Korea, Japan’s closest neighbour has been gaining global reputation in film and TV drama industry. Known as K-dramas, Korean dramas and films are seen all over the world and several of them are gaining high popularity on Netflix.

Korean food has also contributed the spread of Korean Wave. I created this Udon & Konnyaku noodles in Korean style by following my instinct.

I used 2 nests of konnyaku noodle (50g) together with 275g cooked Udon to make 3 people's light meal. This ratio can also be altered. As for health benefits and nutrition, Konnyaku is rich in fibre, low calorie, low fat, sugar or salt. It is clinically proven cure for type 2 Diabetes and also it helps lowering blood sugar and cholesterol. Japanese have eaten it for over millennia! It is a time to bring konnyaku back on our table!

I like recipes which take the best out of all ingredients and I dislike wastes.

I like making this paella which brings the best of prawns because all juices from the prawns are put back in the cooking pot. It is a mess-free and quick dish as well.

The konjac has many health benefits. Soluble fiber helps lower cholesterol and blood glucose level. It also locks in the flavour of the stock, adds shine to the dish and gives firmer texture to the rice. 

You might already know that the basis of healthy living is to continue a balanced diet over the long term while paying attention to nutritional value. You might also be interested in the sustainability of the earth. Superfood and Vegan are the key words. If vegan recipes are too limited in ingredients and you do not know what you can make, this is the first recipe you should try:

Superfood Vegan Matcha Cake

As the name indicates,  there are as many as four popular superfoods in the ingredients. Moreover, it is easy and delicious, and it is guaranteed that it is a cake that you want to eat every week!

From tomorrow, a potentially very long home schooling starts for the majority of young families in the UK. 

Kids can have so much fun making this. Unlike many other desserts and cakes, this method is NOT SENSITIVE in any way！

No butter, eggs, milk and flour required. 

Umami is described as 'a pleasant savory flavor' and one of the five basic tastes along with better known sweet, salty, bitter and sour.

In this recipe, I would really hope that you discover and enjoy umami. Kombu (or Konbu) shows up as the most umami packed food and mackerel is not far from it.
