A refreshing, restaurant style Japanese cold soba that’s surprisingly easy to make at home. Served with a light umami dipping sauce, it’s the perfect meal for hot days and can be paired with your favourite Japanese side dishes for a complete family dinner.
My kids love dipping the noodles themselves .. it makes mealtime more fun! If your little ones are new to cold soba, start with a milder dipping sauce by adding a little extra water, and serve it with familiar favourites like sushi, chawanmushi or sashimi to encourage them to try something new.
If your child doesn’t like soba, change it to somen for smoother texture. For adults, simply add in quail egg & wasabi for extra flavour 🤍
A simple Japanese comfort meal that’s light, nourishing and incredibly easy to make. When I want something warm but not too heavy, this is one of my favourite meals. Grilled salmon, fluffy rice, bonito flakes and furikake are brought together with a comforting bowl of warm tea. It’s simple enough for busy weekdays, yet satisfying enough that all four of my kids finished everything.
Crispy air fried fish topped with fragrant homemade sambal goreng and crunchy petai. It may look like a dish that takes hours to prepare, but with homemade sambal ready in the fridge, this flavour packed meal comes together in just minutes.
Aromatic, tender steamed tiger grouper topped with fragrant scallion ginger sauce. This is an easy family meal that makes use of a sauce prepared ahead of time, so you can get a delicious dinner on the table with less fuss. The best part? The same scallion ginger sauce used in my viral scallion chicken works beautifully with steamed fish too!
