Prep Once, Enjoy All Week: Japanese Veggie Side Dishes
I am sharing how I prep my vegetable side dishes.
I eat a little of them with each meal, which helps my family eat more vegetables throughout the week.
In Japan, we have the term 'Ichiju-Sansai,' which refers to a traditional meal structure translating to 'one soup, three dishes.' This concept emphasizes balance and nutritional variety in a meal.I know that eating a variety of foods is healthy, but as a busy mom like many of you, I can’t prepare so many dishes every time. However, if I prep them all at once, it’s much easier than cooking side dishes for each meal.
I hope you enjoy this video.
I really appreciate your comments as they motivate me to make more videos!
0:00 Intro
0:22 Quick Pickled Cabbage
3:04 Spinach Ohitashi
4:31 Spinach Namul
5:32 Lotus Root and Carrot Kimpira
9:22 Ending
[Ingredients]
*** Quick Pickled Cabbage ***
1/4 of Cabbage
1/2 of Carrot
1 Cucumber
1 tbsp of Sugar
2 tsp of Salt
1 tbsp of Vinegar
1 tbsp of Dried salted Kelp (Optional)
*** Spinach Ohitashi ***
130g of Spinach
1 tbsp of Mentsuyu
Dried Bonito flake as much as you like
*** Spinach Namul ***
130g of Spinach
1/2 carrot
1 tbsp of Sesame Seeds
1/2 tbsp of Soy Sauce
1 and half tbsp of Sesame oil
1/4 tsp of Salt
*** Lotus Root and Carrot Kimpira ***
200g of Sliced Lotus roots
1 carrot
1 tbsp of Oil for cooking
1/2 tbsp of Sugar
2 tbsp of Soy Sauce
2 tbsp of Mirin
1 Red Chili Pepper (Optional)
1 tbsp of Sesame Seeds
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Benefit of Kelp (Kombu)
1. Rich Source of Iodine
Uniqueness: Kelp is one of the richest natural sources of iodine, essential for thyroid health. Most terrestrial foods lack sufficient iodine unless fortified, giving kelp a distinct advantage in supporting metabolism and hormonal balance.
2. Natural Umami Flavor
Uniqueness: Kelp contains high levels of glutamic acid, contributing to its savory umami taste. While some foods like mushrooms or soy sauce also have umami, kelp delivers it naturally with minimal calories and no added sodium.
3. High Mineral Content
Comparison: Unlike many land-based vegetables, kelp absorbs minerals from seawater, resulting in a high concentration of calcium, magnesium, potassium, and iron. For example:
Kelp contains more calcium per gram than milk.
Its iron content rivals that of spinach.
4. Unique Bioactive Compounds
Fucoxanthin: This pigment, found in brown seaweeds like kelp, has been shown to promote fat metabolism and weight loss, a benefit not commonly found in most vegetables or grains.
Alginate: A natural fiber in kelp that may reduce fat absorption in the gut and promote digestive health, which is unique compared to fibers from land plants.
5. Sustainability and Accessibility
Uniqueness: Kelp is incredibly sustainable to cultivate compared to other nutrient-dense foods like meat or dairy. It grows rapidly, requires no fertilizers, and absorbs carbon dioxide, making it an environmentally friendly superfood.
6. Versatility in Cooking
Comparison: Unlike other greens that may lose their texture or flavor when cooked, kelp retains its umami-rich profile and enhances soups, broths, and seasonings. It is also used in powdered or dried forms for seasoning, making it a versatile ingredient.

MASTERING ONIGIRI Could Be Easier Than You Think!
Pickled cabbage and vegetables is soo good 😊
Yes, they are! They won't last too long. I should make bigger batch!
Raw flour?
Thank you for your comment! I added extra information in the description box. Tapioca starch, cornstarch, and potato starch are generally not recommended to be eaten raw. When used as dusting powder, they are typically safe in small amounts; however, it’s best to avoid excessive consumption and brush off any excess powder. For added peace of mind, you may also consider lightly toasting the starch before use.
