Sesame and sesame
Tonight my wife cooked for us (always a welcome occurrence). She cooked brown rice and served green veges, mushrooms and sesame chicken with a sesame dipping sauce. Why do I never think of good ideas like that?

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 […]
Just another 5 minute stir fry explosion today. Chicken breast cut across the grain into strips. Green vegetables, mushrooms, sake and mirin. All fried together until the chicken is cooked. Served on rice with Shichimi 7 spices.
Try this, over the weekend.
A breast of chicken cut into strips
A handful of mushrooms, I used Japanese winter mushrooms but any sort should do
A small handful of chopped onion ( I used naga negi but who cares)
A bunch of green veges
A couple of packets of udon noodles (the wider the better)
A drop of oil
A splash […]
Choosing onigiri for me is a bit of a lottery. I can’t read a lot of the wrappers so I just take a random selection.
This time I came up with quite a surprise. Chicken Kimchi inside. Since when does a Korean dish belong inside a Japanese rice ball. Unusual but very good.

Here is another nabe recipe for you. This one was cooked for us by our good friend Kazuyo. She made it look easy, but she always does.
The big ingredients are chrysanthemum leaves, chicken legs, tofu, enoki mushrooms, shiitaki mushrooms, naga negi onions and noodles. These are all cooked in a stock of sake, water and […]
This is the last post I will be writing in my loose series on Matsuri food (but I am heading to another Matsuri this weekend so I reserve the right to go back on my word). I have left this to last, because I wasn’t sure that I should let the world see the bad […]
No picture for this one, sorry. But it’s the easiest chicken dish ever, so you’ll want to add it to your summer repertoire. We had some green salad with ginger-miso dressing for starters, plus rice and steamed eggplant.
1 whole chicken fryer, 3-4 pounds
2 cups water in a large pot
1/4 cup sake
1/2 cup shoyu […]
It seems that every country has a tradition of something like an omelet. The Japanese have refined this to a cultural staple with their instantly recognisable Omu-raisu.
The simplest description is to call this a rice combination, wrapped in an omelet. The main distinctive points are the characteristic elliptical shape and the mass of tomato sauce/ketchup […]
Another Filipino dish, this time one for the grill, just in time for summer barbecuing! Chicken Inasal is an Ilonggo dish, or more specifically a Bacolod dish. The chicken pieces, imbued with a reddish hue from achuete or annatto seeds, is nothing but appealing to your sight, but it’s the smell of inasal […]
