List of Japanese dishes Puns

Are there any soups I could eat? I think Ramen is out, since it's most often make with pork, right? Isn't there a miso version with dashi though?

I'm not a huge fan of sushi (I know), so are there other dishes that contain only fish or vegetables? Vegetable /fish udon/soba? Non-meat curry?

I'd like to get a list of common fish/vegetable meals in Japanese that I can use to compare against what I'm seeing on menus. Tedious, yes, but would work in a pinch.

Thanks!

Utilize this vs. coming up with a super restrictive diet or cutting out things you like eating.

Diet is about sustainability vs. unsustainable restrictive diets that maybe work for like a week or so.

Still try to get plenty of veggies and healthy foods in. Don't subsist on small portions of high cal foods you like! Get plenty of fiber!

Hope this helps anyone out there!

Ich dachte Toast hawaii wäre dabei, wurde immerhin von einem deutschen erfunden (WIMRE). Ich kenne eigentlich auch nur das und Karlsbader Schnitte. Welche Gerichte mit Brot kennt ihr so?

I made these lists based on general consensus, they don't necessarily reflect what I believe. Nor did I include every little thing for either side. Let's get to it.

HARD

1. Writing system. Three systems: hiragana, katakana and kanji. The three are combined and there 2,000 characters to learn.

2. It's spoken really fast. Faster than Spanish.

3. Zero lexical similarity with English or any other Indo-European language. You'll be starting (almost) from the ground-up.

4. It is an SOV language, English and most European languages are SVO.

5. It is a Head-final language. That means many sentences with no verb will be backwards to you as well. For example: "Sorry for that" = "That for sorry" (Sore wa Gomen)

6. Particles, such as "wa". There are 188 of them to be exact. They take some getting used to as they definitely have no English equivalents.

7. Honorific system, "Keigo". Basically, you have to learn "formal" and "casual" Japanese. You must also be mindful of the hierarchy of whom you are speaking.

8. Weird "Counter" system.

9. Verb & Adjective conjugations

10. Subject is often dropped.

11. There's a shit-load of homophones.

12. While pronunciation isn't very hard overall, I wouldn't say it's a total cakewalk. There's a pitch accent, and you occasionally have words like "tsutaerarenakatta." The "R" and "Ts" sounds may trip you up.

13. 4 different types of conditionals (ways to say "if").

14. There are many dialects.

EASY

1. Pronunciation is not very hard for the most part. I'd put it around the same level of difficulty as Portugese for an English speaker. Very small set of sounds, most of which are not uncommon.

2. No Case system

3. No articles

4. No plurals

5. No gendered nouns/adjectives

6. Not a tonal language

7. While there are 15 Verb forms, there are technically only two "tenses". Past & present.

8. Only 2 irregular verbs.

9. Word order is more flexible than English I believe.

10. There's more English/Western loan-words than you would expect.

So that's the list(s). Again, I don't necessarily agree with all of these. As a Spanish learner, the gendered words haven't made much of a difference in difficulty for me. I think the weird counting system makes up for the lack of plurals. I'm actually surprised by the number of people who have told me that it being an SOV language wasn't that big of a deal. That's the only thing here that has made me go "Oh, fuck this!". To be fair, I haven't made any real effort at learning Ka

S1: Andrew’s “Absolute” Penne.

S2: Polly’s undone focaccia bread (Gordon would rather eat poodle shit).

S3: Vinnie’s chorizo crusted pink snapper that was too hot. He even argued with Gordon.

S4: Matt’s exotic tartare.

S5: Seth’s ratatouille lamb with honey, where he laughed and was threatened with elimination.

S6: Melinda’s poached lobster tail without the lobster tail.

S7: Nilka’s hot wings in which she used half a bottle of Tabasco.

S8: Antonia’s Mardi Gras Gumbo, where Gordon threw up.

S9: Jonathan’s punch-drunk chicken in which he used canned pineapple and gave an excuse where he didn’t have enough time to cut a pineapple.

S10: Tavon’s shrimp, scallops, and crab over Fettuccine Alfredo with Whiskey-infused sauce, which was a hideous mess (IMO looked worst than Raj’s seafood and vegetable pancake).

S11: Susan's lamb and couscous in which she served it raw.

S12: Mike’s store-brought tortellini and canned sauce. He even talked shit behind Gordon’s back and was threatened with elimination.

Basically, what the main quesion says.

I have typed the all foods that I know how to cook, along with the list of ingredients.

I want to make my shopping efficient.

So if for the next week, I want to make dish 1, dish 4, dish 5, and dish 11, I want to be able to select the dish names, and I get a list of ingredients that I need to make these dishes.

Then I can check my pantry and see what I need to buy.

Hello! I am 19 and I wanna learn cooking food, to avoid junk food at all. I do like japanese food and I wanted to know, which are not too hard to learn so I can try to cook them.

Edit: Thank you all for the great and detailed answers and recommendations. I am very grateful for your answers and I will try to create all mentioned dishes in the future!

I tried googling this but anything I got was incomplete and outdated

My kids are 5 and 8 and currently cannot tolerate spicy food at all. I love Indian food and they really want to try it, so I’m looking for a list of dishes (probably not potato or Dahl based) that are crazy mild. I will slowly build up their tolerance ;)

Also I live in Korea so any recipes that are easy to source ingredients wise would be welcome!
