Simmered Layered Cabbage and Mince is a similar recipe to my Cabbage Rolls, except you don’t roll the mince in cabbage. Instead, you alternate layering the cabbage leaves and ground meat to form a dome shape.
It is easier to make than cabbage rolls because you don’t need to wrap each portion in a cabbage leaf. The cooking method is similar to cabbage rolls, but I added tomato paste to the broth for a change, and I like the rich colour of the broth….
Salted Daikon Salad (Shio Momi Daikon) is almost like the preparation stage of daikon before it becomes part of a more complex dish. You only need daikon and salt, and it takes about 15 minutes, including 10 minutes of sweating time. Because of the extreme simplicity, you can truly enjoy the raw daikon flavour. It…

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…
