Udon Noodle Soup (Kake Udon) with udon noodles, dashi and soy sauce — Japan recipe

🇯🇵JapanMedium

Cereal and Pasta Dishes

Udon Noodle Soup (Kake Udon)

Thick, chewy wheat noodles in a clear, golden dashi broth seasoned with soy sauce and mirin. Kake udon (かけうどん) is the most fundamental form of udon soup — the noodles, the broth, and a scattering of spring onion. Nothing else. It is the dish that demonstrates why dashi is called the soul of Japanese cooking: the broth is nearly colourless yet layered with umami, lightly sweet from the mirin, and clean in a way that Western stocks rarely achieve. Udon is a specialty of the Kagawa region (Sanuki udon) but is eaten everywhere in Japan. The Kansai version uses a lighter, more delicate broth; the Kanto version uses a darker, more assertive soy. This recipe follows the Kansai style. Make the broth right and the noodles will take care of themselves.

Onigiri (Japanese Rice Balls) with japanese short grain rice, nori and salted salmon — Japan recipe

Onigiri (Japanese Rice Balls)

Onigiri are hand-pressed rice balls, a Japanese staple for over a thousand years and now the country's most successful culinary export after sushi. Warm short-grain rice is salted, shaped around a small core of filling, and wrapped in nori. The word comes from nigiru, to grasp, and that is the whole method: no mould, no equipment, just wet salted hands and three turns of pressure. Portable, eaten cold, and endlessly variable.

Kimbap with short grain rice, nori and pickled radish — Korea recipe

Kimbap

The Korean seaweed rice roll built for lunchboxes and picnics: short-grain rice seasoned with sesame oil, rolled in a sheet of gim with strips of yellow pickled radish, carrot, spinach, egg, and crab, then sliced into rounds. It looks like sushi, but the sesame-oil rice makes it nutty and savoury, and every filling is cooked or pickled, so it travels and keeps.

Salmon Poke Bowl

The Hawaiian classic: cubes of raw, sushi-grade salmon marinated in soy, sesame oil, and scallion, served cold over rice with avocado, edamame, cucumber, and sesame. Everything comes down to the fish — sashimi-grade salmon, cut clean and marinated briefly so it stays silky rather than curing into something firm.

Salmon Rice Bowl

The viral salmon rice bowl: flaked cooked salmon over warm short-grain rice, revived with an ice cube steamed under nori, then dressed with Kewpie mayo, soy, and sriracha and topped with avocado. It started as a way to turn leftover salmon into something better than the original, and it's become a lunch in its own right — savoury, creamy, and ready in minutes.

Kimchi Fried Rice with kimchi, short grain rice and gochujang — Korea recipe

🇰🇷KoreaMedium

Cereal and Pasta Dishes

Kimchi Fried Rice

The definitive Korean way to use up sour kimchi and day-old rice: the kimchi is fried until it caramelises, seasoned with gochujang, tossed with cold rice, and topped with a runny fried egg. It's a five-minute weeknight plate built entirely from fridge and pantry staples, and it lives or dies on how fermented the kimchi is.