Is there much of a difference between Vermont Curry and Golden Curry? We mostly get Golden Curry here in the US.
Thank you for your comment! Vermont Curry is a mild, sweet curry, while Golden Curry is spicy with a strong flavor of spices and a rich, deep taste. Golden Curry is very popular here in Australia too!
that looks so amazing! am defiantly subscribing!!
That's so sweet! Thank you!! I’ll keep uploading more videos.
Hello from AZ, in the USA, thanks for the video! great to learn from you!
Thank you for your comment! It motivates me to create more videos!
It looks delicious! 🤤
Thank you for your comment! Have you ever tried Japanese curry before?
Perfect recipe for the cold that is setting here! Thank you! And great video
Thank you for your comment! I miss cold Christmas and New Years Eve as we have super-hot Christmas here in Australia. It's almost the time of the year!
I’ve got to have some of these this summer! Looks delish!
@@munkyhak Yes, you should! They were tasty and fun to eat!
Omg? I love this dessert so bad and I absolutely didn’t know it was that easy to make wow!
Do you like Mochi Ice cream too? I heard it's popular in the U.S. I didn't know that until recently. I'm glad you know now that you can make your own mochi ice cream! Please let me know when you make it!
@@JapaneseCooking123 It's extremely popular here, it's always the first thing you see in the ice cream aisle in every single stores, even though I like it I won't be doing it anytime soon because it's way too cold for ice cream 😅
@@joshmilka2914 That’s right! As we are heading to summer now, I felt like ice creams. I have to upload more winter dishes too!
It might be average but anytime I drink strawberry milk it brings me back to my childhood as my mom would always come back from work with one
That’s so sweet! I can imagine a working mom rushing back home with a strawberry milk in her hand thinking her boy’s happy face! Thank you for sharing your childhood memory!
@@JapaneseCooking123 that's exactly as it was! Good old days.
this looks absolutely delicious and easy to make! great video as always!
Thank you for your comment as always! Your comments make me motivated to make more videos!!
@@JapaneseCooking123 Thank YOU! I've always liked Japanese food, but I was always scared to try thinking it was too hard but your videos are just perfect! As a freshman in college it's fun to just watch them as a way to relax from school air as well! I'll be waiting for more videos!
At first I wasn’t sure about Anko but after living in Japan for a while I really came to enjoy the sweet earthy taste in all sorts of Japanese sweets. I think I like Koshi-An most!
I think many of foreigners feel not sure about Anko to start with. I am happy to hear that you like them now. I like both Koshi-An and Tsubu-An! :)
❤Anko and matcha together is sooo good 😊
Thank you for your comment! YES! Anko and matcha are a great combination!
Great video! looks good, what's inside anko? and can we use other fruit beside strawberries, I'm not big fan of strawberries
You can substitute strawberries with grapes, mandarins, Kiwi fruit or even cream cheese is good much with Anko paste! I hope you can find your favorite Daifuku. I didn't mention it in the video, but Anko and Whip cream is also nice. Thank you for your comment as usual!
@@JapaneseCooking123 great I think I'll go with whip cream thank you!
Anko paste is made from Azuki red beans, sugar. It is often used for traditional Japanese sweets. I am going to upload "How to make Anko" video soon so, please check it out!
@@JapaneseCooking123 will do thanks!
おいしそー😋
おいしいよー♪️作ってみてね☺️
This is great and so tasty too!
Thank you for your comment!
すごく簡単だしTP１糖尿病にも良さそうだから私も作ってみます♪

I love love teriyaki chicken so bad oh I wanted to ask you did you listen to the new song named APT? It’s really good! Let me know if you like it
I have just listened APT. It’s a cool song, I like it! Please try to cook Teriyaki chicken. It might be good in sushi too!
@@JapaneseCooking123 oh I usually eat it with fried rice I’ll try the sushi!
