Tonight my wife and I took on the biggest apple that I have ever seen. In the real world it looked even bigger than the photo. It was a genuine family sized apple and was probably destined to be a wonderful gift rather than simply being snapped up by hungry Australians to eat at home.
Japanese […]
Udon are one of my favourite noodles (up there with soba and somen). This recipe was more like a “empty the cupboard improvisation but it turned out quite good.
First I boiled a pot of water and mixed in the end of a packet of consomme stock cubes. This was only about half strength so I […]
You might have read that some lucky scientists have chanced apon a frozen colossal squid weighing 500kg. While they struggle with the process of defrosting the thing without letting it rot, I thought I would scale up a standard simmered squid with giant white radish recipe for them to use when thay are finished with […]
When I am in Japan I dream of Australian Hamburgers. When I am in Australia I dream of Japanese Tonkatsu (crumbed pork cutlets).
Last week I was in Australia fulfilling my Japanese dream, tonight I am back home in Japan cooking up a Tonkatsu dream meal. A ridiculously large mountain of shredded cabbage and grated carrot. […]
One of the most popular small fish in Japan are these long thin silver missiles called Sanma. They are a dark fleshed and deliciously oily (think Omega 3) fish that takes roughly no time at all to prepare and cook. Cleaning is a 10 second affair and scaling is a waste of time. About 2 […]
More specifically this is an ichigo (strawberry) cookie tart cake stick. What makes an ice cream with artificial strawberry lumps covered in a shell of white chocolate a cake stick?
It tasted great but I have a lot of trouble thinking about cake when I eat it. Worth a try, but don’t expect too much
This is a simple one pan dish that takes literally less than 10 minutes to fry.
Chunks of chicken are dropped into a hot pan with some onion. Follow this with fine mushrooms and sliced piman (green pepper or capsicum) and a decent squirt of sake. When the sake has disappeared throw in some sesame, swirl […]
There is nothing to do with noodles, rice or Asian cooking in this recipe but I’m sure you’ll forgive me if you try it.
This is my own version of bread and butter pudding made from memory so I’m sure it could be improved.
Take about 6 slices of bread without crusts. Butter and Jam them then […]
This is a relatively quick dish that can be cheap if you live in Japan or Canada or expensive if you live somewhere like Australia. I bought my salmon for about 250 yen ($2.50) while it might cost $10 in Australia.
All you need to do is grill some salmon until it is barely cooked and […]
These guys have nothing to do with noodles, rice or Asian cooking but I don’t care. They are Slovakian Easter biscuits, and they are very cool. The biscuits are full of spices and the icing is apparently done by old Slovakian grandmothers (it must take a lot of patience and time). Unfortunately, the details don’t show […]
