An easier recipe for onigiri:

First cook some Japanese short grain rice in an electric rice cooker (Toshiba or otherwise).

Wash & rinse hands thoroughly but do not dry. Add some salt on both palms.

Scoop one handful of rice and place into palm of free hand.

(optional) Add an umeboshi (pickled plum-preferably seedless) to center of lump of rice.

Shape rice into a ball as if you were packing a snowball (a triangular shape is with flat sides is more traditional).

(optional) Place 1 pieces of dried nori seaweed (laver) to cover part of both flat side.

Then you can it eat.

Kiriboshi Daikon, dried shredded daikon, Sandwich

This is originally from a recipe book by a greatest quick and lazy cooking master, Toshiko Okuzono.
I am sure that you can substitute left-over TUMA, shredded daikon, beside sashimi, for kiriboshi daikon. When you use tuma, it is good to sprinkle a pinch of salt and squeeze moisture from it.

5 minutes
Serves 1
Ingredients
1 slice of shokupan bread
20g kiriboshi daikon
50cc water (for soaking daikon)
1 canned tuna (non-oil and small size)
Mayo
Black pepper

Method
1) Toast bread
2) Rinse daikon lightly in running water, then soak it in water for 2-3 minites
3) Squeeze 2), cut into bite-size pieces, and add caned tuna
4) Add mayo as much as you like and toss it well
5) Spread 4) on the toast and sprinkle black pepper as much as you want
Eat it

Enjoy the different textures, the soft tuna and the crisp daikon.
Wasabi and grated garlic (just small amount) also enhances flavor.

Hi,
I found this book with Japanese cooking recipes in both English and Japanese pretty good. If you're interested in other recipes, worth checking it out. covers all the essentials.
It's called Recipes of Japanese Cooking, supervised by Yuko Fujita & Navi International.

Please teach me the recipe of natto food that can be easily cooked.

I am sorry but to me, it sounds like a watse of perfectly good natto to "cook" it.

I think it is best right out of the package with some Japanese mustard and soy sause.

I usually add a raw egg, some chopped scallion and eat it with white rice.

 

[Kirakira1232]

Natto cooked!? Is it really ever cooked? lol.

 

[Ashikaga]

Some put it in Miso Soup. I also know a few restaurants where they serve Natto Spaghetti, which is just pasta tossed with natto.

 

[pipokun]

This is okra (lightly parboiled) & grated daikon salad with ponzu sauce.
Just add natto.

It is good for the coming humid weather and you can also use it for cold soba.
If you are not a veggie, add sliced fresh squid sashimi with wasabi, and it makes you drink more glasses of sake.
Be careful.

Another dangerous natto dish going well with sake

Natto stuffed abura-age
Serves 2
1 abura-age
1 pack natto
nira or negi leek
soy sauce
sesame oil

1) Finely chop the root part of nira and cut the rest of it about 2-3 cm
2) Prepare hot water, wash the nira, and then drain.
3) Sprinkle 1 tsp soy sauce and 1 tsp sesami oil on 2)
4) Prepare natto (use the attached mustard and dashi sauce) and mix it with 3)
5) Cut abura age into two and make pouches.
6) Put 4) into the pouches. If posslbe, attach the end of pouches with a toothpick
7) Grill the pouches in a pan over low heat till brown.

To taste, pour a dash of soy sauce on each pouch at the last moment, turn off gas, and turn them around. The smell of burnt soy sauce usually kills Japanese.

[aano]

thank you

thanks for these recipes!
I will cook these recipe one of these days.

From my experience, I know it is rather difficult for a single person to consume a whole daikon radish only by yourself.
So it is an idea to grate most of a daikon and keep it frozen in your fridge.
A plastic egg container, usually sold at J market, is great to store something in a smaller amount of foods in your fridge.
Just grate radish as much as you can.
Lightly squeeze the radish.
Place it into the cleanly washed egg container.
Freeze them.

Defrost the radish and use the small amount every time you want.

Also, it is good to hold a daikon party with your friends when you buy a radish and want to use it up quickly.

Grilled fish

IMO, one of the most delicious foods in Japan and anywhere else for that matter is grilled fish. Here is a basic recipe that you can try.
Sakana no shioyaki

Ingredients:

1 filet of fatty fish such as swordfish, yellow tail, tuna, or a whole mackeral.
1 tbsp salt

Rinse, drain and pat dry. (For mackeral, score diagonal slits at approx. 3 cm intervals on each side.) Sprinkle with salt and let stand 15 min. Broil on an outdoor grill over medium flame for 7 min. or so. (Check flakiness with a hashi--DON'T OVERCOOK).

Serve with soy sauce and slice of lemon accompanied with Japanese rice, salad and miso soup.

Fried nasu eggplant and Natto, sweet miso flavored

Serves 2
1 pack natto
1 tbsp sesame oil
2-3 eggplants, coarsely chopped
1 clove garlic, sliced (or crushed if you have to meet somebody and just add its flavor to the dishes and remove it when you eat this dish)
1.5 tbsp Miso
1 tbsp sake
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp Chinese chili paste

1. Heat a fry pan/wok and add sesame oil
1-1. Prepare Natto and mix it well with the attached mustard and a small pouch of dashi soup before the pan is well heated.
2. Fry the eggplants
3. Add the garlic
4. Add Miso, Sake, and sugar
5. Add the chili paste (when you love more spicy taste, add it at the same time of 3. with garlic)
6. Turn off gas, add the natto and mix them well

About 5-6 minutes in total

*Saltiness of Miso really differs, so just trust your tongues and find your favorite sweet and salty taste.
*For those who cannot take alcohol in any dishes, just use 1 tbsp soup stock or 1 tbsp water.
