Top 5 dishes made from Oil *I used Sesame Oil
1 . Scrumptious Leftover Chips
Scrumptious Leftover Chips
Last night, my family enjoyed Fish & Chips. The fried fish and chips were light and crispy, and absolutely delicious. We ordered medium size chips, but the serve was so generous and we couldn’t finish them. Don’t throw away leftover chips! There are many ways to enjoy them on the next day. This is a simple stir-fry. I added Chicken today, but you can use other meat. The sour sauce is the key of this dish.

3 . Beef Mince & Tofu Rice Bowl
Beef Mince & Tofu Rice Bowl
One of my family’s favourite dinner menus is ‘Sukiyaki Don’. I use a variety of Vegetables to cook it, but I am reluctant to do that when I cook it only 1 serving for myself. This simple version is what I most frequently cook. It’s yummy, nutritious and very filling.
Ingredient
125 g
Beef Mince
1 teaspoon
Oil *I used Sesame Oil
1/2 teaspoon
grated Ginger
1/2 tablespoon
Sugar
1 tablespoon
Mirin
1 tablespoon
Sake (Rice Wine) OR Water

Combine all the Sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
* Step 2
Heat Oil in a frying pan over medium heat, cook Beef Mince. Add the Sauce and Green Vegetable, and bring to the boil. Add Tofu and cook until the sauce is thickened.
* Step 3
*Note: Some Vegetables can be cooked very quickly. If you use Garlic Chives OR Baby Spinach, add them very last.
* Step 4
Half fill a bowl with warm Cooked Rice, cover it with the mixture, and enjoy.

4 . Buta Udon
Buta Udon
‘Buta’ means ‘Pig’ OR ‘Pork’ in Japanese. This is a Udon Noodle version of the popular ‘Buta Don’ (Pork Rice Bowl). It is extremely simple to make, yet it is delicious, and better than take away stir-fried noodles. The Egg Yolk is optional but highly recommended. The Egg Yolk would be slightly cooked by the heat of hot Udon Noodles and Pork, and creates a yummy sauce.
Ingredient
1 teaspoon
Oil *I used Sesame Oil
1/2 teaspoon
Sugar
1 tablespoon
Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon
Mirin
1 clove
Garlic *grated OR finely chopped
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Heat Cooked Udon Noodles in boiling water, then drain.
* Step 2
Combine all the Sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
* Step 3
Heat Oil in a small frying pan over medium heat, cook Pork and Chilli. When cooked, add the Sauce, and cook until the sauce thickens.
* Step 4
Place the drained Udon Noodles in a serving bowl, cover with Pork, add Egg Yolk, Spring Onion and Toasted Sesame Seeds, and enjoy.

5 . Gochujang Chicken Rice Bowl
Gochujang Chicken Rice Bowl
As my ‘Gochujang Chicken’ has been very popular among my family and friends, I made it into a rice bowl dish today. This is the recipe for 1 serving. It would be easy to multiply for larger number of servings. You need to add some vegetables. Sautéed leafy vegetable would be perfect, but it can be a simple salad. For the photo above, I used Iceberg Lettuce seasoned with just Salt and Sesame Oil, and it was really good.
Ingredient
1 tablespoon
Potato Starch OR Corn Starch
1 teaspoon
Oil *I used Sesame Oil
1 clove
Garlic *grated
1/2 teaspoon
Sugar *alter the amount to suit your taste
1/2 tablespoon
Soy Sauce
1/2 tablespoon
Gochujang (Korean Spicy Miso)
1/2 tablespoon

Sake (Rice Wine) OR Water
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Combine the Sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Alter the amount of Sugar and Gochujang (Korean Spicy Miso) to suit your taste.
* Step 2
Prepare Lettuce. I used 1 leaf of Iceberg Lettuce. Tear into bite-size pieces, add 1 pinch Salt and a few drops Sesame Oil, then mix to combine. *Note: Sautéed leafy vegetable can be added instead of Lettuce.
* Step 3
Cut Chicken into bite-size pieces, season with Salt and White Pepper, and coat with Potato Starch (OR Corn Starch).
* Step 4
Heat Oil in a small frying pan over medium low heat, cook Chicken until cooked through. Remove from Heat. Add the Sauce and mix to combine.
* Step 5
Half fill a bowl with warm Cooked Rice, cover it with Lettuce, arrange Chicken on top and pour all the sauce over the Chicken. Sprinkle with some finely chopped Spring Onion and Toasted Sesame Seeds, and enjoy.
