Rice & Noodles

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.

Zosui (雑炊) is a Japanese version of congee. Rice is cooked in flavoured soup with vegetables, egg and sometimes meat or fish. It is often made using the soup from the hot pot to wrap up the wonderful meal of the day. You can imagine how good the soup from the hot pot would be, can’t you?

Zaru soba (cold soba noodles) is the best way to eat soba (buckwheat) noodles. Zaru soba is the simplest form of eating noodles and so fast to make. It is a popular summer dish in Japan of course but if you want to be like a connoisseur and enjoy the soba itself, then eat cold even in winter. Use konbu dashi to make it a perfect vegetarian dish.

Home-made temakizushi (手巻き寿司) looks fancy but is very easy to prepare Cut the sushi fillings, display everything on the table and let the crowd serve themselves. It is fun and great for a little party with family and friends.

Nothing is more comforting than onigiri (おにぎり, Japanese rice ball) wrapped in yaki nori (roasted seaweed sheet) with salted grilled salmon inside the rice! It’s such a simple food but it is so yummy that you can’t stop eating. Instead of salmon or other popular protein, you can add pickled vegetables or pickled salty plum to make it 100% vegetarian.

Shimeji mushrooms and chicken are cooked in rice with flavoured Dashi stock. It has great flavour and you can eat Shimeji Gohan by itself without any dishes! Using sticky rice makes the texture of rice so special.
