I remembered the delicious Agedashi Tofu which I had in a Japanese restaurant the other day, so I decided to try making it at home.2 Tips to make it successful:- Removing the excess water from the tofu helps to keep it in shape and also prevents oil splattering.- When frying the tofu, only touch it when turning it over. If you move it too much, the tofu will fall apart.

“Tenshinhan” is recognized as Chinese dish in Japan, but it was actually born in Japan, which I didn’t know until just now😂It’s easy but fulfilling and looks good too. As I know that my mother, who is a housewife, often cooks this for lunch when she is alone at home(I know this because she sent me URLs of Cookpad Japan’s “Tenshinhan” recipes or her cooksnaps few times before).Today, as I had to take a dinner by myself, I remembered this dish and tried cooking it. I combined 2 recipes from Cookpad Japan and here I would like to save my version.

Having lived in Singapore for around 10 years, Hainan chicken rice is one of my most favorite dishes of all! ❤️I’m always missing the taste in local hawker center, especially Tian Tian in Maxwell food court. My recipe is still very far from that authentic professional level, but I’m confident that this is delicious enough to enjoy at home😁 And it’s so easy too!(You don’t need to prepare a whole chicken or boil it for few hours)Instead of using a Staub pot, you can use a rice cooker to cook chicken and rice too!As for the sauce, please try dark soy sauce if you can buy it as it usually comes together with chicken rice in Singapore. Since it’s not widely available in Japan, this time I made an original sauce(which is also tasty though!).😉*Shiok means delicious in Singlish.

#goldenapron2020 When you want to eat healthy, when you are tired or when you don't have time to cook many dishes, this is what I love to eat! When I'm too tired, I just have much of this soup and white rice. It's called "Detox Soup" in Japan.

Korean yangnyom chicken is one of the most popular foods which we've seen in lots of Korean dramas. When I went to Seoul last time, I found chicken shops everywhere. There are about 36,000 fried chicken restaurants in South Korea(data as of 2016). This is more than the number of McDonald's stores worldwide!!😱💦According to my husband, who is from Korea, yangnyeom chicken is usually not a home-cooked food and people mostly buy or order from outside. However, in overseas, we cannot always find Korean chicken shops. Also, I believe that the homemade one can be a bit more healthier than the one from outside. Therefore, I searched for over 10 recipes from several sources both in Korean and Japanese and made my own original sauce🙌 My husband loved it so it must be close to the authentic one!In Korea, pickled radishes always come together with yangnyeom chicken. I have uploaded the recipe too, so please cook together!!❤️

My comfort food is porridge. When I’m sick or missing home, or just on a chilly morning mood, porridge is my go-to meal.The porridge that I am used to is not the popular bubur McD, but the traditional old school hawker rice porridge with century egg. Some stalls will cook them in a claypot over a charcoal stove which makes the nostalgic frangrance.Century egg has its fan base. It’s either you love it or hate it😂. I am quite a lover.

This soup is traditionally said to have many health benefits and it's especially popular as a way to recover from hangover😅 You might have seen this soup in the K drama too. In many cases, people from K drama are eating this in the morning after too much drinking on the night before...😂If you can find "Korean dried shredded pollock/pollack", then please try making this very comforting soup!! (The best dried pollock is dried by the wind from the sea, which is called "Hwangtae (황태)". Please see the pollack package from my step photo too.)

Have you ever tried natto, fermented soybeans from Japan? In foreign countries, it’s known as stingy and sticky food😅 But I love it and I hope there is natto lover in Cookpad too😂💕We usually eat natto together with white rice, but I sometimes eat with udon noodles which is also good. This time, I added kimchi too! If you have chance to try, please tell me how you like it😁My own challenge in October: #1day1recipe 😆

To make the chicken soft and juicy, I’m adding some sugar when seasoning the chicken. Because sugar works as a natural tenderizer! I learned this tip from Cookpad Japan author.😊This recipe is quick and easy. Basically, fry chicken and add teriyaki sauce in the last step! It’s my family’s favorite and hope you and your family will enjoy too! Looking forward to your cooksnaps ❤️❤️#cppassport

By adding tofu in meat balls, they become very soft and fluffy!!

In recent years, people tend to use store-bought stock cubes when making soup, stew or sauce. I often use them too, but today, I felt like I wanted to try making broth from scratch which must be a healthier choice.This is also a great way to rescue leftover vegetables or even scraps which we tend to just throw away! (And I also read somewhere that the vegetable skins have high nutrients) #cookeverypartWith this recipe, you can enjoy delicious softly boiled vegetables too. You can freeze the remaining stock for the future use when you want to directly eat as soup or use for any dishes instead if using water!(eg. Curry, stew, risotto, etc)

I used to live in Jakarta, Indonesia during my childhood. When I visited my Indonesian friend’s house, her mother cooked us a very delicious and comforting Soto Ayam. Since then, Soto Ayam has been my most favorite Indonesian dish.Back in Japan, unfortunately, there are not many places where they serve Soto Ayam. Therefore, I need to cook at home.This recipe is mainly based on what I found from Cookpad Japan. The recipe writer is Japanese, but it tastes really authentic and reminds me of my childhood days💕Original recipe that I referred to:https://cookpad.wasmer.app/recipe/6129753?view=classic#share_url
