5 Easy & Simple Japanese style meals 🍚🥢

[@NekoArts]

The boiled egg-mistake reminded me of the first time I went to Japan 10 years ago. I didn’t read or speak any Japanese then so every time I bought food at the supermarket felt like an adventure, haha. I remember one time buying what I thought was just regular bread-rolls but when I bit in to them they were filled with anko. “What is this?!”, haha. Another time, a couple of years later, I went to the supermarket looking for honey. I couldn’t remember the Japanese word for honey, but I remembered that it was “ha-something-mi-something” and thought “it’s a liquid from flowers, right?”, so I asked the staff “すみません、鼻水はどこですか？”. That went great, haha. I’m Swedish, but I live in Portugal right now (so we’re neighbors!). I don’t speak Portuguese, but the food is very similar to Swedish food so it’s easy to buy food here without knowing the language. Very different from when I was in Asia. But I kind of like that adventure of not knowing what you get though. It’s a good way to try new things because you can’t judge a food beforehand when you don’t know what it is. Sometimes if you know what it is, you might think “No, I don’t want that” even if you never tried it before. Especially if it’s something you traditionally wouldn’t eat in your home country. Anyway, thank you for the recipe on homemade instant miso! I will have to try it out! The other recipes looked good as well.

@@justuscrickets how did you take that step? im pretty scared of being alone and away from everyone I know..

[@Celestials1aurora]

@@justuscrickets im a loner too but I be scared of going alone to a complete new place without knowing anyone - you are so brave pls. and no omg that's so scary im sorry about that.. I have been stalked too so I get that wanting to somewhere where they won't bother you.. was the travel group safe though? like was it well organized and not just everyone to each their own? idk but I havent experienced it so im not sure if it will be like that or more protected if its a foreign place and safety reasons yk. that's true I suppose that's why I might also be scared.. the challenges you might face in a foreign place without anyone you can trust is hard... you have a admirable look for this :') im so fearful of bad things happening if I traveled alone..

[@JunoCat1890]

I live in Portugal too! what a coincidence :D

[@Xia-hu]

honey as liquid from flowers? um, you know it's more like liquid from bees, right?

[@livics610]

That's why in Germany the boiled eggs are painted with color, so that ppl differentiate between raw and cooked in the supermarket

[@sleepymonsteraddict]

In Belgium boiled eggs are in the fridge and already peeled, I've never seen boiled eggs in the normal egg section, only during Easter there are boiled painted eggs for a limited time.

[@Fitness4Freshies]

In Germany it’s a crime to protest against the genocide in Palestine… sorry but I wouldn’t be too proud of anything German…..

[@Xia-hu]

@@Fitness4Freshies what does it have to do with eggsM takee your political propaganda out of cooking pages!

[@Fitness4Freshies]

@ stop supporting the genocide. Germans have a history of cooking people don’t they? How is humanity a political issue?

[@Fitness4Freshies]

@ nothing political about human rights and a cooking page is directly related because Palestinians are being starved

[@Eyl279]

Excellent! I am Korean but I prefer the less salty and spicy flavors of Japanese food. And I love simple delicious recipes you can makes without too much trouble.

[@scoobysnax]

you can dry tofu in the microwave??? you just changed my life 😲

[@nomadmd612]

Life changing 🎉

[@user-kj5sl2gx7k]

You're supposed to dry tofu??

[@EriMinAdventures]

I told my Japanese husband this today and he was like 😯 We tried it out and it worked SO well!

[@angelavining356]

OMG me too !!

[@94sweetmochi]

You can also have a meaty texture when you freeze and defrost it. In my opinion its more like a chicken nugget consistancy but i make tofu Karaage like that.

[@April4YHWH]

This was a delight to watch. I love miso soup and now have it every morning. I need to make more of the miso soup balls because they're so helpful. I don't have fried tofu or wakame, so they're pretty basic, but I can't imagine not having a meal without some nourishing soup. I've recently been changing my lifestyle and have lost unwanted pounds, and I owe a lot of my success to having a Japanese style breakfast with soup, tamagoyaki, vegetables (I include my homemade ferments like sauerkraut, too), salted salmon (had that for the first time yesterday - YUM!), and a small amount of rice. I am currently on a serious hunt for natto! I am not able to make it at home and I live very far away from a good Asian market. I miss being able to stock it in my freezer.

