Scrambled Tofu is a delicious vegetarian side dish. Or perhaps you could call it a warm salad. It is a typical home cooking dish and quite simple to make.

Agedashi Tofu (or Agedashi Dofu) is one of the a-la-carte dishes you always find on the menu at Japanese restaurants. It is delicate and simple but so yummy. The sweet soy sauce-based dashi goes so well with deep fried tofu.

Mabodofu (麻婆豆腐) is the Japanese name for “Mapo Tofu”, which is a Chinese dish from Sichuan province. Tofu and ground meat are stir fried with a flavoursome sauce. But the flavour of mabodofu is yet again modified to suit to the Japanese palette and not as spicy as the Chinese version of mapo tofu.

Oden is a kind of hot pot consisting of daikon, potatoes, eggs, Konbu (kelp), konnyaku, and different types of fish cakes, simmered in lightly flavoured soup stock.

A super easy Japanese stir fry from Okinawa, goya chanpuru is full of bonito flakes, which is unique for a stir fry dish and so flavoursome that you will get addicted to it. It is not greasy at all and my version is made with pork slices instead of SPAM which is the real version of goya chanpuru.

Yudofu is a very simple tofu dish which is perfect to eat on a cold day. Hardly any preparation is required.

Yudofu (Tofu Hot Pot)

Tofu with plenty of vegetable in thick sauce. It makes the otherwise a simple tofu so special and pretty.

Katsu curry is just a variation of Japanese curry with a chicken cutlet on top. I have used a store-bought block of Japanese curry roux which is commonly used in Japanese households. Chicken cutlet brings the Japanese curry up to the next level. It’s so yummy and filling.

Yakitori is a Japanese skewered chicken, cooked on a griller with either sweet soy sauce or just salt. You don't marinate chicken! Great for entertaining a big crowd as it is a kind of finger food. It is so tasty and easy to eat that you would not realise you ate so many skewers of chicken!
