What I eat in a week 🍜🥦 | Life in Canada 🇨🇦 | Simple & Healthy Japanese cooking
Hello everyone, this is Yasuko.
This is my first video since coming back to Canada from Japan.
When I got back to Canada, the leaves had completely changed color and it was so beautiful.✨
We've had nice weather this week, so we were able to enjoy the autumn leaves. 🍁🍁🍁
I was able to buy eggplant at half price this week, so I made an eggplant and chicken stir fry. The soft eggplant and juicy chicken were very delicious. I also added broccoli to my tofu and chicken menchi katsu, and even my son who hates vegetables ate it all up.
This week's menu again uses plenty of vegetables.
I hope this is helpful. 😊

    Thank you for sharing your wonderful vacation with us. Japan seems absolutely beautiful. At times you commented that it was cloudy.

    Hi dear, please answer my doubt regarding sauces you use. I am South Asian and we use soy sauce and other sauce weekly or bi weekly. I see u using same daily. Please guide which brand sauces u use and are those preservative free or safe to use. I really want to incorporate same in my diet but worried about the preservatives n plastic.

      Hello, I usually use Kikkoman or currently Yamasa but Kikkoman is usually available all over the world. Looking at the ingredients they don't seem to have any ingredients that look to be preservatives but I'm not 100% that will always be the case. I hope that helps! 😊

The first week was hard because I was sleepy during the day😂 I hardly cooked much when I was in Japan, so I'm enjoying cooking again now that I'm back in Canada! The sweet potato meatballs were delicious. Sweet potatoes were cheap so I bought a lot. I'm going to try a variety of sweet potato recipes. Thank you for watching the video. Have a great week! 🍁

    Hi Yasuko! How are you this week? Thank you for sharing your travels, Japan is so lovely and such great scenery to see and seems like you and your family had a great time and ate good food 😊The chestnut sweets looked amazing, and so did the wasabi soft serve--I am curious if it was spicy! Discovering specialty foods is such a treat ☺ It's good to see you had the time to visit different places and to reunite with family and friends. It is so healing, but I can understand that it must have felt bittersweet to say goodbye. I hope you and your family can go back to Japan soon!

    I love your channel. It’s a therapy watching your videos. I hope it grows and you get a lot of subscribers. Couple questions I always wondered- 1) Is your husband Japanese too? 2) Do you cook 3 times a day? It seems like a lot of work so I was wondering if you make breakfast, lunch and dinner at home every day.

    • @whatsfordinner_japanese
      @whatsfordinner_japanese 11 днів тому

      Thanks so much! No my husband is Canadian but he's good with chopsticks lol. I cook twice a day, lunch and dinner. Lunch is usually a simple rice dish or bagels that I bake. I do also bake some banana oatmeal to have for breakfast but that's only a couple times a week. So it's mostly dinner that I spend a lot of time on.

    Hi Yasuko, this video was delightful! My husband and I just returned from a 3 week trip to Japan and S. Korea - we spent 4 days in Tokyo, then went on a cruise from Yokohama to Seoul, and finished up with 5 days in Seoul. We want to go back to Japan again - we have 5 more years left on our Pasmo cards!😊(We visited Japan in 2019.) It was very hot and humid - it looks like Niigata was perfect though. We spent a day in Kyoto with Hiromi, who lived with us here in Canada as a high school student over 20 years ago - we were her host family. She has a family of her own now and it was so nice to see a couple of the kids again. We also went to the supermarket and picked up some Japanese items - mainly dashi packs and kombu; I'd like to start making miso soup more often. We really love watching your videos and are happy for you that you got to spend time at home with your family!

    • @whatsfordinner_japanese
      @whatsfordinner_japanese 14 днів тому

      Hello 👋, sounds like you had a fun trip travelling around all over! The great thing about Niigata is that it is less hot and humid than Tokyo and other southern cities and it also has some really nice shrines and other attractions that are not busy at all compared to places like Kyoto. I recommend it next time you get a chance to go to Japan! 😊 That's so nice that you got to spend a day with her even though you were her host family 20 years ago, she must have been pleased! Glad you got chance to get things from Japanese supermarket, I love the quality there and picked up so much! Thank you for your comment and thanks for watching! 🥰

    Yasuko, thank you so much for sharing your trip!! It brings back lovely memories from my own travels to Japan ❤ Seeing your son enjoy the big playground and the delicious meals was so lovely, I'm glad you were able to go visit your family and your hometown! The ginger ramen looked so delicious and I enjoyed seeing the different museums you visited. It is so great that your grandmother is still in good health, she must have been so happy to see you and your son ☺ I hope you can rest after your travels!

      Glad you enjoyed watching our trip to Japan, it was a lot of fun and I already miss it 🥺. Yes the ginger ramen was so good! My husband jokes that it's a healthier version of ramen because a lot of places have fatty broth. Thank you for your comment, I hope you are doing well and the weather is still good. Although not as warm we came back to sunshine and the colour of the leaves changes so it wasn't too bad. 😊

    Looking forward to seeing more of your vacation. Aside from sightseeing, good ramen, Japan also is safer for eating sushi. It's great that you'll be able to cook with products you are getting there!😋

I hope you are enjoying your trip to Japan and I am happy to see you are taking a break, it’s important! 😊 Thank you for this delicious menu, it is so chilly here so I am definitely making soup more often. Your son is so lively as always, it was so cute how he has his preference to add the mayo and make his own bagels 😂 I will definitely try your spinach menu, I think the meatballs will be delicious with tofu too. Enjoy Japan and thank you for the video! I hope you eat delicious food there 😊
