This is a Brussel Sprouts version of ‘Pan-fried Broccoli & Cheese’ that I frequently cook for dinner. The other day I cooked ‘Pan-fried Garlic Butter Brussels Sprouts’, but I decided to add Cheese, because Brussels Sprouts are not popular among male members of my family. They ate these Brussel Sprouts. All of them. Makes 4 …

Makes 2 Servings Ingredients 300ml Milk2 …
I made ‘Corn Starch Matcha Milk Jelly’ the other day. I wanted to eat it with Matcha Syrup, but I didn’t bother making it. I was just about to pour Condensed Milk instead, then this idea hit me. Why don’t I add Matcha Powder to the Condensed Milk? So I did. It’s a super quick …
If you stir-fry fresh Spinach, a lot of water would come out of it, and the water has unpleasant taste. I strongly recommend to blanch Spinach before you stir-fry it, so that you won’t have the unpleasant taste, and also you can reduce oxalic acid that can cause health problems. This is a very simple …
In January in Melbourne where I live, shops are full of summer fruits. White Peaches are spacial to me because I grew up in Okayama prefecture, Japan, that produces White Peaches, and it is famous for ‘Momotarō’ (Peach Boy) folktale. Today I made this Granita, a simple summer dessert. If you have sweet and fragrant …
I eat Baby Spinach uncooked, but I strongly believe Spinach should be blanched before using it for cooking. Spinach is high in oxalic acid that can cause health problems. First of all, Spinach tastes nicer if it is blanched, even in a simple stir-fry. This is how I blanch Spinach. If you want to use …

One of my family’s favourite dinner menus is Stir-fried Tomatoes. The essential ingredients are Tomatoes, Garlic and Soy Sauce. Today I added Egg and Harusame Noodles (Bean Thread Noodles). Harusame Noodles sucked up the yummy sauce and they were absolutely delicious! This recipe is supposed to be for 4 servings but I ate half of …
I was given a very ripe Papaya. I am actually not a big fan of Papaya, which flavour is very bland. I tasted the Papaya that I was given, and it was VERY soft and VERY sweet. I knew I wouldn’t enjoy eating it, but I didn’t want to waste it. Then I decided to …
I love ‘Black Fungus’, that is an edible wood fungus similar to mushrooms. It’s a bad naming, isn’t it? You may call it by a different name. This is a quick and easy rice bowl, but it takes time to soften Dried Black Fungus. Start soaking them in water at least 30 minutes before you …
