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,...

My Special Tofu with Mentaiko
You can find the recipe for my special tofu here. In light of the mentaiko that my bro bought, I added that to the top of my tofu to add in yet another dimension of flavours. The last time I made this, I added salmon roe. I love both versions and it does make a...

Mentaiko Shirataki with Pumpkin and Wakame
As explained in my previous post, my brother bought mentaiko from Japan and this led me to cooking a 4-course dinner for my family. This is the 2nd course of Mentaiko Shirataki with Pumpkin and Wakame (seaweed). Shirataki is noodles made from Konjac and is almost calorie free. It is high in fibre and thus,...

Easy Mentaiyaki Prawns, Aubergines (Eggplant) and Okra
My brother bought Mentaiko, which is cured spicy pollock roe, from Japan and as you can see from above, it comes in the sacs and there are 2 versions – the ‘colourless’ one and the super orange type. The one above is the ‘colourless’ version. As such, it does not give a vibrant pink when...

Easy Pea & Spinach Soup

Healthy Brunch – Scrambled Eggs, Roasted Mushrooms and Smashed Avocado
Was supposed to meet a friend for lunch but she texted me in the morning to say that she wasn’t feeling well. As such, I decided to go to the gym and after a workout, you naturally don’t want to eat junk food and I’m really trying to lay off the gluten. I wanted to...

Kimchi ‘Sukiyaki’ with Beef and Shirataki
One of my favourite restaurants, Sho Teppan, has decided to take the Kimchi soup base off their menu and as such, I’m forced to recreate my favourite dish at home! What a girl needs to do in order to satisfy her cravings… Anyway, this is a lot cheaper than eating at a restaurant (obviously) and...

Almost Vegan Salad
I call this my Almost Vegan Salad because it is almost all non-animal except that I had to add in mussels, which vegans can opt not to have. Haha…this is a very simple salad that is rich in iron, omega 3 and fibre. Very suitable for those who are on a low gluten, low carb...

Seafood Spinach Wholemeal Pizza
This picture may not look much because the lighting couldn’t really capture the pizza in its glory but it’s a really yummy homemade pizza with salmon, mussels, spinach and an egg in the middle. I even drizzled some truffle oil on top for an extra oomph. Yup, I made everything from scratch simply because I...
