]]>Although it seems impossible, tomorrow will be the new year’s eve, so today’s recipe is the last recipe of 2018.
If you remember, this year I started with my Ramen low carb recipe and with my purpose of publishing a recipe inspired by Japanese cuisine every month, so it seemed nice to close the year with the latest Japanese recipe: tuna tataki with black sesame. It is a simple recipe, easy to prepare and perfect for holidays, to impress your guests.

I want to thank all the people who follow me, who read my recipes, who write to me and ask me, all your support makes me keep creating recipes, contents, and tools so that healthy eating is easier and more fun.
Thank you all, with all your heart and happy 2019!

]]>After more than a month and a half in Japan, I can say without a doubt that soba is one of my favorite Japanese dishes. Whether cold or hot, these delicious thin noodles are great. Also, what many do not know is that the word “soba” means buckwheat in Japanese, in fact, these noodles are usually made 100% buckwheat flour (although there are also mixed with common wheat).
These noodles, in their hot version, are usually served in a bowl of broth accompanied by different toppings that can change according to the season. As I am a lover of autumn (which is the current season in Japan), I have used the food of this season to create this excellent recipe for fall soba. It is a recipe that is easy to make and has a unique flavor. Especially recommended for cold days.
If you want to make the vegan version of this recipe, you would only have to change the 240 gr of meat for 1 cup of cooked beans.
This recipe is suitable for Fast Metabolism Diet Phase 1 – FMD P1. With these quantities, you get 2 protein servings, 2 grain servings and 2 veggies servings for <20 pounds.
*If you can't find 100% buckwheta noodles, you can use other P1 grain noodles, like brown rice noodles . - **If you want to make the vegan version of this recipe, you would only have to change the 240 gr of meat for 1 cup of cooked beans.

]]>The post Brown Rice Onigiri appeared first on Cooking with a Cat.
]]>Following my promise to publish a recipe inspired by Japanese cuisine every month, today I have decided to present my recipe for brown rice onigiri.
Onigiri is one of the best-known Japanese dishes in the world; they are triangularly shaped rice balls that can be filled with many different things, often wrapped in nori seaweed. My version of the onigiri is with brown rice instead of white.
The filling of the onigiri can vary a lot, from the most classic with salmon or umeboshi (salty Japanese plums) to the newest with tuna and mayonnaise, so let’s go to use our fantasy with fillings
This recipe is suitable for Phase1 (tuna filling) and Phase 4 – FMD P1 and P4. With these quantities, you get 2 servings of grains for Phase 1 with a little protein for <20 pounds.
*For this recipe, it is important to use short grain rice, the ideal is Japanese rice. You can find it in the section of oriental products of many supermarkets, look for sushi and whole. Long-grain rice, such as basmati and wild rice, do not work for this recipe. - WARNING FOR CELIAC: always check that the products that you use are certified without gluten, for who has doubts in this respect can be informed in the following link: https://bit.ly/GlutenFreeSymbol

]]>The post Chirashi Sushi Bowl appeared first on Cooking with a Cat.
]]>We are already in September, so it is time for a new Japanese recipe. Today’s recipe is a straightforward recipe and easy to prepare, one of the most iconic dishes of Japanese cuisine: the sushi chirashi.
The chirashi is also called “scattered sushi,” in a few words it is sushi in a bowl; the base is rice and usually carries vegetables, seaweed, and fish. This is without doubt one of my favorite recipes, the version I propose is with wild rice and fresh salmon, but I recommend you try it with tuna or prawns. Along with the salmon I used radishes, cucumbers, and seaweed which are the most common vegetables in this type of preparation but added my personal touch with a handful of radish sprouts. You can prepare this recipe also with other sprouts or a little rocket.
Accompany it with a little sunomono for a perfect Japanese dinner.
I hope you like it

]]>Also this month, I continue with my promise to publish a recipe inspired by Japanese cuisine every month. This promise I made was one of my New Year’s resolutions, and the truth is that I am thrilled, since, until now, I have been able to fulfill it. This idea came to me because in September I will travel to Japan for the first time and I am very excited.
