Top 5 dishes made from Potato Starch OR Corn Starch *mixed with 1 tablespoon Water
1 . Black Fungus & Egg Soup
Black Fungus & Egg Soup
Today I added Black Fungus to my ‘Simple Egg Soup’ and seasoned it with Oyster Sauce instead of Soy Sauce. This soup was so comforting and I enjoyed the crunchy Black Fungus. It’s getting cold in Melbourne where I live. This is a perfect soup to enjoy with freshly cooked Rice.
Ingredient
1/2 teaspoon
Sesame Oil
1 tablespoon
Oyster Sauce *OR Soy Sauce, 1 tablespoon is 15ml
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Soak Dried Black Fungus in water in a small bowl until softened. You can use hot water to speed up. Wash very well, drain, and cut in half if large.
* Step 2
Place Chicken Stock, Sesame Oil, Oyster Sauce (OR Soy Sauce) and Black Fungus in a saucepan, and bring to the boil. Simmer for a few minutes, and add Salt & White Pepper to taste. *Note: The amount of Salt depends on the saltiness of the Stock.
* Step 3
Add Potato Starch mixture to the boiling soup as you stir. Once the soup is thickened, add whisked Egg slowly in a circular motion into the soup, but do not stir straight away. When the Egg is softly set, gently stir.
* Step 4
Add some finely chopped Spring Onion and enjoy.

Easy Hot & Sour Soup with Udon
It was my daughter who introduced me Hot & Sour Soup. She uses a variety of ingredients and it takes time to prepare Hot & Sour Soup properly.

It can be a very comforting and filling meal.

4 . Pork Curry Udon
Pork Curry Udon
Before I freeze thinly sliced Pork to store, I cut it into bite-size pieces and divide into several portions making each portion is for 1 serving (about 80g). I have found it very convenient. Using 1 portion of the frozen Pork, I can cook a variety of nutritious dishes very quickly. This is a super easy Udon dish.

5 . Lettuce & Egg Soup
Lettuce & Egg Soup
I often use Iceberg Lettuce for cooking. Here is a soup recipe that you can try. This soup recipe requires only Iceberg Lettuce and Egg, but you can add other Vegetables and Mushrooms such as Enoki OR Shiitake for better flavour. I usually don’t use Oil to make soups, but some drizzle of Rāyu (Chilli Oil) takes this soup to next level.
Ingredient
1 tablespoon
Sake (Rice Wine)
1 clove
Garlic *grated
1/2 teaspoon
grated Ginger
2-3 leaves
Iceberg Lettuce *cut into bite-size pieces
Cooking instructions

Mix Potato Starch with Water in a small bowl. Whisk Eggs in a separate bowl. Prepare everything before you start cooking.

Place Chicken Stock, Sake (Rice Wine), Garlic and Ginger in a saucepan, and bring to the boil over medium heat. Add Iceberg Lettuce. When Lettuce is soft, it won’t take long, season with Salt and White Pepper. You may wish to add some Soy Sauce.
* Step 3
Stir the Potato Starch mixture very well, add it to the simmering soup, and stir. Once the soup is thickened, add whisked Eggs slowly in a circular motion into the soup, and stir gently.
