My oldest son recently sprung it on me that he wasnt eating meat anymore- before i had a chance to stock up on vegetarian foods or learn how to make them, much less get the rest of the family to eat "that stuff" (as my carnivore hubby and younger kids call it!) so i got a little creative with what i had on hand, and managed to come up with a hit! here's hopin i can do it again!!!

I came up with this when I made a Japanese-style dashi for chicken soup stock for my ramen noodles It's delicious!The amount of 'dashigara' (leftover kombu and bonito flakes from making dashi soup stock) is not precise. Adjust the amounts depending on your leftover dashigara.I use roughly shaved dried bonito flakes, which have a strong taste and give a nice flavor.If you prefer it sweet, add about 1/2 teaspoon sugar to taste.

Tasty and Easy Side Dish that is always a Hit!

There are times when I only use soy sauce and bonito flakes, but sometimes I make it without cutting corners.Mizuna, komatsuna, and Chinese cabbage are also delicious. You can also boil and add enoki or shimeji mushrooms. They are tasty as well.If you heat the dashi stock, it loses its smell, so avoid adding it to Step 1.It looks delicious if you mound it generously. Recipe by msft5632

If you like rice pudding, this has you eating it sooner rather than later.

This is great, quick, and easy!! By the time the rice is done, so is everything else! The yams are great either right from the can or heated up beforehand.This is also a great pet meal! I was actually cooking this for a mastiff with a skin condition they(and pit bulls) are really receptive to called demadox. This is what the vet recommended to make her and it just looked so good!

This recipe is from “The best from New Mexico kitchens” by New Mexico Magazine cookbook. Taste very good and easy to cook. One of the simplest recipe our family love!!Serves 4 people.

Great use for left over rice. Goes well with any meat. I only had onions at the time, but load this dish up with veggies for better results. Carrots, celery, cabbage etc...

I was really in a hurry and my kids love bacon but since I don't like to just serve them bacon for dinner I whipped this dish quickly for them.

I was aiming for a fried rice that was both moist and crumbly!(The first half of the video shows the authentic way to make fried rice, while the second half is the way that this recipe shows.)1) Seasoning the egg with salt and pepper and then letting it sit allows the flavor to blend in evenly.2) Even if you're using rice that is retaining heat in the rice cooker, heat it up in the microwave anyway to evaporate the moisture.3) The rice will absorb the egg and become dried out, so make sure the frying pan is warmed up before you combine the two.4) Don't take more than 2 minutes to cook the fried rice!

Sometimes I feel like "ahh, I don't want to cook anything..." Well, that's when I make this curry.The curry tastes good without simmering too long thanks to the smoky flavor of sausages and the spice of "Doro" sauce. I've listed the vegetables I used, but you can actually use any kind that cooks fast. I also recommend using kabocha squash or cabbage since they add a natural sweetness to the curry. For 3-4 servings. Recipe by Shampoo hat

I love rice but I prefer to add vegetables. This recipe calls for celery, carrots, onions, and hot peppers, but you can substitute any other vegetables. Rice freezes really well so I like to make a big batch and then freeze in 1-2 cup amounts.
