pull down to refresh

There is something wholesome about savoring the burnt taste of saba fish in my mouth, following by the gobbling of rice and the slurping of miso soup. Honestly, I’m not a fan of pickles, but since I’m a grownup and should behave as such, I dump them in my mouth and chew aggressively. It’s meals like this that remind me that we don’t always have to go to a fancy restaurant in order to have a warm and satisfying meal.

Yum yum. I had some amazing, and frequently unexpected dishes in Japan. It’s not all sushi and 7-11 egg sandwiches..

thanks.

how often do you eat rice?

reply

I do it once a month, sometimes every two months or more. I love it but have to keep carbs low.

reply

woah

what is your staple diet then?

reply

Nothing stapled; changes all the time. It is really rare for me to prepare the same meal twice. Even when I cook rice, the side, or the way I prepare it varies, and I try to find ways to get inspired #1567176

Not often. Maybe once or twice a week.

i see!

I eat rice at least once a day. i wonder if the Asian body has adapted to such a diet that we don’t automatically get diabetes from the carbohydrates we consume

I haven't tried this dish, but it looks really good. If the fish is fresh, it shouldn't require the addition of lemon. I suppose they include it just in case.

Question: Is it not customary to sip the miso soup at the start of the meal to aid digestion?
