Top 5 dishes made from small clove Garlic *finely chopped
1 . Spicy Nattō Fried Rice
Spicy Nattō Fried Rice
Nattō, fermented Soy Beans, is a very nutritious and healthy food, but many people hate it because of its smell. I have shared many Nattō recipes on this website. Here is another one you can try. It’s a Spicy Fried Rice cooked with Toban Djan (Chilli Bean Sauce). As Toban Djan is quite salty, DO NOT add too much Soy Sauce. 1 teaspoon is maximum.
Ingredient
1-2 teaspoons
Sesame Oil *OR Oil of your choice
1/2-1 teaspoon
Toban Djan (Chilli Bean Sauce) *OR other Chilli Sauce
1 teaspoon
Soy Sauce
1 container
Nattō
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Cut Pork (OR other meat) into small bite-size pieces. Chop up Garlic and Spring Onion. Mix Nattō with sauce and mustard that should be included in the container. Prepare everything before you start cooking.
* Step 2
Heat Oil in a frying pan over medium high heat and cook Pork and Garlic. When Pork is cooked, very lightly season with Salt & White Pepper, then add Cooked Rice, Spring Onion, Toban Djan and Soy Sauce, and stir to combine.
* Step 3
Add Nattō, stir to combine, and it is done. Enjoy with a refreshing salad. Today I added Lettuce & Cucumber Salad.

2 . Quick & Easy Broccoli Spaghetti
Quick & Easy Broccoli Spaghetti
Using my pan-steam-frying method, cooking Broccoli is quick and easy. If you coarsely chop up, it can be cooked in a few minutes. Just a few tablespoons Water does the magic. I add Bacon but it is optional as it can be vegetarian. This dish can be cooked with OR without Cream. You can add some Chilli as well.
Ingredient
1 tablespoon
Olive Oil
1 rasher
Bacon *about 40g
1/2 head
Broccoli *about 100g
2-3 tablespoons
Water
1-2 tablespoons
grated Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup
Thickened Cream *optional
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Cook Spaghetti in boiling salted water according to the instruction on the package.
* Step 2
Cut Bacon into small pieces. Coarsely chop up Broccoli, so that it would be cooked quickly, but you may cut into small florets.
* Step 3
Heat Olive Oil in a frying pan over medium heat, and cook Bacon pieces until nicely browned. Add Garlic and Broccoli (and Chilli if you add any), add Water, cover with a lid, and cook until water is evaporated.
* Step 4
If you add Cream, add it now. (You can add some grated Parmesan as well.) Then add cooked Spaghetti with some salted water that has been cooking Spaghetti, and mix to combine. Add some Salt and Black Pepper if required, but you probably don’t need extra Salt.
* Step 5
Sprinkle with grated Parmesan Cheese on top and enjoy.
* Step 6
*Note: The photo below is the same dish, that was cooked with Chilli but no Cream.

3 . Mackerel Fried Rice
Mackerel Fried Rice
Mackerel is my favourite fish and I particularly love John West’s canned Mackerel in Brine. Anything with the Mackerel in it is delicious to me, though my husband says it smells fishy. So I cooked this Mackerel Fried Rice just for me. This is a very simple fried rice, quick and easy, and absolutely delicious. If you have cooked fresh Mackerel fillets, that would be even better.
Ingredient
1/4 teaspoon
Salt
1/2 teaspoon
Soy Sauce *alter the amount to suit your taste
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Prepare everything before you started cooking.
* Step 2
Heat Oil and Garlic in a frying pan over medium high heat. When aromatic, add Egg, then add Rice and Spring Onion, and stir to combine.
* Step 3
Season with Salt and White Pepper, add Mackerel, and mix to combine. Add a small amount of Soy Sauce, and mix well.

4 . Stir-fried Instant Ramen
Stir-fried Instant Ramen
‘Instant Ramen Noodles’ is a complete package that comes with Dry Noodles and Seasoning Powder, often with Spices and Flavoured Oil as well. Using the Noodles and Seasoning Powder, I cooked this stir-fry today. As the dish smelled so good, I took this photo in case I would want to share how I cooked it. Well… it was not bad at all. This is how I cooked it.
Ingredient
1/4
Onion *sliced
1 teaspoon
Sesame Oil
1 teaspoon
Sugar
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Prepare Beef and Vegetables.
* Step 2
Heat Oil in a frying pan over medium heat, cook Beef, Garlic and Vegetables. When Vegetables are cooked, add Sugar, Toban Djan (Chilli Bean Sauce) and 2 teaspoons Seasoning Powder that is included in the package.
* Step 3
*Note: Alter the amount of Seasoning Powder, Sugar and Toban Djan to suit your taste. 1/2 teaspoon grated Ginger would be a good addition.
* Step 4
Meanwhile, cook Ramen Noodles in boiling water until soft. Drain and add to the pan, and stir to combine.
* Step 5
Sprinkle with some Toasted Sesame Seeds and enjoy.

5 . Creamy Beef & Mushroom Rice Bowl
Creamy Beef & Mushroom Rice Bowl
Super thinly sliced Beef, that is available from many Asian grocery stores and some supermarkets, is very convenient to use. Today I wanted to cook Beef Stroganoff for my lunch, but I didn’t have Sour Cream. This is what I ended up making, but it was really yummy.
Ingredient
1/4
Onion
10 g
Butter OR Oil
1/2 tablespoon
Plain Flour
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Melt Butter (OR heat Oil) in a frying pan over medium heat, cook Onion, Garlic and Mushrooms for a few minutes, then add Beef.
* Step 2
When Beef changes colour, it won’t take long, season lightly with Salt & Black Pepper, add Flour, and stir. *Note: You can add a small amount of Paprika if you have it.
* Step 3
Add Beef Stock and stir. When the sauce thickens, add Cream, and add extra Salt as required.
