One morning, this is what our family’s breakfast looked like.

[Breakfast Menu]

  1. Pot-cooked Brown Rice
  2. Miso Soup with Wakame Seaweed
  3. Stir-fried Burdock Root and Pork
  4. Grilled Vegetables (Chinese Kale, King Oyster Mushroom)
  5. ‘Ninjin Shirishiri’: Shredded Carrot and Egg Omelette
  6. Soy-Flavored Simmered Dish: Daikon and Taro
  7. Tofu with Drizzle of Olive Oil
  8. Mozuku Seaweed Vinegar
  9. Natto (Fermented Soybeans)
  10. Nuka-Zuke (Japnese Pickles): Turnip, Cucumber, Radish

In our household, it’s common to have a hearty breakfast and opt for a lighter meal in the evening.

While not strictly vegetarian, our meals often feature vegetables prominently. Meat is limited, but soy-based foods like tofu make frequent appearances.

What I’d like to introduce here is a dish called ‘Ninjin Shirishiri,’ which is dish number 5 in the photo above.

How to Make ‘5. Ninjin Shirishiri’
