Curry Pork Stir-fry with Capsicum

Curry Pork Stir-Fry with Capsicum is not a dish with a thick curry gravy, but it has a very good curry flavour. Although the name of the dish starts with Curry Pork Stir-Fry, the capsicum is actually the star of this dish. I think this is one of the best ways to eat a lot of capsicum.

Curry flavoured pork mince acts as a seasoning for the sautéed capsicum, giving just the right balance of flavours.

The way I use curry powder to give a curry flavour to the dish is similar to my Japanese Dry Curry Recipe, but I use far less seasoning I use in today’s recipe….

Surprisingly juicy and tasty, Simmered Stuffed Aburaage is a perfect dish to go with rice. It looks like Inarizushi, but the aburaage pouches are stuffed with pork mince. Thinly sliced lotus roots and shiitake mushrooms beneath the aburaage pouches add different textures to the dish. I found a Simmered Stuffed Aburaage recipe in my old…

Hero shot of Tomato and Egg Drop Soup Japanese Way.

My Tomato and Egg Drop Soup is based on Chinese Tomato and Egg Drop Soup, except that I used dashi stock for the soup base. It has a clean and refreshing taste, with a gentle flavouring. The sourness from the tomato goes so well with egg in the simple broth. The Chinese version of the…

Hero shot of Plain chawanmushi with Starchy Clear Sauce.

Unlike my Chawanmushi (Savoury Egg Custard) recipe, Plain Chawanmushi with Starchy Clear Sauce contains nothing inside the savoury egg custard. It is a comforting dish, and you can have it just like a soup. A starchy sauce over the chawanmushi and a little garnish on top make the dish more appetising. Compared to my standard Chawanmushi…

Hero shot of Shiso Garlic Butter Pasta with Yuzu Koshō

As the name suggests, Simple Shiso Garlic Butter Pasta is a quick and easy pasta recipe that uses a plenty of shiso (perilla) leaves. The addition of a distinct Japanese seasoning, yuzu koshō, gives a touch of chilli flavour to the pasta. It’s almost like a Japanese version of pasta peperoncino, except that it has…

Today’s Bento, Chicken Patties Bento, uses pre-made dishes that can either be made a day to several days earlier or frozen. Although the main ingredient is pumpkin, crumbed deep-fried croquettes fill your stomach along with the chicken patties. Chicken Patties Bento is colourful and packed with different flavours. I had to make Chicken Patties Wrapped in…
