‘Nametake’ is cooked Enoki Mushrooms in sweet soy sauce flavour. It has gelatinous slimy texture and very popular in Japan as a condiment for Rice. It is also good to eat with Tofu. Today I made a rice bowl dish using the three foods, Rice, Tofu and ‘Nametake’. If you like Tofu, you would enjoy …
I discovered this dish, that was known as ‘German Potato’ in Japan, when I was a uni student, and it was decades ago. It is still very popular as ‘German Potato’. I wonder what German people think about this naming of the dish. I know there is a German salad that looks like this dish, …
I am a big fan of Chestnut desserts. ‘Mont Blanc Cake’ is very special to me, and ‘Chestnut Bavarois’ is one of my favourite desserts. Today I altered my ‘Chestnut Bavarois’ recipe and made this ‘Chestnut Mousse Cake’. I wanted to decorate it with Marron Glacé, but it was too hard to find. So, I …
I was planning to make ‘Chestnut Mousse Cake’ and I wanted to decorate it with Marron Glacé. However, there is no store that sells Marron Glacé where I live, and the online purchase would cost a fortune. So, I decided to make them by myself. However, peeling Chestnuts would be too hard for my aching …
I have a great recipe of ‘Cheesy Potato Bake’ that I have been cooking for decades, but it takes more than 1 hour to cook. When I want to serve ‘Cheesy Potato Bake’ for dinner but don’t have enough time, this is what I cook. White Sauce can be made in the microwave very quickly. …
In Australia, Chipolatas are small Pork OR Beef Sausages. I first made this dish when I saw a dish made with Chipolatas and Canned Baked Beans. I don’t like Canned Baked Beans, so I used Canned Cannnellini Beans and Tomatoes. This is a quick & easy family dish for a busy person. This kind of …
Last night, I really wanted to eat a lemony sweet. But I was too tired to make anything. Then, I decided to make ‘Instant Mug Cake’ that is super quick and easy. I poured a mixture of Lemon Juice and Sugar over it. It didn’t take 5 minutes to make it. But this lemony mug …
I often use Toban Djan (Chilli Bean Sauce) to cook spicy food, but I started using Gochujang (Korean Spicy Miso) and I am loving it. Today I added 1 tablespoon (that is same as 3 teaspoons) Gochujang and IT WAS HOT!!! I instantly started sweating, my nose got runny, my eyes got watery, and my …
There is a food called ‘Soba-Gaki’ in Japan. It’s a sticky thick paste made with Buckwheat Flour and Water. You can roll this paste into small balls to make these 100% Buckwheat Flour Dumplings. Mixing Buckwheat Flour and boiling hot water is the popular method to make the paste, but I recommend NOT to use …
I often add Chicken OR Pork to this type of Glutinous Rice dish, but making it Vegan is easy. I used Abura-age (Fried Thin Tofu) for this Vegan version. It’s a good source of protein and a wonderful flavour comes out of it. I added Edamame as well, so this dish contains plenty of protein. …
Here is another dish that you can make with 1 small can of Mackerel. I mixed it with Sour Cream and Dill. If you don’t have Sour Cream, Cream Cheese and Mayonnaise can be used. You don’t have Dill? Then use Parsley OR Chives. This mixture is delicious with Bread and Crackers. It’s a perfect …
