My The Other Love

Cooking - my the other love. Yes. I loved strolling in supermarkets smelling, touching and enjoying the freshness and provisions of life. It is a good place to enjoy all God's provision for life.

In fact, I had my own cookbook - Makan: a collection of my favourite dishes done my style. Less oil and salt and mostly wholesome. If you guys petition enough, who knows it will be another blog.

For those out there thinking of picking up cooking. Plunge into it. Don't get too concerned about how it will turn out. As long as it comes from the heart, it tastes good - that is the secret of cooking. That's why home cooking don't fail to impress. Here is something simple to impress your spouse and children.

Go to any supermart, NTUC is where I got these from. Look for prepacked furikake (a rice topping), miso soup and Tay's sanma kabayaki (grilled sanma fish). To spice it up, get a pack of dried seaweed and tofu.

Cook Japanese rice and top it up with furikake. The children will love it. It can be a meal by itself if you are sick of hawker food.

Boil some water and throw in the prepacked miso soup base. Add seawead (you got to soak it first) and tofu for the added calcium.

For Tay's grilled sanma fish, follow the instructions (just boil the packet if you are using all the contents or microwave if you just need one or two.

Serve it along with some salad - Japanese cucumbers (drizzle with a little soya sauce) or make your salad. Tasteful food without using the wok.

Here is my Japanese style potato salad and greens in seasme dressing with the grilled sanma and miso soup with rice topped with furikake.


By the way, Tay's has prepacked Japanese teriyaki chicken, teriyaki chicken balls, kariage chicken....... so you can change your main course as you go along. So you got at least five kinds of bento for your family.

It is that simple.

Bon appetit.
