Salted Daikon Salad (Shio Momi Daikon)

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.

I used to eat Shio Momi Daikon when I was living in Japan, but I had completely forgot about this simple dish until my younger sister came to Sydney with her family recently….

Hero shot of 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…

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 Spicy Sesame Soy Milk Hot Pot.

Spicy Sesame Soy Milk Hot Pot is not a very traditional Japanese hot pot, but it has become increasingly popular in Japan. The basis of the broth is dashi stock and soy milk, but a few ingredients such as tobanjan, rāyu (chilli oil), and white sesame paste are added to make the broth richer and…
