these seem like restaurant foods, what would a japanese mommy make for her offspring? I want to pretend like I grew up in a loving, but strict, japanese household and half the experience is the food they eat.

low effort but tasty. would reccomend using fresh, good quality eggs for this though...

Tamago-kake gohan is very simple and quick to prepare. It is a raw egg that you break aver a small bowl of rice and stir it while adding a little soy sauce on top.

I made and served mine with carrot pickles, but you can have marinated radish, kimchi or even cucumber sticks with it if you prefer.
Recipe for 1 person:
80-100 g Japanese sushi rice
1 very fresh egg
Soy Sauce
1. Start by preparing the rice: wash it a lot of water, at least four times, until the water is clean. Put the rice in a saucepan, covering it with cold water, with enough water to cover the rice. Bring to a boil, with the lid on. Then lower the heat and stir regularly for about ten minutes until the water is largely absorbed and the rice is well cooked.
2. Put the hot rice in a bowl, dig a small “well” in the center. Break the raw egg directly over it and drizzle with a dash of soy sauce.
3. Mix everything so that the egg blends with the rice.
Enjoy!

Jap cuisine is easy, fellow Iowanon. Primary ingredients are Rice, Salt, Sugar, Mirin, Soy Sauce, Daikon, and standard meat and vegetables. Any of those you don't have access to at your local grocery you can get at an oriental one, and from my experience pretty much everywhere in Iowa has an oriental store within an hour's drive.
Easiest jap thing for Iowans is Tonkatsudon, which is just your normal breaded pork tenderloin on a bowl of rice.

>what would a japanese mommy make for her offspring?
Main dish is a small grilled fish. Each person has a bowl of rice at the side. Additionally, there will be a variety of side dishes at the table, most of which are pickled vegetables of varying kinds.

>>16617272
no miso soup?

>>16616435
Just move to japan lol

>>16616435
Throw some vegetables into some broth.
Cook some fish.
Cook some rice.
Now put each of these things into separate dishes.
You have now made Japanese food.

>>16617259
katsu is easy but it has to have panko crumbs and bulldog sauce to be japanese

the most important thing really is finding a nice short grain rice, like japonica or jasmine, and working out how to cook it so it's sticky and chopstickable.

Okayu is a great comfort food for my senpai during late fall and winter.

>>16616435
Typical jap college student meal? Just make cheap curry/cream stew

Oyakodon is god tier, easily my favorite Japanese food and very simple to make. It's chicken and egg cooked in dashi broth with onions over rice.

>>16617537
Only have miso horny.

The following redpill is gonna be hard for you to swallow. I invite you to watch the movie Manbiki Kazoku (Shoplifters) for a realistic impression of everyday Japanese life. Japan isn't clean, sparkly and odor-neutral like in your animes. The Japanese live like cattle on a farm, cramped into tiny one-room "apartments" that are filled to the brim with trash. The only reason you don't notice how dirty it is is because there's not enough room on the floor for piles of dirt and dust to form. They come home from shopping at a konbini and sit down at their floor-table thing without even washing their hands. They sleep in futons which they never wash (too big for a washing machine), they simply "air them out" every now and then. Yes, that's right, they sleep in their own fermented sweat and maybe piss until they buy a new futon. The summers in Japan are very hot and humid, yet the Japanese don't shower after getting home. They wipe their sweat into the furniture (which they never clean) and take turns in bathing in the same bathwater later at night. They slurp their ramen noodles for banmeshi and spill thick drops of grease everywhere. You can't even clean the floor properly since it's covered with tatami, mats made of flimsy rice weed, which are destroyed if you even step on them forcefully, let alone wipe them. They have no proper doors or windows, just paper-thin covers that slide to the side which are always open in summer, meaning the inside of their "homes" is teeming with insects. In winter they sit inside at a kotatsu in full winter clothing because they don't know about isolation in the 21st century.

