I always order the pickled celery as a side dish at an izakaya (Japanese gastro-pub) that I used to frequent 4 days a week for the cheap beer. It's not quite the same, but this one's tasty too, so I uploaded the recipe.If you want to serve it right away, add a little more salt than the amount listed.If you can wait, use the amount listed.Since celery takes longer to absorb seasoning compared to other vegetables like cucumber, use a little more than what seems necessary.This goes great with beer! For 2 servings. Recipe by Makitoin

I had this once at a teppanyaki restaurant and it was delicious, so I recreated it!Microwave the sweet potato until it's cooked through but not totally mushy. If serving to adults, season with plenty of wasabi. It's seasoned lightly so children can eat it without problems. It's also good with mustard instead of wasabi. Recipe by Natsutakukaasan

When you are in a hurry.......Only takes 2 steps and 5 minutes.Adding cream cheese (20-30g) might be really nice too!

I grew up eating this and it’s still a favorite. We don’t put coconut in ours but that’s the traditional way to eat it.

It's very easy to make and it's perfect for lunch for my child and I. It's a favorite within our family. I like to pack in our lunchboxes too.If you are putting it in a bento box, place a small amount of the mixture onto plastic wrap and squeeze to make a shape. It may taste good if you wrap it with gyoza skin and pan-fry it in butter.It's not too sweet, so you can adjust the amount of the sugar to your preference. For 3 little bowls. Recipe by memories

I have made this many times and its great on a hot day with a bbq, you can pick and mix ingredients as they are available through the year.

A “ what’s in the pantry and fridge” recipe that hits your taste buds with sweet, salty and savory and is amazing warm or cold

I made bean salad quite often. I made this when I couldn't be bothered with chopping up stuff, and just thought "let's just open up some cans!" You'll be surprised by how tasty this salad is, though!Just mix! I have no tips.It looks pretty nice, so you can make it in a jiffy if you have unexpected guests.Add mayonnaise to taste.It looks pretty decorated with some parsley and cherry tomatoes, if you have them. For 4 servings. Recipe by Shunnkamama

I like to have a salad with every meal. This is quick and easy. You can substitute and add any types of veggies you prefer. But this is my everyday salad!

I made a salad with leftover ingredients in the fridge. I didn't expect it to be this delicious. I didn't realized that lotus roots can be eaten as a salad! This is a surprising dish!They key is to fry the bacon, lotus root and onion very crispy. The leftovers left in the fridge will be like a marinade that could be a sandwich filling for your breakfast. Enjoy the two recipes of crispy salad and marinated vegetables. Recipe by akkonsyrup

This is a triple threat salad. You have your beans/chickpeas for protein and fiber, your nutrients from the veggies and a bit of your carbs from the pasta! I love making big batches of these healthy salad as lunches, snacks, sides etc throughout the week. It's delish alone or mixed with leafy greens. Its so good you'll forget its good for you. ENJOY!

I love eating salads. There's a small restaurant near my workplace and I often go there for lunch.This salad is for 1 serving, basically a main course. I used steamed chicken but a grilled chicken will be perfect too. The dried raisins give some sweetness to this salad. Let me know if you tried it and how you make it your own.