@@joshmilka2914 Please let me know once you tried!
keep it up! love the video<3
Thank you for your comment! I will! I love the rabbit on your icon :)
Wow you literally can make anything out of tofu
Tofu has a lot of potential, doesn't it?
@@JapaneseCooking123 it really does it’s incredible
I tried the egg roll turned out pretty good
I am happy to hear that you made nice egg roll! You thought you'd mess up the eggs when you watch my sushi video, but you didn't! Congrats! Thank you for the comment :)
英語の発音がきれいでもっと英語勉強したい！って思ったよ。 ビデオの長さがちょうど良くて見やすいね。唐揚げあげている時に、次のお肉にタピオカスターチをつけてるあの編集もすごいし わかりやすい。そして何よりも美味しそう😋
優しいコメントありがとう！英語の発音、録音したのを聞くと自分がどこが苦手なのか、とかが分かっていいね。自分の声を聴くのは恥ずかしいけど、動画を撮っていくうちに慣れていくかな☺英語の勉強にはゴールがないね！英語の勉強、お互い頑張ろうー！
米粉って海外でも買えるんだね！ヘルシーなスウィーツレシピ良いアイディアだね。 ココナッツオイルの代わりに米油でもいけるかな🤔
米粉、タイ産の物が普通のスーパーで安価に手に入るんだよ。タイ料理とかでもきっと使うんだろうね。 米油でもいけるかも！ただ、甘い匂いもつけたいから、バニラエッセンスとかを足した方がいいかもしれない♪
i like your video!
Thank you so much! Your comment made me motivated for making more videos!
作ってみたくなったー😋私の英語の勉強にもなる🤓
ありがとう❤簡単だから是非作ってみて！
my little brother loves curry so much, im sure with this recipe even he'd be able to make it.
Thank you for your comment! Please comment again once he made the curry. I'd like to know how it goes.
This made me wanna make sushi!
Thank you for your comment! Have you ever made your own sushi like this video?
Lovely video! Really informative and looks tasty, I'll have to make some for my family :)
Thank you for your warm comment. That motivates me to make more videos! Please keep tuned :)
I'd say my favorite sushi filling would be the cucumber cuz it add the crusty or maybe the rice cuz I just love rice. And do you think we can have sushi with meat or chicken beside tuna?
I don't usually put meat or chicken, but I am sure it will be good! I will try those next time and if it's good, I will post the video. Thank you for your question!
I just know I'd mess up the eggs lol! Nice video as always!
Thank you for the nice comment!
Is it bad if we taste them before boiling?
Do you like eating cookie dough before baking? I won't recommend taste the Dango dough as it won't be tasty, I believe. It's uncooked rice powder. I might be wrong. I never tried!
@@JapaneseCooking123 shocking I know but I do like rice powder it just taste interesting so I’ll give it a try I guess 😅
Just realized how you are wow in Australia! And also I realized I wasn’t cooking hamburger steak to its full potential 😂
Thank you for watching new video! How did you find my channel by the way?
@@JapaneseCooking123 I was looking for Japanese food and your page popped up
@@joshmilka2914 Thank you for letting me know!
I will be trying this recipe and I think it'll be my first time trying tofu unless I ate it without knowing lol and I think the white spots from the coconut make the brownies look more appetizing
Thank you for saying that! Please let me know what you think once you’ve made the brownie.
@@JapaneseCooking123 I sure will!
Nice and enjoyable video. I loved it will be waiting for more and can you also make desserts?
Thank you for your comment! I am going to upload Tofu Brownie video soon. Do you have any recipes you want to see?
@@JapaneseCooking123 I don't really have any recipes in mind. But I have some ramen pack at home so you could do one of ramen! or any other Japanese dessert. ( I will be waiting for the brownie I have never seen one from tofu actually) thank you!!!
Actually, I am going to do some Japanese sweets soon. I will do low-carb Ramen in the near future. So many recipes I want to share! Thank you for watching my videos!
