This was interesting to me as I own two of the models here, the big Yum Asia one and the small Cuckoo one. My experiences with both of these are quite different. See my comments for explanations.

Pulao rice. Not impressed this time.

My son complained that he didn’t get enough egg in today’s meal. 😅

Chinese style fried rice with important ingredients missing. Still good… 😆

Are Japanese plums as sour as “Toxic Waste”? Nope. 🤣 (Who here even knows Toxic Waste sweets?)
Lots of leftovers and some new stuff.

Last week‘s pilau rice with Ruchira Pulav Masala was so good, I had to prepare it again. We added paratha from the freezer this time. Yum!

My son complained that the food had the “wrong” colours: the carrot was purple, the bell pepper orange and the egg had turned green in this egg fried rice. 😳

The egg was indeed weird (but tasted fine), I think it happened because I fried the colour releasing carrot first.

This meal was a bit lacklustre as I was cooking in a rush, so we used some of my friend’s lovely hot sauces again to give it more sparkle. 😋

This oyster mushroom schnitzel (with egg fried rice) was fantastic. It left me wanting for more.

The thinner it was, the more it felt like a juicy piece of meat and the seasoning with shichimi togarashi was a real kicker. It really was as good as any meat schnitzel I have had apart from the fact that I had to weigh it down in the frying pan with a pan weight to get it fried more evenly. 😆

I used 100 ml flour, 1 egg mixed with 1 tsp (of my own slightly smoked) shichimi togarashi, and 150 ml panko mixed with 50 ml ordinary breadcrumbs and fried it in a generous amount of neutral oil for 5 minutes on each side. [To make it vegan just use an egg replacement product.] [Instead of shichimi togarashi you could try another hot (or less hot) spice mix.]

Even my mushroom hating son who tried a tiny little bit admitted it wasn’t bad. 👌🏻

Very simple lunch today and the pasta is half naked on the plate, what a sacrilege! 😆

The tomato sauce is spicy and contains lots of finely chopped red pepper. There are also some meatballs hidden under it.

I tried out a new dry Harissa spice mix but it didn’t add much heat (at least not like the paste from the same company that seems to be impossible to get these days 😖), so I added some of my homemade Chinese sesame chilli oil and it did the trick.

Spaghetti Carbonara has become a firm family favourite and is one of my favourite things to cook from scratch when I don’t have much time for chopping things up. 😋

Potatoes and egg with Frankfurt green sauce.

A couple of weeks ago I found a frozen herb mix for the green sauce in our local supermarket and decided to try it out. They were fine and we all ate with appetite but fresh is far more fragrant so I think for our next iteration of this dish I‘ll wait a bit until the herbs are in season again.

Rice with onion, mushroom and smoked tofu in a vegan demi-glace sauce.

This meal was an interesting experience. Kind of similar to when I first tried Japanese curry. A western dish adjusted to Japanese tastes and then exported again to be eaten by us. 🔁

I had ordered Vegan Hayashi (demi-glace) Sauce (デミグラス風ソース) at Kokoro Care Packages without really understanding what it was meant to be. Wikipedia says demi-glace is a rich brown sauce in French cuisine that is made with veal stock. Accordingly the recipe suggestion was to make this with beef - but further down it said you can substitute with your favourite vegan ingredient, so that’s what I did, I used smoked almond and sesame tofu.

I almost used the whole pack as instructed in the recipe on the Kokoro website but then 750 ml water seemed a lot. Using my rudimentary knowledge of Japanese I managed to extract from the cooking suggestions given on the bag that this recipe was for six portions! Quickly I removed some of the water again and only made half of the amount. Now I can use the second half to make Japanese Hamburger sauce. Nice! ☺️

So, what’s my verdict? We liked this and if you are fan of dark meat with mushrooms in a brown sauce, this is a great way of producing a satisfying meal that’s not taking a lot of time.

There’s even cocoa in it! 😊

When you have two packs of (lactosefree) feta cheese in the fridge that need to go and the son asks for mum’s special frittata then he gets mum’s special frittata. 🥰

It’s so easy to prepare but because there is some chopping to be done and then everything goes in the oven it takes about an hour to make. But it’s so worth it!

I made farfalle in a sauce with fresh tomatoes and spinach leaves and added not only tofu sausages but also smoked tofu cubes. The latter was a safety thing, just in case the sausages were not that great. And what can I say, it was the right decision. They weren’t awful but definitely not that great. 😅 The rest of the meal was fine even if I had to fight my son for some of the lactose free mozzarella. 😉
