Simple, Everyday Japanese cooking from best-selling author Emiko Davies.
A meal made with love..
It\'s quick and easy, but nourishing.
Nothing fussy.
Gohan to me means the Everyday home-cooked meal.
It\'s quick and remarkably simple, thanks to the Japanese philosophy that fresh, seasonal food doesn\'t need much to enhance its natural flavor.
Unlike what many people think, Japanese home cooking is not fiddly, nor time consuming.
They\'re the dishes she makes for her own children: simple, satisfying food like tamagonogohan (stir fried egg and rice), soba noodle soup, Japanese curry, yakisoba, and miso soup, prepared with whatever seasonal vegetables happen to be around.
The Everyday meals, cooked in the homes of Japanese mothers and grandmothers, is the food that Emiko Davies grew up with.
And it\'s there for dinner, perhaps served with a pickled plum, some mild Japanese curry, braised fish, or even a Japanese-style Hamburg steak.
It soaks up the sauce in a comforting donburi bowl, or is wrapped in nori for the ultimate portable lunch--onigiri.
It sits beside miso soup, pickles, tofu, and a piece of grilled fish at breakfast.
Practically any home-cooked Japanese meal revolves around rice.
