These are some of our favorite Japanese foods to make.
Vegetarian Ramen, easy and full of flavor. YT1, YT2. I do have ambition to make my own tonkotsu broth, or some of the other awesome broths. Just haven’t done it yet.
Sushi rice → Sushi Party or sushi rice with vegetables (gomoku zushi bowl (see Uses under the link).
Tsukune (chicken meatballs) and brown rice, so easy. And, and! Green onions instead of Japanese leek (can’t find it easily) is another surprise hit for green onions. Sauté those more often, yo!
X-don: Oyakodon, katsudon, gyudonYT. Imamu. Basically <thing> in simple broth with onions and simmered egg scramble over rice. I want to make it with deep fried tofu squares (you can get them pre-cooked at the store) to make tofu-don.
