RResidents in Japan

The crisp sandwich. Everyone knows it but it’s not on recipe sites. What’s the Japanese equivalent?

Crisp sandwiches, chip butties, chips and curry sauce/gravy (I realise this is very British centric but I don’t know the American equivalent lol, feel free to chime in). I mean more comfort meals than struggle meals btw haha

These are snacks that people make at home but are not often featured on cooking websites.

What are some Japanese equivalents of this? Foods people eat at home but that don’t get put on YouTube cooking channels.

Can be general, or some weird concoction that you made up yourself from the ingredients available! 🙂

  1. Does tamagokake-gohan count? Raw egg + rice + soy sauce or furikake

    edit: Also don’t know if this is a Japanese thing or just my family, but we would get milk + cut up strawberries in a bowl, squish/squeeze them with a fork against the sides of the bowl to get the juices out, add some sugar, and then we had this weird strawberry milk thing.

  3. Isobeyaki-take a piece of mochi and throw it in the microwave until it puffs up. Dip both sides of it in soy sauce and slap on pieces of nori on both sides.

    Another mochi snack. Take two pieces of mochi and add them to a microwavable bowl. Microwave them until the mochi puffs up. Add two packs of instant miso soup and hot water. Miso soup with mochi!

    Note in both of these cases the mochi is the rectangular hard type you buy at the supermarket near the rice. Not sweet mochi
