Thinly sliced turnip is marinated in sweet vinegar with konbu and chilli. Crunchy turnip with sweet and sour flavour – it’s great with rice and goes well with drinks as nibbles.

A typical Japanese home cooking dish, Braised Burdock (Kinpira Gobō) is a vegetable side dish. Burdock root and carrot are cut into matchsticks and cooked in a slightly sweet soy sauce. It is very fast to make and can be made ahead of time.

I call it ‘salad’ as that’s how Westerners recognise it but this is a simmered dish, usually served at room temperature. Hijiki Seaweed Salad can be made ahead of time and served as a side. It is also a popular food to include in a bento box.

Tofu mixed in the meat makes the patties bouncy and soft. Flavoured with miso and soy sauce, these chicken patties don’t need sauce to go with them. Shiso (perilla) leaves wrapped around the patties decorate them and give an extra Japanese touch to the dish.
