hi i’m ria i’m a tasty producer and today i’m going to show you how to cook japanese for entire day japanese traditional breakfast consists of rice miso soup grilled fish and some side of the sheets like tamagoyaki egg omelet it’s my favorite if i have to choose a last meal i’ll definitely choose japanese breakfast commonly we use a rectangular pan this pan is just made to make tamagoyaki you’ll pour egg mixture very thin almost like making a crepe then you roll them up and repeat the process until you run out of egg mixture it looks very technical and difficult but it’s not that difficult i think when i made it for the first time i was 12 years old in this video we used cheese and nori seaweed but you can make it plain it’s a staple dish for breakfast lavender another typical main dish for japanese breakfast is grilled fish like salmon maybe it seems odd for people from other culture but this is what i grown up eating with i think japanese people eat a lot of fish because our country is surrounded by ocean myself i grown up in a small fisherman town eating with a lot of fish breakfast lunch and dinner it’s one of my comfort food it’s full of healthy fats and fish is a very important part of japanese diet another staple dish for japanese breakfast is miso soup tofu is one of the common ingredients i will demonstrate how japanese chef cut tofu on your palm my mom told me how to do it correctly so first pick up the tofu put on your palm tofu is very soft and fragile slice horizontally and then cut very gently as long as you are not pulling or pushing the knife on your palm it’s safe to cut but if you’re beginner cook wait until you are comfortable handling your knife i don’t want young audience to watch this video and go injure themselves basic ingredients for miso soup it’s wakame seaweed tofu and enoki mushrooms but you can use any kind of vegetables i think each family or region have their own way of making miso soup my mom always prepared breakfast for us i didn’t realize how time consuming it was to prepare breakfast in traditional way i began to appreciate more the effort it took since i started living by myself in the us now my typical breakfast is coffee and maybe some yogurt but i still miss both the taste and nutritious value of a classic japanese breakfast for lunch some months makes bento called calaban which is shortened words for character bento which is a trend in japan calaban is a decorated bento which features food decorated look like animals or characters my mom used to make me rabbit-shaped boiled egg or octopus-shaped winner for my bento i remember made me smile whenever i see those kawaii animals in my bento box my mom made me bento every day when i was in high school my favorite mental ingredient was fried chicken also she often put leftover from dinner or breakfast for example tamagoyaki from breakfast or fried chicken from dinner we bring bento to office we bring bento school we can also buy bento at the station and you can eat it in a train onigiri is typical item for bento onigiri is basically a rice ball basic rice ball is seasoned with salt has umeboshi inside and wrapped with a piece of nori seaweed i remember my brother made banana fritter onigiri for mother’s day when he was little it was pretty bad but i think my mom didn’t want to hurt his feelings so she was eating them again i took for granted my mom making all those great amazing food for me thank you mom okonomiyaki is my soul food the best way of describing okonomiyaki is savory pancake there are two types of okonomiyaki the osaka style and hiroshima style i’m from hiroshima so that’s the style i grew up with whenever someone visits my hometown everyone always will tell them to go out to okonomiyaki with their friends and family all the ingredients are layered and contains noodles since it’s basically made with flower egg and cabbage it’s a budget dinner you can make it at home the sauce is called okonomiyaki sauce it’s a little sweet almost like barbecue sauce you can find them easily in asian grocery store in the u.s i love that my hometown has such amazing recipe to represent it i also make it all the time at home for my friends and family my husband is texan and he really loved this dish i remember my non-japanese friend freaked out because when you top bonito flakes on top of something really hot it moves almost looks like dancing okonomiyaki’s ingredient is very accessible i can make it wherever i go and bring a part of hiroshima with me i’ve already talked about mesmerizing japanese dessert in last video so i’d introduce a quick dessert you can make in a rice cooker most people use rice cooker for just cooking rice but you can cook so many other things in it once you get to know your rice cooker it’s your friend this is a much easier way of making a jiggery cheesecake which i know many of you seems to like a lot it may sound difficult to cook authentic japanese food outside of japan but i think it’s not too hard the recipe i introduced today is using accessible ingredients all throughout the world it’s the easiest way to make you feel like you are traveling to japan i talked about in my last video how cooking japanese food was an easy way for me to feel at home whenever i started feeling homesick but now i’ve been in the u.s for 10 years but still my favorite food is japanese food i’ve come to love my new home but when i can bring elements of japan into the u.s and introduce it to other people reminds me of where i came from and that japan will always be my true home i love showing people japanese recipes because they see a bit of my home and seeing their maids reaction makes me happy what is your favorite japanese dish oh yes was i smiling [Music] you
