Top 5 dishes made from Rice Vinegar *OR Vinegar of your choice
1 . Red Cabbage Salad with Sesame Dressing
Red Cabbage Salad with Sesame Dressing
Today I seasoned this Red Cabbage Salad with my Garlic Sesame Dressing, that I most frequently use fo salads. You can replace Garlic with Ginger, OR you may wish to use both. This Cabbage Salad can be a great side dish. Make it a few hours before you serve it, so that Red Cabbage will soften and the salad tastes better.
Ingredient
1/6
Red Onion
1 pinch
Salt
1 tablespoon
Toasted Sesame Seeds *lightly ground
1 tablespoon
Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon
Rice Vinegar *OR Vinegar of your choice
1/2 tablespoon
Sugar
2-3 teaspoons
Sesame Oil
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Combine the Dressing ingredients in a mixing bowl. The amount of each ingredient is just a suggestion. Alter the amount to suit your taste.
* Step 2
*Note: I usually grind Sesame Seeds in Suribachi (Japanese Mortar), but you can grind Toasted Sesame Seeds using a plastic bag.
* Step 3
Thinly slice Red Cabbage and Red Onion. Cut Carrot into thin strips. Using vegetable slicers, the preparation is quick and easy. Add all vegetables to the Dressing in the mixing bowl, add 1 pinch Salt, and mix well to combine.

2 . Scrumptious Pork Udon
Scrumptious Pork Udon
Already cooked Udon Noodles are very handy to stock. I often use Cooked Udon to make my lunch. Today I had some thinly sliced Pork Belly which is also very handy to have as it can be cooked very quickly. Cook Pork in a frying pan while Udon is being heated in boiling water. This scrumptious dish can be made in five minutes.
Ingredient
1 teaspoon
Sesame Oil
1
Egg Yolk
1 tablespoon
Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon
Mirin
1/2 teaspoon
Rice Vinegar *OR Vinegar of your choice
1 clove
Garlic *finely chopped
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Cut thinly sliced Pork into bite-size pieces and lightly season with Salt & White Pepper. Mix all the Sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Prepare all ingredients before you start cooking.
* Step 2
Heat Cooked Udon Noodles in boiling water.
* Step 3
Heat Sesame Oil in a frying pan over high heat, cook Pork pieces. When changed colour, lower the heat to medium, add the Sauce, and stir for a minute.
* Step 4
Drain the softened Udon Noodles, add to the pan, and stir to combine.
* Step 5
Place in a serving plate, add Egg Yolk on top, sprinkle with some finely chopped Spring Onion and Toasted Sesame Seeds. I added some Crispy Chilli Oil as well.

3 . Instant Pickled Red Onion
Instant Pickled Red Onion
I looked for recipes for Quick Pickled Red Onion and I was disappointed with all of them. I don’t want to use a lot of Vinegar to pickle just 1 Onion. I don’t want to wait for several hours. Then, I ended up making this Instant Pickled Red Onion using a typical Japanese vinaigrette ‘Amazu’, that is made with Salt, Sugar and Vinegar. Super quick and easy, and tastes good to me.
Ingredient
1/2 teaspoon
Salt
1 tablespoon
Sugar
2 tablespoon
Rice Vinegar *OR Vinegar of your choice
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Thinly slice Red Onion in any direction you prefer. Using a vegetable slicer, it can be done easily. *Note: To reduce the spiciness, soak the sliced Red Onion in cold water, and drain well.
* Step 2
Add Salt and mix well. Then add Sugar and Vinegar. You can enjoy it straight away, but set aside for at least 10-15 minutes for better flavour.
* Step 3
Note: Ground Chilli OR Pepper can be added.

4 . Garlic Sesame Dressing
Garlic Sesame Dressing
This salad dressing is probably the one I use most frequently. Any Salad Vegetables, Seaweed such as Wakame, Tofu, Egg, Konnyaku (Konjac), or even Noodles taste great with this dressing. I never make it in a large batch as it is so simple to make, but you can easily double the amount.
Ingredient
1 teaspoon
Toasted Sesame Seeds *lightly ground
1 tablespoon
Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon
Rice Vinegar *OR Vinegar of your choice
1/2 tablespoon
Sugar
1 teaspoon
Sesame Oil
1/2 clove
Garlic *grated
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
I usually grind Sesame Seeds in Suribachi (Japanese Mortar) first, then add all other ingredients and mix well. *Note: You can grind Toasted Sesame Seeds using a plastic bag.

No-Mayonnaise Coleslaw
No Mayonnaise and No Dairy are needed to make this Coleslaw. This is an absolutely simple recipe, yet this Coleslaw is really good. It goes well with Asian dishes, Western dishes and other dishes in many different flavours.
Ingredient

* Step 2
Add all other ingredients and mix well. *Note: Add extra Salt OR Sugar to suit your taste.
