こんにちは!
.. or is it こんにちわ?
OH YOU SILLY PARTICLE, STOP CONFUSING ME!
Anyway, I've come to possess a rice cooker, and I absolutely love the thing. So, I was wondering if any of you had quick, easy, and relatively cheap recipes (would I even call the things I make recipes? LOL) for rice dishes. I'm a student, so I don't have time to prepare a large meal, but I can cook meats, etc, while the rice is steaming, which is very convenient. I'm also on a budget and rice is relatively cheap, so I can buy 5lb bags of it every now and again.
I'm the kind of person who drools over white rice, potatoes, pasta, and the like. Basic meal staples, y'know? :3 Delish. I'm also super picky, and can't seem to make myself enjoy raw foods. I've given many different types of sushi a ton of chances and second chances, and my taste buds just don't seem to want to agree. ; ~;
So far I have made onigiri (おにぎり?), which didn't turn out half bad for my first time, although I wasn't sure at all what I was doing. I must say I am terrible at cooking. sweatdrop I've made breakfast with the rice, adding sweet egg and some ham fried in soy sauce. I've added different flavors of marinated shrimp as well.
What have you done? Also you can tell me your favorite Japanese dishes, even if they don't involve rice. Show me pictures! =9
いただきます!
Also, please correct my Japanese if you notice a mistake, I'm still learning my kana. :3

Thats a very good question!! Sad thing is i dont really know
how to answer it even though Im living in Japan!! gonk
Let's see. Well there is always Katsu (think its that) Kare which is just
a curry sauce poured over the rive with small bits of beef in it. But that
sauce comes in little packets here, so not so what you'd do outside of Japan.
And they do alot of tendon (deep fried meats or vegetables), but again not sure
how you would do it. xd
Wow this really isnt answering your question, but i actually never cook
because Im living with a host family. And yeah the women do all the cooking
even if i offer to help. crying
But if you still want more help (even if its my bad help) send me a PM
and Ill tell you what kind of meals I have from time to time lol. biggrin

は is used when wa is a particle. わ when it's part of a word, or the word itself.

If you like imitaion crab, avacado, and certain vegetables here's a sushi for you. Usually they put cucumber or carrots in it, but I suggest trying any kind of crunchy vegetable you can julianne (cut into little sticks like matches).
I like California rolls (the one I just gave you), salmon sushi, onigiri, tons of different soups and noodles, and iniri. 3nodding Sadly, all of our pictures are on my mom's external hard-drive so I can't get to them. xp

sushi! its really easy to make. just get some nore(?) seaweed from the store, make some white rice (preferably stickey), get a kind of small sliced fish (shrimp and crab work best) and a few veggies if you like. After that put the seaweed down, the spread the rice on top. lay out the things you want in the middle and roll it. Then if you have the long kind, cut it into smaller pieces,and there you go! 3nodding

Have you tried Ome rice. Pretty much it's rice covered in an omelet with curry sauce on the top and the rice smothered in ketchup it's a specialty well where i'm living anyway.
I love okonomiyaki and Ramen. You can't go wrong with ramen.

www.BentoTv.com is a really fun website to get cooking idea's from. She mainly shows Bento recipes, but the cooking idea's and concepts can be used for other meals too with a little imagination.

white rice goes with everything.
I often take a large packet of boneless beef cuts, marinade in port wine and soy sauce with some light sugar and grated daikon (HAS to be fresh)
with random herbs and spices. marinade in fridge for several hours (or hell do a whole day)
put it in a pressure cooker or if you don't have one, pour contents into pot and just boil in a sauce you can make yourself for a good six hours.
then, let it cool naturally off heat and pack it up again and put in fridge, next day pull it out, slap it on a grill, and make some more tare sauce to pour over it while grilling.
juices will be locked in but outside will be crisp, pour over hot white rice with some grated daikon on the side and you're set.
but in all honesty rice dishes are mainly meant to be mixed with anything. a lot of japanese cuisine is extremely rich in flavor because the white rice is used to dilute it a bit.
and for an easy recipe...
take some flour, mix with water til it's kinda like a watery version of cake mix, add shredded cabbage with your favorite sliced cuts of meat and veggies, mix all in bowl so batter covers everything, then put it on a skillet and make yourself a pancake.
flip over like a pancake.
add okonomiyaki, tonkotsu, or worcestershire sauce (worcestershire is best for most ppl) with a dab of mayonaise and eat while hot.
and voila.
japanese pizza/pancake.

Usually best to add an egg per each okonomiyaki as well. And personally I highly recommend okonomiyaki sauce if you can get a hold of it. biggrin But definitely an easy and delicious recipe! (And it's great with beer if you're legal)

marooned_sushi www.BentoTv.com is a really fun website to get cooking idea's from. She mainly shows Bento recipes, but the cooking idea's and concepts can be used for other meals too with a little imagination. I'm only in high school, but bento (or obento) make great on-the-go meals.
They can be used as cute snacks or larger scale meals to help sustain yourself.
It's hard to imagine a bento lunch (on any other meal, I suppose) without rice.
[Snack size, but cute]
[Many daily updates&ideas, all sizes]
