This is a variation of ‘Kakiage’ Tempura, and the mixture has a resemblance to the ‘Okonomiyaki’ mixture because Cabbage is commonly used. However, you can use other vegetables such as Onion, Broccoli, Cauliflower, etc. You can shallow fry the mixture into mini pancakes if you prefer.

Cut Squid into very small pieces as well. Today I cut everything into about 8mm size pieces.

Superb idea! Mine ended up too squishy because I used zucchini but tasted good! Do you mind if I post modified recipe?

‘Nuta’ Spring Onion Salad With Miso Dressing ‘Nuta’ Spring Onion Salad With Miso Dressing

‘Nuta’ is a type of Japanese vinegared dish that is dressed with sweet miso sauce. Most commonly Japanese Green Onions are used, but I have no option here in Melbourne but to use Spring Onions. Seafood such as Octopus, Squid and Clams are popular addition to ‘Nuta’. Today I used Squid Tentacles, but my favourite is Octopus Tentacles, that is too hard to find where I leave.

Kiwi & Cauliflower Vitamin C Salad for Beautiful Skin Kiwi & Cauliflower Vitamin C Salad for Beautiful Skin

Cauliflower & kiwi salad, filled with vitamin C which is essential for beautiful skin. I made this recipe because I wanted to eat them a lot together. It's been my family's favorite recipe for 10 years. My boys love it, too.It also helps to relieve stress.I recommend to keep the crunchy texture of cauliflower when you boil it.Mustard dressing is really tasty with the sweetness of the kiwi and sourness of the lemon.To speed up the process I use a store-bought tube for the garlic, but you can mince a clove of sautéed garlic instead. For 2 servings. Recipe by soyumina

Cauliflower - Broccoli..the Perfect Boil!!! Cauliflower - Broccoli..the Perfect Boil!!!

I have the perfect trick for cooking cauliflower or broccoli al dente. I think there's nothing worse than overcooked or completely undercooked cauliflower or broccoli. It's not a matter of luck to achieve the perfect boil, just a little trick...

Really Popular Crispy Deep Fried Cauliflower Really Popular Crispy Deep Fried Cauliflower

My husband's parents grow cauliflower. But it was getting pushed aside by broccoli and wasn't that popular! So I thought up this recipe in an attempt to enjoy cauliflower in a tasty way.This is great with broccoli, too! But cauliflower is a lot better! For 2 servings. Recipe by Shuumiri.

An Izakaya Standard Stir-fried Squid An Izakaya Standard Stir-fried Squid

A friend of my mother's taught me this recipe. Apparently it's a standard item at izakaya.Avoid overcooking the squid! If you do, it'll become hard and dry. Turn off the heat when you think it's cooked through! You can add ponzu sauce after turning off the heat.If there's a lot of liquid in the pan, remove the squid, simmer down the liquid, and pour over the squid. Recipe by Haranouenoponyoponyo

Nanohana and Squid with Gochujang Nanohana and Squid with Gochujang

10 years ago I used to go to a Korean cooking class in Ogikubo, Tokyo. I took the nanohana recipe I learned there and added squid and a little gochujang sauce to come up with my own variation.You might think that gochujang sauce is complicated! But you just have to chop and grate and mix things in order.I buy fresh sashimi-grade squid in the evening when it goes on half-price sale at the supermarket, peel it and freeze it to use in cooked dishes too. For the gochujang sauce, you can use commercial ponzu sauce instead of the soy sauce, lemon juice, vinegar and sugar. Adjust the amount of sugar used depending on the gochujang you have.

Broccoli Cauliflower Cheese Broccoli Cauliflower Cheese

i do this for people who don't like cauliflower. I love both so I mix it up and the broccoli adds more colour. I used leftover broccoli and cauliflower from Christmas but cooking from fresh is fine. leaving out one and using more of the other is great too

Easy Simmered Taro Roots and Squid Easy Simmered Taro Roots and Squid

I never ate much simmered food as a child, but as I grew up, I came to understand how delicious it can be.I make this all the time in the winter.The squid will go tough if you overcook it.Since the squid is simmered again with the satoimo at the end, be quick seasoning it in Step 2.You can get a great aroma by grating Yuzu peel and sprinkling it on top.

Tempura and Ginger Soy Sauce Tempura and Ginger Soy Sauce

Tempura is an extremely easy dish to make, little effort with amazing results. In this recipe I added a number of commonly used ingredients to deep fry. Choose your favourite meat, vegetables, seafood or fish to deep fry. Of course fresh produce will always taste better but you can use frozen as well. The dipping sauce recipe I found on the Jamie Oliver website.

Easy to Make at Home Okonomiyaki Easy to Make at Home Okonomiyaki

I often go to okonomiyaki restaurants, but one day I wanted to eat okonomiyaki at home.These will taste more delicious with lots of yamaimo yam. When you are frying, don't press down on the okonomiyaki. There's a lot of cabbage, but if you shape the mixture carefully during Step 5, it will stick together. Recipe by Mikabon888
