Japanese food is a composition of tradition, technique and flavours. For foodies and home cooks alike, conquering Japanese recipes at home can be daunting – but delicious!
While most of us enjoy a meal out at a favourite sushi bar or Japanese restaurant, we don’t always embrace Oriental cooking styles at home. We have five easy recipes to help you wasabi through life and put your best Japanese foot forward when it comes to family dinners:
It takes just 30 minutes and a weeknight feast is ready with this seafood hot pot recipe! You can use any seafood of choice along with vegetables; serve with steamed rice on the side and you have a hearty meal for any occasion.
This hearty warm-you-up Japanese curry with crispy chicken katsu is the ultimate comfort meal. Its milder flavour means the kids can enjoy it, too.
After a quick fix for your midweek dinner? This 15-minute tofu salad is the ideal option if you’re tight on time and is packed full of fresh vegetables along with shredded salted seaweed snacks.
Not only is this light and fresh sesame salmon salad delicious it is also low-carb for those with dietary restrictions. Served with spiralised zucchini, florets of broccoli, spring onions, almonds, cranberries and seeds, a simple Japanese-style honey and soy sauce dressing completes a tasty lunch or dinner option.
Soba noodles are a great salad base especially when topped with prawns marinated in miso, soy, vinegar and sugar. Served with cucumber, tofu, edamame and red cabbage, this is a great Summer dish to be enjoyed for lunch or an easy weeknight dinner.
