Fennel, Rocket & Orange Salad with SAORI Citrus Ponzu Recipe

A friend kindly gave me some beautiful spray-free homegrown oranges, and I had fresh fennel from the Alphington Farmers Market along with rocket growing in my own garden. It was the perfect excuse to make this simple, refreshing salad!

The sweetness of the oranges, the crisp crunch of fennel, and the peppery rocket are brought together beautifully with a drizzle of SAORI Ponzu Sauce. Fresh, healthy, and full of natural umami.

Ingredients
• 1/2 small fennel bulb
• 1 orange
• 1 cup rocket (arugula)
• SAORI Ponzu Sauce, for drizzling

Method
Thinly slice the fennel bulb and roughly tear a few fennel fronds for garnish.
Peel the orange, slice into rounds, then cut each round in half.
Arrange the rocket, fennel and orange on a serving plate.
Drizzle generously with SAORI Ponzu Sauce and garnish with the fennel fronds.

Simple, healthy and ready in minutes!

I spent one wonderful month in Thailand this June, and one of the highlights of my trip was attending a one-week cooking course in Lampang.

During my month-long stay in Thailand, I joined a one-week cooking class designed for local Thai people in Lampang. From grinding fresh herbs and spices by hand to discovering how traditional Thai …

I’ve been enjoying all my beautiful autumn vegetables lately 😋In my cooking classes, I have been using a lot of my veggies as well.

Today’s lunch was another delicious autumn special— I turned the small zucchinis from my garden (that didn’t grow big) into zucchini flower tempura, along with some mini pumpkins (that also didn't grow big😵‍💫) . Then I added kabosu citrus gifted to me by a friend, and some incredible oyster mushrooms from in Mt Dandenong.

All of these were served as toppings over soba noodles 🍜

The two friends who helped me in the kitchen even drank up every last drop of the broth ❤️❤️

Autumn flavors at their best — simply the best.

日本語→友達からいただいたカボス、自分ちで大きく育たなかった花ズッキーニとミニミニカボチャの天ぷら、それと世界一美味しいジョンさんのきのこを乗せたおそば。毎日、粗食ご馳走。オーストラリアで自宅でこんなの食べれちゃうの嬉しすぎ😆

After 4 years of growing in my garden using natural farming methods, my capsicum plant is finally producing big, beautiful fruits 🌿✨
No pesticides, no fertilizer — just 100% nature’s power.

Now the fun part begins… what should I cook? 🍽️💚

Yeaaaaay! 🙌
After spending a few days in Geelong, I came home to find my daikon radish and burdock (gobo) ready to harvest!

So today… I made a hot pot to share with my Japanese friends who help out in my kitchen 💛

A lunch made with Japanese ingredients grown in my own garden—honestly, it doesn’t get more special than this. Feeling very lucky 😍Yummmm.
