Bonito Tataki (Seared Bonito) is the representative sashimi dish of Kōchi prefecture. When the bonito skin is seared and charred, it gives an appetising aroma to the sashimi. Slice the fillets thicker than usual sashimi slices and eat them with ponzu dressing.

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.

Braised White Radish with Pork Mince (Daikon no Soboro-an)

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.

White Stew (Cream Stew)

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.
