce. …
We don’t need to feel guilty to make shortcuts. Shortcuts can be clever tricks. I used to make ‘Matcha Ice Cream’ from scratch. Matcha Ice Cream is one of the food that I have to make if I want to eat. It’s not available where I live. If you are in the same situation, try …
This is a great topping for Ice Cream or Creamy Dessert. You can actually mix it with Ice Cream. Matcha’s bitterness goes so well with Vanilla and White Chocolate flavours.
