Here in San Francisco, I'm lucky enough to have a Japanese market. Every 29th of this month, thin sliced meat is 20 percent off. We buy 5 to 7 packs of meat and freeze them all. What to do with thin sliced beef? Sukiyaki style stew! For those of you who don't know, sukiyaki is a savory, sweet meat dish. It is usually cooked with a bunch of vegetables, but since I was lazy tonight, I only used meat. Every Japanese house hold has their own taste of Sukiyaki. Some like it with a very strong salty taste, some like it weaker. People in Kansai like it bold where as Kanto like it more bland. I love it the Kansai style, so keep that in mind! All you need is:

Approximately 300 kcal per serving About This Dish: I head over to my freezer when I find myself hungry and in need of a substantial and healthy Japanese meal at home. Why? Because I usually have a stash of udon hidden in my freezer! Yaki-Udon (Fried Udon) is one of Japan's most popular noodles, udon, stir fried with a bunch of vegetables and optionally meat. This recipe adds a delicious taste to the dish by adding a little bit of sesame oil and Japanese soy sauce! Be creative in your additions and you might end up with an amazing dish for lunch! My mom actually used to make this for me for breakfast. Good old days :) While you're at it, why not check out my other udon recipe as well? What You Need: (Makes 2 servings)

I have recently started to buy whole grain pasta after reading numerous nutrition blogs. Pasta is my to-go-dish; I often make it when I'm lazy to make anything else. So what do I do when I'm craving for something Japanese and some pasta? Make "Shoyu pasta"! It's so easy and most of all, you can just dump in any left over veggies or meats into it. This time, I put in 1/2 red onion, mushrooms and green onions. It's quick, easy and delicious.
Ingredients (Used about 300g of dried pasta) Approximately 260kcal per serving, considering that 1 cup of cooked pasta is 1 serving
Steps
Number of steps: 4 super easy steps Time taken: 5 minutes About This Dish: My father is originally from Ise city which is located in Mie prefecture. There, Ise Udon is extremely popular. Everywhere you go, you'll see signs and little local diners serving this dish. Tourists love it too. Real Ise Udon is served with udon which is extremely thick (yeap, thicker than the usual udon); since this recipe aims for simple, easy and homemade, I use frozen packaged udon sold at Asian markets. What is also important is the so called "black broth". It's so concentrated that the broth does not cover the whole bowl up like you see in regular udon dishes. It stays in the bottom and you stir/mix as you enjoy the meal. For garnish, most restaurants just sprinkle some green onion. It's as simple as that. Since this recipe is very simple and easy, compared to the real Ise Udon, it's much less work and may taste a little different, but it's close enough and great to enjoy given the fact that it only takes 5 minutes to make! What You Need: (Makes 2 servings)
