Prior to joining your Japanese Cooking Club and learning to make so many easy to prepare dishes, I used to have a protein shake or eat fruit & yogurt for breakfast which was never that satisfying. Now, I enjoy a warm Japanese style breakfast that consists of heating up whatever soup is in the frig or freezer along with an egg, natto and some veggies. Just like learning a new skill with Craftsy, I feel a sense of accomplishment preparing your meals and taking the time to set an attractive tray with your beautiful tableware. 🙏
I've been deeply moved to witness the changes in your life up close over the past year. It has become my source of inspiration, empowering me to share my journey and take on new challenges. I'm always grateful for you. Thank you so much!
Seasonal vegetables and fruit here in northern USA are apples, cabbage, any kind of squash, including pumpkin. Though not local, citrus is coming in season in the south, so it's more available and cheaper up here.
I'm glad to hear you feel the same! It's always exciting to learn something new or discover you can do something you couldn't before, no matter how old you are, isn't it?😊
Ive just tried to incorporate using multiple bowls, inspired by your videos, in my cooking in the UK. I put boiled potatoes in one bowl, other vegetables in another and tuna mayonnaise in a tiny bowl. I was so impressed i took a picture of it and everything. Looked very pretty, the colours seperated were just as impressive as the taste itself. Thank you once again for your videos!
I was just googling japanese breakfast ideas because I'm about to go to the H Mart and need to stock up because I rarely get to go and someone on reddit recc'd your channel and this was the first "for you" video! Perfect! Thank you so much for these ideas, especially that silken tofu hiyayakko - it looks delicious!
I always mealprep on Sunday and freeze portions so I only have to take it out and reheat. If I have leftovers when I cook Japanese, I eitjer serve it for brealfast or put it in my daughter's lunchbox. She really want to take these foods to school so as I'm in Tokyo, I bought a soup bento for here so I can give things hot as well. Seasonal things now are kale, brussel sprouts, carrots and onion and potatoes. And apples.
I try to have your miso vegetable soup with tofu, (or the vegetables to make it, prepared) on hand. When I am busy I can reheat it, garnish it and it is so satisfying!! I add rice or noodles often also. It really is a healing recipe.
Dear Miwa - I signed up to Craftsy thanks to your encouragement! I am so happy that I found your channel. You have a special way of offering helpful tips for cooking . You are so right about evolving as adults! I am nearly 70 and I never stop learning! I look forward to your videos - thank you 🙏 ❤
Oh I love that you never stop learning!! I want to be just like you when I'm in your age. My mom has the same spirit and admire her!! Thank you so much for joining! Hope you will find the classes you love!
seasonal veggies in the Northeast (Vermont) are squashes, pumpkin and things like that. I love the autumn flavors and smells this time of years. Also, we have ducks so all the guts (seeds and all) go to the ducks and they love it. I love trying Japanese dishes because they feel good going down and I have never had stomach upset after eating them. Especially homemade miso soup.
Thank you for this encouragement ! I don't leave comment usually, but I've been watching your videos for a while now ! I lived in japan for a year when I was a student and I miss it so much actually, I feel like my taste has grown a lot since then and I would enjoy it even more now ^^ I still eat a lot of Japanese food, though some people around me have young kids and are afraid of giving them soy sauce, miso, kare, etc. Could you maybe make a little video about the basics of what you can give to kids and from what age, so I can reassure them ? Like how japanese people deal with the restrictions of food for children. Thanks a lot !!
I also don’t usually write comments on someone’s video(I only reply), so your comment feels so special and meaningful to me. Thank you so much! I’ve noted down your question for the future. I’ll probably answer it during a Q&A session!
You need to separate it when preparing the food. Into a separate lidded container. Prior serving.on the table... . Especially when preparing.much earlier...
@ obviously!! If you wanna meal prep side dishes, you gotta keep it separate from your rice. That way you can mix & match to what you feel like eating at the time.
Hey if you have a freezer, take a day to build up into making for the whole week that way you don’t have to worry. Keep the 2/3 first day in the fridge and the rest in the freezer. Some people have a deep freezer and prepare 2/3 months worth of food at once in a weekend
"Western style"? Do you mean *American* style? Because the breakfast in my European (so, also Western) country is totally different from American, or even southern European.
@@anna8282 No, I meant Western-style breakfast, but I agree that they aren't all the same in Europe. I'm not from America, and I find their breakfasts usually too sweet for everyday consumption. Where I'm from, the food often consists of bread with a variety of toppings, and maybe something sweet from the bakery (if you want to). If I want something warm, it's often, not always, too heavy for my taste. That's why I said that, for me, I prefer the Japanese version. It's not only delicious and warm but also light. I've never been a big eater in the morning and sometimes had to force myself to finish a whole bread roll. I've never had that problem with the Japanese version.
@@c.s.4417 That's exactly what I was asking, what do you mean by "Western style breakfast", since it varies depending on the country. There's no such thing as a "Western breakfast", but there is American breakfast, English breakfast, Finnish breakfast etc. We don't eat the same things, West or not.
Can you do a video showing us what a single serving of each side dish is? When i watch you cook, each side dish is less than what i might eat in a serving of vegetables for one meal.
That's a great video idea! I usually serve myself a small portion at a time and go for seconds if needed. So, I actually eat more than what you see in the video. For example, I usually have seconds for vegetable side dishes! hehe
I always happy to see fish or seafood dish ideas, next to the veggie goodies as well. I love having such a complex, balance breakfast every day like the Japanese do! I live in Hungary, Middle - Europe and 90% of people in my country suddenly use to eat western style breakfast (and foods all day long), that's why most of the population are obese. They look at me like an alien when they see what I'm having for breakfast: cooked and main coures, like you! But I feel happy and satisfied with them, love having homemade warm dishes in the morning! 🥰❣
@MiwasJapaneseCooking In the US alone there are some 37 million, apparently. And I think the kind of people who watch Japanese cookery videos are very, VERY likely to own one! P.S. You look great in the video.
@@simsimah :D In Spain everybody uses a frying pan to cook rice and they think it`s normal. And here in the German-speaking countries, all the hotels cook their rice in the oven!

