JAPANESE BREAKFAST HEALTHY RECIPE / What my Japanese grandma( 95years old) made in the morning !/ 和食

white rice

🥗Healthier: brown rice

💰Cheaper: short-grain rice

Brown rice is more nutritious, while short-grain rice is often less expensive.

grilled fish

🥗Healthier: baked fish

💰Cheaper: canned fish

Baked fish is lower in fat, and canned fish is budget-friendly.

miso

🥗Healthier: low-sodium miso

💰Cheaper: soy sauce

Low-sodium miso is healthier, while soy sauce can be a cheaper alternative.

Soak sticky sushi rice in water for at least one hour.

Drain the water and transfer the rice to a heavy bottom pot.

Add water, combo stock powder, light soy sauce, rice wine, and salt to the pot.

Slice ginger thinly and add it to the rice mixture.

Cook on high heat until it starts to boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover.

Cook for 10 minutes, then turn off the heat and steam for another 15 minutes.

Prepare the creamy tofu salad by pressing firm tofu to remove water for 15 minutes.

Shred carrot and green beans into thin strips.

Blanch the carrot in boiling water for about 1.5 minutes, then add green beans for another 30 seconds, then drain.

Make the tofu dressing by grinding toasted sesame seeds, then mixing in sugar, soy sauce, and white miso.

Break the tofu into chunks and mix with the dressing, then add the blanched vegetables and toss to coat.

After the rice is done, add shredded ginger and let it sit for 2 minutes before mixing.

For the miso soup, tear nori into pieces, add chopped spring onion and bonito flakes, then add miso paste and boiling water, mixing until dissolved.