Do I need to go on? I guess you're dizzy by now. "How could the country I adored for most of my adult life be such a backwater shithole?" I hear you squeal in disbelief. I know you weren't ready for this. But reality doesn't care about your feelings. I promise, you will be better off knowing this a few years down the road.

>everyday Japanese life. Japan isn't clean, sparkly and odor-neutral like in your animes.
HOLY SHIT ARE YOU SURE? SOMEBODY CALL ABE SAN RIGHT AWAY! ARIGATO GAIJIN KUN

>>16616435
Japanese curry rice. Most families have it at least several times a month and it’s practically the definition of comfort food.
You just cook some meat/veg, add water, and add the instant curry blocks.
And yes, use the instant blocks and doctor it up a bit, like literally every Japanese mom does.
Don’t be one of those turbofaggots who makes an inferior version “from scratch” and thinks they somehow know better than the people who eat it as a staple.

>>16617692
Is this pasta?

>>16617692
At least this pasta is less stale than pic.

>>16617696
sorry. japanese women fart. japanese curry and fermented fish. sometimes they scratch their assholes and don't wash their hands. deal with it.

>>16617703
Conceptualize the aroma...

>>16617692
Imagine, for a moment, the smell of a young Japanese girls futon after years of sweaty unairconditioned nights.

Sounds like paradise to me.

>>16617697
If you make it from scratch you can actually use butter instead of whatever dogshit oil the instant shit uses.

>>16617720
ah look a turbofaggot appeared, right on time. arigato pig gaijin-kun

>>16617703
And yet Japanese women have the most pleasant-tasting feet and armpits of any ethnic group, even after a long miserably hot/humid summer day.
Checkmate, bigot.

>>16617726

Explain how making it youself isn't better, retard

>>16617692
>They sleep in futons which they never wash (too big for a washing machine), they simply "air them out" every now and then.
Do you wash your mattress? No, you wash the sheets, and your springbox allows the mattress to breathe.
t. I own a shikibuton because the floor is cool and it helps my back.

>>16617740
Because, and I want you to realize I'm not being ironic here at all, it's literally, LITERALLY, OK when Japan does it. Go ahead post the soijak of "thing... japanese thing" I don't care. It's true. Nippon is simply a better place than anywhere else and gets a pass, period. You are some fuckwit gaijin that couldn't even begin to comprehend the beauty of this perfect island, and yet your pig white mind is already trying to "deconstruct" something you don't even full understand. Please set yourself on fire the next time you make curry.

>>16617697
Seconding curry rice. But if you can, also get pickled red ginger/daikon and add a little of it to the plate on the side. It sounds like a small thing but it contrasts really well with the curry/rice blend and lets you re-taste it again and again. I fucking love curry rice, I make a pot every once in a while and I get eight meals out of it, freezes real good too.

>>16617697
I kind of agree with this
it's like indomie migoreng. It's a valid comfort food. You shouldn't really try to imitate it and improve it. But you can make a better, different noodle dish which is kind of in the same ballpark.

Japanese curry after all is based on American army curry, which is based on british army curry, which is based on Indian curry.

It's 4th hand. If you make a sauce with a homemade dark chicken stock, roux, fresh onion/ginger/garlic/chilli cumin/cardomom and season it with dark soy sauce and sugar, and put carrots and potatos in it, wa la you have a good curry. It's not the same thing though and you wouldn't try to hard to make it so.

I once farted and I was straining super hard and after the release for some reason I had the taste soy sauce in my mouth. That was my only japanese eperience.

>>16617720
ffs anon, at least follow the turbofag script properly. You skipped a few lines.

You’re supposed to start with
>it takes 5 mins to make a roux
And then someone will point out that if it was that quick/easy *and* produced a superior result, the country that eats it constantly wouldn’t have such a massive variety of instant.
>well you can season it to your taste!
And then someone will point out you’re literally using the same base S&B seasoning blend.
>but I also add things like coconut milk because that’s how I like it
And then someone will point out you’re basically trying to make Thai flavor curry instead of Japanese.
>w-well my homemade roux uses butter! And flour! Not oil and… flour!

