Can you give me some Japanese food recipes?

Question:

My question pretty much sums it up. I'd like some recipes for typical Japanese food, and some helpful tips if you have any. Some easy ones, some hard ones, but nothing too expensive or unhealthy.

Thanks,
Bre

Answer:

The most important recipe to learn for Japanese food is perfect sticky rice. You need to make sure that you get short grain Japanese rice as long grain varieties such as basmati etc will not be sufficiently sticky.

Here is a recipe online to help you make Japanese style rice easily with a normal saucepan:

Once you have the rice preparation done, there are a huge amount of different types of Japanese food that you can make. A typical Japanese meal will consist of a bowl of rice, a bowl of miso soup, some grilled fish and perhaps some pickles on the side.

Here is a recipe for miso soup, a healthy and tasty soup that Japanese people often eat at every meal:

Noodles are a popular dish in Japan if you want a change from rice. Noodles are usually served in a rich soup broth, or can also be fried noodles called yakisoba.
