Why not cook out -- hotdogs and burgers. And add one side dish -- like cold soba noodles. Very easy.
The easiest way to enjoy Japanese cuisine is preparing SOY SAUCE.
You cannot talk about Japanese food culture without it.
Boiled greens seasoned with soy sauce, this is called "ohitashi".
This is not a main dish in Japanese menus, just a small bowl like salad.
There are various sauce and dressing influenced by Western cuisine, but soy sauce is basic sauce to have every ingredients in Japanese cuisine. There is also soy sauce flavored Italian pasta in Japan.
**Spinach ohitashi = "Hourensou no ohitashi"**
Directions;
Boil some spinach in boiling water added 1/2 tbls salt until tender, for about 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the boiled spinach immediately to cold water.
Drain, cut them into 1 1/2-inch lengths and arrange in a small plate, then cool in the fridge.
Before you have them, garnish dried bonite flakes (katsuo-bushi) and pour soy sauce.
Grilled eggplant is also tasty.
If your friends have made a rice ball (onigiri), you could prepare salt-grilled salmon as a filling to make rice balls with them. Have fun!!
