2 . ‘Mabo’ Tomato & Egg Rice Bowl
‘Mabo’ Tomato & Egg Rice Bowl
I often use my ‘Mabo Dofu’ miso sauce for seasoning stir-fried vegetables. I realised that the sauce goes very well with Tomatoes. I knew that Soy Sauce goes well with Tomatoes, but it was a surprise discovery. If you like my ‘Mabo Dofu (Tofu)’ and Tomatoes, this dish might become one of your favourite dishes.

3 . Avocado & Kimchi
Avocado & Kimchi
Avocado goes so well with Japanese seasonings such as Soy Sauce, Wasabi, Japanese Mayo, ‘Ponzu’, etc. Do you know it goes well with Kimchi, the Korean salted & fermented veggies? I had a jar of Wombok Kimchi in the fridge, but it had turned quite sour. I usually cook sour Kimchi, but it was hot and I didn’t want to cook anything. So I mixed it with Avocado, and added some Sesame Oil and Sugar to soften the sourness. It turned into a delicious side dish!
Ingredient
1/2 cup
Kimchi
1/4 teaspoon
Sesame Oil *for flavour
1/8 teaspoon
Sugar *optional
1 tablespoon
Toasted Sesame Seeds
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Cut Kimchi into the size that is easy to eat. Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix to combine. *Note: Sugar is optional. I add it when Kimchi is sour.

Simmered Daikon, Carrot & Pork
On the other day when I was trying to cook ‘Simmered Daikon’ for dinner, I found there was not enough Daikon. I needed more something, so I added Carrots and also Pork for my meat-loving husband. The result was amazingly great, and my family liked it better than Daikon only version.
