For 2 people:
You will need about 2 chopped chicken breast fillets, half a chopped red pepper, half a chopped yellow pepper , a handful of mangetout, a few chopped spring onions , some carrots cubed, about 2 teaspoons of grated ginger, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, chopped garlic as much or as little as you like , toasted sesame seeds.
You can use what you like in this stir fry, this is a rough idea of what I would generally use. The main ingredients are ginger, garlic ,sesame and soy sauce. You can use just vegetables if you are vegetarian or you can swap the chicken for beef or pork or prawns , it works well with anything.
In a wok or a deep pan put some oil and make it really hot.
Keep the heat high and keep stirring all the time.
Add first the peppers and make them fizzle for a little while without burning them.
Add the carrots and after a little while the chicken.
Keep stirring and make sure the chicken is cooked before adding more ingredients; this is the part that should take a little more time,
after this everything else should cook very quickly.
Add the spring onions, the ginger , the soy sauce and the sesame seeds.
Keep stirring and after a minute or 2 , add the mangetout and the garlic, cook for another minute or two.Add some more soy sauce if you feel the need for it.
Serve it with plain sticky rice.

Terayaki chicken or salmon is always good! And so simple to cook!
Get the sauce from Kikkoman. Marinate the chicken or fish. Grill. Have it with steamed japanese rice and some salad with mung bean vermicelli and voila - healthy, yummy, quick Japanese meal!
Catch a whale ,cut it up with a chainsaw before it'd dead and eat it.Barbaric.

1 1/2 - 2 Tbsp miso (light or dark)
Cut potato and carrot into 1/4 thick rounds. Soak potato in water to prevent discoloration. Divide broccoli into florets. Slice cabbage leaf core into thin slices, cut leaf into shreds. In a saucepan, place stock, carrot, and drained potato, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and when almost cooked, add broccoli and cabbage. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes. Soften miso in a small cup by adding a couple of tablespoons of hot stock from the saucepan... still until the miso has dissolved. Place miso in saucepan. Remove from heat as soon as it reaches the boiling point. Serve immediately.

I have used cookery books but the videojug website is cool.
Remember japanese food is not all raw. But must be presented beautifully.
Sushi rolls aren't too difficult to make.
But a simple cooked dish is either Katsudon or Tonkatsu.
They are both a breaded pork fillet (or could use chicken)
Served with rice.
The Katsudon has the addition of a soy based stock with sliced onions. This is simmered in a small lidded pan, the sliced breaded pork fillet added and then a beaten up egg poured on top. Stick the lid on till the egg is set and pour everything over a bed of rice. Simple.
The Tonkatsu is the same breaded pork, served with rice, shredded cabbage or greens accompanied with a sauce similar to a mix of tomato ketchup and worcestershire sauce.
