This is an absolutely simple stir-fry. Today I used Pork and Fried Tofu, but you can use Pork only, Fried Tofu only, OR Chicken if you prefer. The key element of this dish is the Sauce made with Gochujang (Korean Spicy Miso). This dish is delicious with freshly cooked Rice, but you can enjoy it …
‘Pork Shogayaki’ (Ginger Pork) is a very popular Japanese dish, and it can be enjoyed with freshly cooked Rice, Spaghetti OR Noodles. Today I cooked this Udon dish. If you have already cooked Udon and thinly sliced Pork, it’s absolutely quick and easy to make. Makes 1 Serving Ingredients 1 serving Cooked Udon100g thinly sliced …
The other day, at a Japanese grocery store I found very thinly sliced Pork Belly that was not too fatty, and I bought a few packs. It is so handy to have it in freezer as many dishes can be cooked using it quickly and easily. The hardest part of cooking this ‘Gochujang Pork & …
My daughter gave me a large chunk of Pork Ribs. I planned to bake it, but the weather was just too hot and I didn’t want to use oven. I don’t have BBQ. So, I just simmered them in a pot like my ‘Adobo Inspired Pork Kakuni’. This might be the easiest method to cook …
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 …
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 …
Daikon (White Radish) and Pork are a great combination. I used them for a variety of dishes, but this is a simple soup that can be cooked with those two ingredients only. Of course you can add extra ingredients such as Carrot and Asian Mushrooms. It is a good idea to season the soup strongly, …
‘Takikomigohan’, a Japanese dish of Rice, is something I truly enjoy cooking and eating. It is absolutely easy to cook if you have a rice cooker, as the Rice is cooked with other ingredients and seasonings. It was a life saver for me when I was a busy parent. Today I cooked it with Pork …
This is a recreation of the salad that I ate at a restaurant in Port Douglas, Queensland. The salad I ate at the restaurant was mostly Wombok and there were some small Roast Pork pieces with salty crackling in it. It cost me nearly $30 and I felt totally ripped off. With the same cost, …
I cooked this ‘Boiled Pork Belly’ for a Ramen topping. As it is only lightly salted and has subtle flavour of Soy Sauce, it is suitable for all flavours of Ramen soup. I rolled the Pork Belly for presentation, but it is optional. It can be enjoyed with your favourite sauce. I like to eat …
Chilli triggers severe sweating to me. I can’t tolerate very spicy food, but I love the spiciness of Chilli. Today I wanted to eat something spicy. I still had Kimchi in the fridge, so I decided to make this Udon Soup with the Kimchi. I added 1 tablespoon of Gochujang (Korean Spicy Miso) and Shichimi …
I used to cook this dish with Japanese thin noodles called ‘Somen’, but I use Capellini (Angel Hair Pasta) these days, because Capellini is much easier to find, cheaper, and I like its texture. The sauce has a typical Japanese flavour, that is made with Dashi, Soy Sauce and Mirin. The dish can be enjoyed …
