Today's breakfast, a breakfast typical of our place, not of Japan. Breakfast has evolved this way on account of Hiro's late nights. Neither of us feel like eating when he gets home after eleven , so breakfast has become the main meal with the most vegies and most nutrition. This is a very quick meal.
- Tofu... 'scooped it out of the punnet' - (20 seconds including time to grate ginger),
- grate daikon - (perhaps a minute),
- dipping sauce - for summer dipping sauce I buy it ready made and dilute with water /ice (30 seconds),
- okra & tomatoes (6-7 mins including chopping time) I made this last night though,
- miso eggplant (6-7 mins including chopping time),
- chopped cucumber (1 minute),
- somen noodles are boiled for 1 minute.
- shallots (1-2 minutes chopping) done last night.
Quick, easy and uses minimal heat in the kitchen.
Just a note (to placate my mother) we do eat meat, not every day, but in a similar style of it being one of a number of dishes.

That meal looks so refreshing. I love pictures that show many small bowls and plates that accompany a meal.
It is so perfect for the humid summer- you are on to something! That and the mugicha. We have been drinking gallons since coming back from Tokyo.
It works for us anyway. Very easy, very refreshing.