[@nnmbkbj9497]

- 7:18 - me, a spanish person wanting to live in the UK watching a japanese cooking video about a japanese person living in Spain ✨ ah yes, relatable ✨

[@galaxycat9425]

Lol For Real!

[@daftoptimist]

I was today years old when I learned you can use a microwave to evaporate excess water from tofu.

[@DoraG99]

The miso dama are genius! So clever to have them whenever you feel like soup 🥰 yum!

[@baroquennedoll]

Yes! I want to try this 🙂

[@trontrontrontron4]

those miso dama are straight fire. such a great idea. you just fixed my quick soup problem.

[@courtnie0129]

Thank you for these videos! It can be hard to try/make homemade Japanese recipes when you are in a different country, because the ingredients may not be available in your area. I love that you use simple and fairly easy to find ingredients, because I can find most (if not all) of them even if I am in an area that doesn't have an Asian market. I also like that you show so many different ways to use the same ingredients. These videos are so helpful and fun. Thank you for sharing these recipes with us!

[@Fitness4Freshies]

Thank you for this, I’ve always wanted to try Japanese cooking but had no idea where to start. Now I know where to start.

The salmon miso stir fry was awesome. I added green onions to the cabbage and it was super good. Thank you!

Thank you so much for leaving the egg mishap in the video. Was so funny and adorable. Appreciate the realism! Your videos are incredible!!! Thank you!

[@galagalago]

Thank you for sharing the recipes, they are simple and easy to follow but they are delicious!

[@thomashubbell8612]

Everything looks delicious!! You can also make tofu “meatier” by wrapping in several layers of paper towel, placing in a freezer bag and then freeze for a couple of days. Remove the tofu and allow it to thaw. The paper towels will absorb any water from the thawing. You can reward with fresh paper towels if needed and refreeze.

[@jjpanda]

hiii!~ i just made the salmon miso butter stir fry and OMG ITS SO GOODDD!!! 😭😭😭 i didn’t have sake so i used chinese cooking wine. it still turned out so delicious! even my dad who doesn’t really comment much about my cooking said it was good 🥹🫶🏻 it’s rainy season where i’m at right now, so this is the perfect stay-at-home comfort food! so warming and filling. thank you so much for this recipe, i’m so grateful! ❤❤❤

My husband and I love miso soup. We enjoy having it when we go out to eat sushi. The miso dama seems so easy to make. I hope I can find the ingredients needed online. The grocery stores in our town do not carry many authentic Japanese food items. I love your videos and your recipes. Makes me hungry when I watch them. 🥰😀

This is so funny - the opposite happened to me when buying eggs when I was on my trip in Japan. I wanted to buy a boiled egg for a snack from the Family Mart, but bought a raw one by mistake! The boiled ones I in Japan are so delicious.

[@couldbecooking]

I love to watch Japanese food in the making! It's so inspiring! 😊 I hope your day is filled with happiness and joy! 😊

if you want to use less plastic, you can freeze the miso balls on a plate. when they are frozen you can put them in a tupperware without them being stuck together.

Love the instant miso soup. I wish she would make a product that taste like fish. I have never tasted fish so I can’t make something that taste like fish. That would be super helpful. I have no problem tasting things it’s just that I don’t eat meat. I substitute everything except for I can’t figure out what I should substitute bonito flakes for. :-)

[@readbyshelle]

I've seen dashi powder made from kombu (kelp) before, but that might be tough to find unless you order it online. I've also made kombu dashi before, but it wouldn't work for the dishes that use dashi powder alone...

[@rejn1420]

@@readbyshelle Thank you I have found vegetarian oyster sauce and Vegetarian fish sauce and I’ll look for the kelp dashi. They make.Vegetarian chicken beef and vegetable broth but no vegetarian fish broth At least I’ve been able to find I have to drive an hour and a half to get to a store that has anything other than 12 for two dollar Ramen noodle packs with meat sauce :-). I make do but I really would like to taste the right flavor.

[@charlychimes4463]

It might not work for every dishes, but I think that seaweed tastes a bit fishy. It's also salty and has this sea-like taste. I guess in some meals you could use it for the taste

I am so glad to have found your channel. As it happens, I absolutely love Japanese and Korean food also because they are healthy.