All of my favorite!!! Thank you for sharing Laurie!

I'm glad to hear you feel the same!

Because of your channel, miso soup has become a regular part of my meals. A tasty way to get more veggies in my diet! ❤
Nice!! I'm so glad that you are putting many veggies into your soup! 😍

That silk tofu brings me back to my trip in Japan. And soup is always a winner in my book.
I can tell you had a good time in Japan! I hope you will continue to make one at home!☺
I have to say, your videos are so relaxing. I love japanese food and it always makes me feel so good. Thank you for all your cooking ideas!
Thank you for your kind words! 😊

@@MiwasJapaneseCooking Thank you so much for considering this topic !
Have a very nice rest of your day :)
When i cook twice as much food to avoid cooking the next day, my husband finds a way to fit it all in his stomach. I have to cook every day 😭
😅
Same situation here except instead of hubby it’s my son who finish all the food.

😋🤤this looks delicious now ill have to find ingredients for miso soup, thanks again
I think its a great idea to freeze left over rice. I am interested in your preferred method of re-heating the frozen rice. How do you like to do it?
I steam or put it in a microwave . The cooking time does vary depending on the type and texture of the rice! I'll make a video of my version someday＾＾
New subscriber here ❤️ Love your videos 😍
healthy!! good food for the Soul!!
Thank you so much！！
I can’t wait to try all of these!
I hope you will enjoy them!!
Delicious.

I'm glad to hear that !! Thank you!
@MiwasJapaneseCooking and I really love ur vlogs to from Vancouver BC vegan I love ur mayo
Looks really delicious! I find that eating a Japanese breakfast helps me stay full longer throughout the day than western style breakfast
@@c.s.4417 I feel exactly the same😍I'm glad to hear you feel that too🥰
I feel the same way. Plus the veggie side dishes makes it easy to meal prep

@@MiwasJapaneseCooking It would be my pleasure! 🥰 Until that I can learn a lot from you! ☺
Asian cuisine is one of the healthiest 😊
The breakfast in my European (so, Western) country does *not* make you obese.
Hi hiii
@@janniksa707 Hi Janniksa✨
What are those nuts on top of the rice ?
easy?
What kind of Japanese are you who doesn`t have a rice cooker?
I have a rice cooker, but I thought not many people have it. so, I wanted to show the way everyone can try in their kitchen.
@MiwasJapaneseCooking In the US alone there are some 37 million, apparently. And I think the kind of people who watch Japanese cookery videos are very, VERY likely to own one! P.S. You look great in the video.
You do know you can make rice without a rice cooker right?
