…are O’zacks nori flavoured chips. They’re nice, slightly aerated. Perhaps the best potato chips in the world! you should try them.

Japanese Sweet and Sour Pork

This is the first time I’ve made Subuta while back living in Japan, it used to be a dish I made often while in England. The recipe is much the same as the original I posted, though I can now buy good quality Takenoko (bamboo shoot), which you can see in the picture.

Mentaiko pasta is one of Japan’s own pasta creations, it’s a spicy cream sauce made from marinaded Pollock roe.

It’s very nice, and handly comes in packet form, which no doubt can be bought at your local Asian supermarket. Or for those living in Japan, the supermarket and conbini. Below is the packet we usually buy, though, you may have other options. Enjoy!

Chinese Spicy Chicken and Potato

A spicy chinese dish perfect for the coming winter.

Because of our work routines I’m now doing a greater share of the cooking in the house. The following recipe is for a chicken and potato dish I used to order alot form our favourite Chinese takeaway in England. It’s a spice Chinese winter dish, with a strong taste of garlic, ginger and toban jian. I’d say it’s a good alternative to a tradditional stew, give it a try this winter!
