    This is what my Japanese wife normally eats when she’s at home cooking for herself. A very Typical Japanese breakfast, lunch and dinner, especially when I or my 2 year old son is not home with her. This is a day in a Japanese woman's life in Japan when eating all alone. As a Japanese mother it is sometimes difficult to eat these meals as she has to consider what the rest of the family wants to eat, but if she could, she would eat this regularly. For example, my Japanese wife makes tamagoyaki, a Japanese rolled egg omelet, typically eaten for breakfast. The seasonings vary depending on the area of Japan, usually sweeter in the east and a strong dashi with a salty appeal in the west. My wife is from Aichi which is located in the middle, so she prefers it sweet with a strong dashi flavor. And she loves natto, fermented soybeans. It has a uniquely strong scent and flavor along with a gooey texture which for many Japanese is part of their everyday meal. There are many ways to eat natto, like eating it with raw egg or mayonnaise. My wife usually prefers to mix it with one of her many Japanese condiment tubes. Today, she’s going with grated ginger.

    • @phocian
      @phocian Před 2 lety +37

      Don't feel bad about your 'massive plate'. If you combine all her small dishes/plates onto one plate, it would be a massive plate too. The breakfast bowl, particularly, had a lot of items in it. If you separately platted the eggs, rice, beans, seaweed, fruit and yogurt, on one plate, the plate would look massive as well. It's just organized very cute and more pleasing to the eyes, so people don't notice the actual amount of food being eaten. But you are correct, many cultures have one meat and 2 or 3 larger sides on one massive plate, while an Asian meal will consist of multiple meats and include 7 or 8 smaller sides put on different plates. It's the presentation that makes the difference; you may be eating the same amount or even a lesser amount of food.

We think about different colors of food to present and stuff, and one reason is for visual pleasure, but another reason is because we know that different colors tend to give different types of nutrients.

      Most of the food my wife cooks is from scratch, including all the vegetables which are from local farms, the miso she made , the fish is fresh etc. I lived on the Island of Crete for a year.

    My Japanese husband likes natto, too, and eats it with mustard sauce, and other condiments, and by itself sometimes. To me, it's the epitome of 'eat it, it's good for you' so hold your nose, and close your eyes. I like to see him happy so I make sure he has it every once in a while at least. I saw on the internet how to make it using prepared natto as a fermentation 'starter'. When we were first married many decades ago, grocers place fresh tofu in the fresh produce section without refrigeration, and it was no wonder when a friend said she wasn't opposed to tofu, just because of its somewhat sour flavor. I used to make my husband fresh tofu to make abura age, rice pockets, using epsom salts for bean protein coagulation. And, no, I've never been able to eat natto. even though it's very nutritious especially for someone tending to blood clots.

We have either toast or cold breakfast cereal. That habit comes from me being from Canada. My wife will also make yakisoba on weekends, and we have that same red pan!
