Yesterday I found some nice, finely sliced, New Zealand lamb, so I cooked this up in celebration.
A big handful of sliced lamb along with about the same amount of shredded konyaku (rinsed and boiled for a couple of minutes) cooked over medium heat with a little oil until half cooked.
Then I add a cake of […]
Last week we received these as an omiege (travelling souvenir) from a friend. They are very soft and mildly chewy apple jelly sweets. Absolutely delicious and unstoppable, they disappeared as soon as the box was opened. Does anyone know where these come from (I think I should know so I am a little embarrassed to […]
Take some thin sliced pork, a mixture of vegetables (I had little spinach, bean sprouts, long onion, and a little daikon). Stir fry them over medium heat for a bit less than 10 minutes. Then when it is all just about cooked squeeze on a half a lemon and a generous shake of salt and […]
Apparently Japanese sweet potato will fit into anything. These are a line of little chocolates that I just spotted in the supermarket. I chose the sweet potato version out of curiosity and I was well rewarded. They are a block of milk chocolate topped with white chocolate and in the middle is a sort of […]
Dashy granules, water, miso paste a few frozen scallops and a cut up green shallot.
In five minutes you can have your miso soup on the table, probably even less. The only trick is getting the proportions right. For 3 cups of water I drop in a small desert spoonful of miso and a bit less […]
I’m thinking of renaming this site Matcha Chocolate reviews. It seems like every second post has involved either Matcha, chocolate or both. Surely this will have to end soon?
This time we have a more upper class version. Only a small layer of chocolate (and it is quite nice chocolate) sandwiching a block of matcha flavoured […]
Choco Flake should be a part of any balanced diet. However the new White Choco Flake is even more important from a nutritional point of view. I can’t vouch for the taste as I am not so fond of white chocolate at the best of times. However the picture of creamy milk on the packet […]
Sometimes I get sick of weird food, other times I can’t get enough. You may have noticed a string of strange food appearing on noodles and rice recently. Not to change the trend too soon my daughter found this little gem. She is only 2 and so to give her a choice in the fridge […]
At the station the other day I saw this packet and my curiosity got the better of me. What exactly is an American Soft? Well it turns out that it is actually a soft chewy sort of cookie (American style???). This particular version was Matcha green tea flavoured and had big chunks of milk chocolate and […]
I recently tried something that I didn’t even know existed. Japanese people call it sweet prawn (ebi) and it is simply extremely fresh raw prawns that are loaded with prawn eggs. The eggs are the grey stuff that you can barely see around the legs of the prawn in the photo. The deal is that […]
