I didn’t want to cook a simple steak with vegetables and some sort of carb so I was inspired by the Gyudon (beef bowl) by Gyu Nami to come up with this dish which can be easily replicated at home. But unlike Gyu Nami, I didn’t use wagyu and it turned out really yummy so...
Ingredients: 1 serving of soba (oops…called it ramen in the video) 1 cup frozen spinach 100g of frozen shabu shabu beef (approx 4-5 slices) 1 tbsp miso (doesn’t matter if it’s red or white miso but get the one that has dashi inside) Method: Boil some water and add the noodles to cook. The water...
I decided to slave away in the kitchen to celebrate my parents’ birthday and upon request of my mother, I made my signature Century Egg Tofu as an appetiser. I also added a bit of shirataki noodles tossed with fish roe but it wasn’t quite mentaiko, so the taste was a little disappointing. For mains,...
These wonderfully fresh and succulent oysters from Hiroshima are only S$1++ each! They’re delightfully topped with a bit of soy sauce, spring onions and grated radish. Yup, it’s really $1 each. Where is this place you ask? It’s Teru Japanese restaurant located at the boutique Link Hotel in Tiong Bahru. My friends and I went...
Spotted salmon heads being sold at Meidi-ya (our go-to place for Japanese products) supermarket and they were only going for S$1.50 for half a head. Being the fish head loving girl that I am, I went on to buy 2 halves and decided to cook it the next day. Shioyaki literally means grilling with salt....
I had bought this box of Caramel Brownie mix from Muji in March but haven’t had the chance to bake them till this week. Thank goodness for packaging and to a certain extent, natural preservatives! Anyway, these pre-mix boxes were going at 30% off their usual price of S$12.90 so I figured, why not? Note...
Had a really bad stomach last night that resulted in cramps this morning (doc said that my bowels were still irritated) so it was home to rest and a light lunch to follow. So, I whipped up this super easy and healthy lunch for myself. Ingredients:1 fish fillet (you can use salmon/dory/snapper)1 serving of soba...
I am quite looking forward to when I have the time to try out some of the recipes! 楽しみに #inchefmode A photo posted by melfann (@melfann) on Mar 7, 2015 at 5:52am PST Bought this the other day and I can’t wait to try some of the recipes! However, it is proving a little difficult...
This dish is immensely satisfying. Especially to the Chinese in me. It is a bowl that has the perfect combination of protein, carbs, savouriness (if there’s such a word as this), omega-3 and creaminess. Ochazuke refers to a simple Japanese dish of rice that’s poured with tea, hot water or hot soup. In this case,...
