Roasted pork ribs


It's not a Japanese dish but roasted Chinese pork ribs with the same flavoring as Char Siu. But I must show it as it looks so fantastic and it tastes so superbly. Also, one of my resolutions to further improving my cooking of pork ribs and Char Siu.

Japanese soft yolk boiled egg


I am very proud of myself for mastering the cooking of the famous Japanese soft boiled egg (半熟卵). It is one of my favorites and it goes well with noodles and rice.

Instant Ramen


This is one of my favorite: Japanese instant ramen topped with nori strips, green onions, corns and slices of Japanese Cha-Shu. Very suitable as a quick lunch bite...

Furofuki Daikon


This is a very popular home made dish in Japan. It is white radish cut into bite-size and then have it shimmered in a broth of dashi, shoyu and mirin. A very light veg dish that goes well with steamed white rice...

Japanese Gyoza


Japanese gyoza according to the recipe of Harumi Kurihara. Unlike the usual Chinese jiaozi, this version of gyoza has is open at one end of the skin, the fillings are entirely minced fresh shrimps with shredded Chinese chives. The taste is superb!

Steamed Asari Clams


This is a very fresh tasting seafood dish with Asari clams steamed in Ponzu soy sauce. The tanginess of the Ponzu soy sauce provides a contrast in flavor with the clams.

Cha-Shu Gohan


Cha-Shu Gohan is the Japanese version of the Cantonese Cha-Siu Fan. It is steamed rice topped with cubes of Japanese style Cha-Shu, shredded scallion, nori strips and a dash of shoyu.
