Kaki Furai (Deep Fried Oyster) with Tartar Sauce

Difficulty: Easy
Time: 15min
Number of servings: 12 pieces

Ingredients:
12 oysters
salt and cracked black pepper
A
* flour
* beaten egg
* Panko (bread crumbs)
vegetable oil for frying
B
* 1/2 cup mayonnaise
* 20g (0.7oz.) minced onion
* 2 chopped dill pickles
* 1 chopped hard-boiled egg
* 1 tbsp. lemon juice
* a bit of chopped parsley

Bull-Dog Tonkatsu sauce if preferred
lemon wedge
shredded cabbage and tomatoes

Directions:
1. Shake and wash oysters in salted water. Put on a paper towel and remove excess water.
2. Sprinkle salt and papper over oysters. Lightly coat the oysters with flour. When the flour gets moist, coat the oysters again with flour. In this way the oysters won't absorb the frying oil and the batter stays on better, so you can make crispy fried oysters.
3. Dip in beaten egg and coat with Panko. Use one hand to dip in egg and the other hand to coat Panko to keep one of your hands dry.
4. Fry them in oil at 170C (340F) until cooked golden brown. (Turn the oysters over to cook evenly.) Remove the them from the oil and drain.
5. Mix B and make tartar sauce.
5. Serve on plate with shredded cabbage and some grape tomatoes. Dip into the tartar sauce and eat. Or eat with lemon juice or tonkatsu sauce. Or all of them! Anyway you like ;D

Tuna Gomoku Takikomi Gohan - Video Recipe

Takikomi Gohan is flavored steamed rice. Gomoku means the rice is cooked with 5 ingredients.

The recipe is very easy! You just cut ingredients and cook in a rice cooker. It's my darling's favorite dish!!! You can use a can of tuna & any vegetables to make this dish ;)



For the seasoning, I used Yamasa's Kombu Tsuyu (3 times concentrated Kombu kelp seaweed soup stock) which versatile and delicious: ideal for noodle soup, marinades, dressings and dipping sauces such as Soba, Udon, Teriyaki, and Tempura. I'm sure it is available overseas at Asian grocery stores.

Christmas Broccoli Tree

Difficulty: Very Easy
Time: 5min
Number of servings: 1 Christmas tree

Ingredients:
1 large broccoli crown
salt
Kewpie Mayonnaise
dressing of your choice
star-shaped processed cheese

Directions:
1. Lightly wash the broccoli crown and cut into bite-sized florets. Boil water in a large pot. Add a pinch of salt in the boiling water (salt removes oxalic acid - bitter taste, and makes the broccoli nice and green). Boil broccoli for about 3 minute. Drain and cool down until you can touch.
2. Pile up the broccoli florets on a plate and mold them with your hands to shape like a tree.
3. Decorate the tree with mayonnaise (like a garland) and place the star-shaped cheese (attach it with a toothpick) on top of the tree. Pour some dressing of your choice over the tree and eat ;D
