Japanese Braised Pork

I love pairing daikon and meat in braised dishes. Daikon adds such a nice distinct flavour which complements the meat really well. It also acts like a sponge which soaks up all the delicious sauce. So, to carry on the Japanese food craze here, I've m (read full article)

Spicy Sweet & Sour Tofu

I'm not a huge fan of tofu. The only tofu I enjoy eating is Japanese egg tofu 玉子豆腐. It is smooth, creamy and eggy, a bit like undersalted chawan mushi. Other tofu like Silken tofu, however, has a really weird aftertaste and so I often cover t (read full article)
