Japanese Beef bowl (Gyū-don) is a popular one-bowl dish that consists of a bowl of rice topped with thinly sliced beef and onions simmered in sweet soy-flavoured sauce. It is so quick to make, tasty and filling – a perfect mid-week family meal.

Japanese fish cakes are made in a similar way to Thai fish cakes but the flavourings are less spicy and use common Japanese seasonings. Unlike typical Western-style fish cakes, they do not use flour or mashed potatoes to bind the fish together.

Japanese Fried Fish Cakes (Satsuma Age)

A simple braised white radish (daikon) becomes a surprisingly tasty dish when cooked in a thick soy flavoured sauce with pork mince (ground pork). The daikon is cooked until it becomes semi-transparent and tender. The meat sauce has a typical Japanese flavour with dashi, soy sauce, sake, mirin and sugar.

Scrambled Tofu is a delicious vegetarian side dish. Or perhaps you could call it a warm salad. It is a typical home cooking dish and quite simple to make.

Scrambled Tofu (Iri Dofu)

This is not just a simple bowl of udon noodles but curry flavoured noodles with pork, shallots (scallions), aburaage (deep fried tofu) and fish cakes. I made the curry sauce from scratch and flavour is amazing – almost noodle restaurant quality.

? The meatloaf is flavoured with miso, soy sauce and sugar so it is quite different from the Western style meatloaf. It looks fiddly but actually, it is quite simple to make. Great as finger food or an accompanying side dish for a Japanese meal.

Japanese Chicken Meatloaf (Noshidori)

Edamame is served at Japanese restaurants but you can make it easily at home and it’s much cheaper. Perfect snack for a crowd. It goes very well with drinks, particularly beer, but I don’t mind any drinks with edamame.

This is a white coloured stew made from béchamel sauce. It’s so colourful with the chicken, carrots, potatoes, onions and green peas in it. This stew is also called ‘Cream Stew’ although no cream is added to the sauce and it is not as heavy as it might look.

White Stew (Cream Stew)

I had this in Okinawa. The combination of roasted soybean flour and brown sugar is wonderful and they go so well with vanilla ice cream.

Okinawan Sundae

This is a quick side dish. Eggplant goes so well with miso and green capsicum adds bright colour to the dish. My recipe uses thinly sliced pork but you can make it without meat. Then it becomes a vegetarian dish.

When sautéed beef slices are dressed with grated daikon and ponzu (citrus soy sauce) dressing, they become a rather light meal instead of a rich and heavy beef dish. Beef with Grated Daikon and Ponzu Dressing is so quick to make.

The combination of rice, daikon (white radish) and aburaage (fried thin tofu) in daikon gohan is just perfect. This is another mixed rice recipe similar to Shimeji Gohan (rice with Shimeji Mushrooms) but the soy sauce flavour of the rice is slightly stronger. Use konbu dashi stock to make it 100% vegetarian.