You’re supposed to save it until the end.

>>16617779
It's 30 minutes of work for something very close in taste and with no palm/rapeseed oil, it's not some 1000 times folded katana, idk why seethe about this so much.

>>16616435
Something with Cyanide in it you weeaboo homo.

>>16617753
we call it 'brown slop' round here

>>16616435
Something laced with cyanide, you weeaboo homo.

>>16617779
it's like burgers
you probably actually can't make a superior mcdonalds burger and the reality is that mcdonalds burgers are nice, but you can make a superior burger if you're not trying to immitate mcdonalds. It's not easier or even easy, but it's not that difficult.

>>16616435
why would you want that? unless you mean as a non Japanese born and raised in Japan so you aren't cursed with poor Japanese genes

>>16617692
I myself don't claim Japan isn't shit. I would like change of scenery from standard shit to exotic shit, though.

>>16617893
That is fetishizing another culture and means you are probably racist.

>>16617814
So it’s extra trouble and ingredient cost for something that approximates the thing that people actually use, and the “benefit” is that you aren’t using the scary boogeyoils du jour?
It’s a bit silly to act like “omg processed” instant curry is some sort of health hazard when the country where it’s a universal staple also has the world’s highest life expectancy.

>>16617692
The average Jap lives in a place with more square footage than the average Bong.
This is, of course, a condemnation of the Bong planning system for allowing boomers to veto any nearby house-building

>>16616435
I miss Japan everyday just for the food. Mentally, I'm still in a cramped back-alley izakaya at 2am with a pint and a plate of skewered chicken hearts.

>>16617913
seething

>>16617913
>also has the world’s highest life expectancy.
they've also got a very high rate of stroke

>>16617996
An increased chance of stroke seems like a fair trade for deceased likelihood of dying from most other ailments.

You need to buy instant dashi
Soy sauce
Mirin
Sake
Now simmer anything in a mixture of those, serve with rice and you have a japanese meal

>>16618010
sure. I was just pointing it out cause its quite strange. they have otherwise low rates of heart disease but a lot of strokes for whatever reason

>>16617996
>people who live to a longer age are more likely to have a stroke
Well yeah.
Which is why competent studies adjust the raw stroke rates for age, in which case they’re fairly low on the list.

>>16617954
Im not sure that word means what you seem to think it means.

>>16618037
see >>16618013

>>16618061
And I was pointing out that increased rate of stroke is partly a function of living longer.
Kinda like increased rate of getting shot is a function of living in Chicago.

>>16618037
"Many countries in East Asia and Southeast Asia have higher mortality rates from stroke than from ischemic heart disease, the opposite of Western countries."

post the chinese food pasta but with japan

>>16618076
Anon, your “quote” literally isn’t in that study. Which I doubt you even looked at, as you didn’t link the study. You linked the abstract.
And nobody is discussing “many countries in east/Southeast Asia”, the topic is one specific country.
And if you look at Table 2 of the study you googled but didn’t look at, you’ll see why it’s non-applicable.

>>16616435
Aside from some of the more well known dishes, you probably wont like most actual japanese food anyway

It's disrespectful to eat "rice with soy sauce" in Japan because it implies that the rice does not taste good.
"Rice with pork cutlets" is not difficult to make.

>>16617259
This guy is right just cook anything in mirin, cooking sake and soy sauce and eat it with a bowl of rice and you can make pretty much every common Japanese dish.

>>16616435

Nikujaga is probably an easy one to do too.
It's literally meat and potatoes.

People have different tastes and preferences, and the quality of the rice they eat varies greatly.

How's the tempura sardines?

>>16625053
Not him, though.
Sardines are great tempura, but I like them better this way.
The surface is light and crispy, and the inside is soft and melted.
Japanese Worcestershire sauce is good, but ginger soy sauce goes very well with it.
And don't forget the tartar sauce!
It's also good rolled up and fried with cheese, herbs, and pickled plums.

Make Doria, it is a Japanese "western-style" rice casserole.
