Collection - Quick Meal

Tofu mixed in the meat makes the patties bouncy and soft. Flavoured with miso and soy sauce, these chicken patties don’t need sauce to go with them. Shiso (perilla) leaves wrapped around the patties decorate them and give an extra Japanese touch to the dish.

I call it stew but Japanese Meat and Potato Stew is nowhere near the Western style stew. The cooking liquid is based on the usual Japanese flavours of slightly sweetened soy sauce with dashi stock, but is not thickened.

Just like my teriyaki chicken, teriyaki salmon is another popular home cooking dish in Japan.  It is so quick and easy to make. The teriyaki sauce goes so well with pan-fried fish and it is really yummy.

Bite-sized beef steak, Diced Beef Steak is a Japanese invention, easy to pick up with chopsticks. Both sauces are soy-based – one with wasabi flavour, the other one with grated onion, apple and garlic. It is so fast to cook!

Sushi rolls are becoming a popular healthy take-away food in Australia. Most of them are made as large thick rolls, but the sushi rolls made at traditional sushi restaurants are thin, tiny rolls just perfect for finger food.

Japanese Beef bowl (Gyū-don) is a popular one-bowl dish that consists of a bowl of rice topped with thinly sliced beef and onions simmered in sweet soy-flavoured sauce. It is so quick to make, tasty and filling – a perfect mid-week family meal.

A simple braised white radish (daikon) becomes a surprisingly tasty dish when cooked in a thick soy flavoured sauce with pork mince (ground pork). The daikon is cooked until it becomes semi-transparent and tender. The meat sauce has a typical Japanese flavour with dashi, soy sauce, sake, mirin and sugar.

This is not just a simple bowl of udon noodles but curry flavoured noodles with pork, shallots (scallions), aburaage (deep fried tofu) and fish cakes. I made the curry sauce from scratch and flavour is amazing – almost noodle restaurant quality.

This is a white coloured stew made from béchamel sauce. It’s so colourful with the chicken, carrots, potatoes, onions and green peas in it. This stew is also called ‘Cream Stew’ although no cream is added to the sauce and it is not as heavy as it might look.

When sautéed beef slices are dressed with grated daikon and ponzu (citrus soy sauce) dressing, they become a rather light meal instead of a rich and heavy beef dish. Beef with Grated Daikon and Ponzu Dressing is so quick to make.

Breaded, deep fried crispy pork cutlet is one of the top 10 favourite dishes among Japanese people. Quite easy to make and served with a sweet fruity sauce, it is so delicious. Tonkatsu is also the main ingredient in Katsudon.

Tonkatsu (Japanese Pork Schnitzel)

This is a quick Ramen recipe using store bought soup and noodles, but the toppings are homemade. With a little bit of effort to make good toppings, you can enjoy great ramen almost like the ones you order at restaurants.

I was born and raised in Japan and migrated to Australia with my family in 1981. I got tired of my kids constantly asking me for their favourite Japanese recipes, so I decided to collate them in one place so they can help themselves - and now you can too! Read More…
