I Usually prepare these in large batches, its never a bad idea to have 5 or 6 extra breakfast burritos for later!

I make kobumaki every year for New Years. I change up the filling every year, and this year I used lightly seasoned chicken.The chicken is easier to roll if it's frozen in advance.Wrap the kombu and kanpyo loosely, since the kombu will swell while cooking.If you skim off any scum or bits of kombu that float to the surface diligently, the rolls will have a nice clean finish.I used chicken breast this time, but you can use salmon, pork, half-dried herring, wakasagi (a type of small fish), grilled haze fish, or whatever you like. For 15 rolls. Recipe by Keyua

My friend was on a diet quite awhile ago and taught me this recipe. Since it's so easy to make and includes wakame, I often make it.Please make it with whatever yakiniku sauce your family likes best! Wring out the water from the wakame seaweed very well. If you add too much sauce it will become salty!If you're on a diet, use less bacon and more wakame! For 1-2 servings. Recipe by Ousa

This is a tradition. I add these bite-sized beef rolls to my family's homemade osechi and bento.I often make this with various vegetables.It has a strong taste that goes well with beer as well as rice.The time needed to microwave the burdock root will depend on your microwave and the amount of burdock root: 3 minutes should be enough, but please check it with a skewer or a toothpick.Please enjoy served with shichimi pepper if you wish. For 4 people. Recipe by Momora

Most of my family members don't care for a strong vinegar taste, so I made it milder by adding honey.If you don't have any kombu, dashi stock granules are fine as well.If you serve the namasu in a hollowed-out yuzu or kabosu citrus cups, it will have a wonderful fragrance. This is optional.By soaking in water, it'll remove the bitterness of raw vegetables. For 4 servings. Recipe by Momora

I always make a ton of my favorite kazunoko every year.Taste the kazunoko after soaking them in water to test the saltiness. Since they are marinated with kombu, the longer they marinate, the tastier they get. These have a subtle flavor, so leftovers will go well in a salad or in a Japanese side dish. For a versatile and easy-to-make amount. Recipe by LaLaHappy1

I don't like store-bought datemaki. I adjusted the ingredients little by little to get to this recipe.You can make this using 20cm square molds that are commonly available in shops, but since the dimensions are quite small, the rolls become thick. So it will probably be difficult to roll up until you get used to doing so.Line the mold with parchment paper! Recipe by Run

Lettuce wraps are pretty terrific, but not very filling on their own. To make them main dish worthy, I ditched the leafy greens and tossed the filling with udon noodles instead. A little extra sauce helped bring the whole thing together. Sweet, savoury, satisfying, and totally delicious.

These are delicious!My daughters can't put their chopsticks down, since they make a perfect complement to sake, neither can I!One serving for our new year's osechi is not enough, so I always make these three times!The key to this recipe is the thickness of the sauce. If it's too watery, the sardines won't become crispy enough, but if it's too thick, it won't coat the sardines. It should be just thick enough that you can see the bottom of the pan when you scrape it. For 4 to 5 servings. Recipe by Cake to pan no sensei

You can make plump and tasty kuromame by cooking for 20 minutes in the pressure cooker and then for 1 hour with residual heat!Make sure to skim off any scum at Step 4. Recipe by Cooking S Papa

My mother's recipe, to which I used to refer, was less satisfying because it called for a certain amount of water but actually required the occasional addition of water. So, to avoid that extra step, I increased the amount of water considerably. Blending brown sugar into the white sugar will give it a light and yet rich taste.My recipe doesn't call for additional water later in the cooking process, but if the simmering water level becomes lower than the beans, then add water. Old beans -- harvested more than six months before use -- may take up to twice as long to become tender. Recipe by Raby

I always grilled shrimp, but they tend to toughen. So I decided to simmer them.If you simmer too long the shrimp will become tough, so blanch them first to remove the odor, and after simmering the shrimp in the combined seasonings, leave them to absorb the flavor. I held back on the saltiness so adjust with light soy sauce to taste. Recipe by purelife
