Totally worth making!
Super delicious. Meltingly tender chicken. The sauce is so flavourful. I doubled the recipe so I would have plenty in the refrigerator throughout the week. It's going to be in the mid-30s most of this week, so this cold chicken will be perfect for serving in the hot weather. Pair it with some rice from the freezer and a salad.

Super delicious!
My husband loved this, everything from the sesame flavoured noodles to the savoury tomato mixture on top. I loved it because it is so quick to put together the night before. Just pop it out of the refrigerator the next day and lunch is served. I used the high quality Ortiz Yellowfin Tuna Fillets in Olive Oil for this dish. I am so impressed with all the delicious and super easy recipes I find on this website. It's a goldmine!

Easy to make and turned out great.
Really tasty, plus it's economical and quick to make. Takes just a few minutes to put a cheap and delicious meal on the table. This is a great recipe for when you don't have much time or energy to put into cooking.

I've made this twice now. It's absolutely delicious. Super easy since I keep julienned ginger in the freezer. The "thinly sliced" beef comes from Costco (the only place I can find this kind of beef) and that stays in the freezer as well. It all comes together in a flash at the end of a long day.

Might try again.
This was ok. It's broccoli seasoned with wasabi and soy sauce, so it's simple to prepare and is ok as part of a wider array of side dishes. Be careful with the wasabi, though. It can get too hot if you're not careful.

Nice little side dish. Simple and easy to prepare. Tasty. Only change I made was to add just a little less oil than the recipe called for, mostly to cut the calories. It really doesn't need that much oil at all.

Super delicious!
Oh, wow, this chicken is so flavourful! We absolutely loved it. I prepared it exactly as written, however I did "velvet" the chicken before marinating it. It ended up extremely tender and delicious. This will be on regular rotation in our household. Thank you chef Yuu!

Easy to make and turned out great.
Such a delicious dish! I didn't add kombu as the recipe suggested, therefore I adjusted the water content. I filled the water up to the 2 cup marker in the rice cooker instead of using 450ml as written. The only change I would make for the next time is to add the edamame AFTER cooking, because the edamame beans lose their vibrant green colour when cooked.

A bit tricky to make.
These looked so pretty in the picture on the website that I had to try it. Usually I am good at making tamagoyaki, but this was difficult. Rolling the egg with the bulky crab stick in the middle was hard for me. Plus, evenly distributing the bamboo skewers around the egg roll was also tricky. In the end, the middle part of the "flower" was well-off centre. The taste was quite good, but getting the egg roll just right to look like a flower will require much practice and skill.

Delightful side dish, light and tasty. I especially liked the sauce. Simple but impressive presentation.

Super delicious!
This is a deeply savoury and delicious dish. I used the rice cooker to make it so it was very easy to make. Had to use shiitake mushrooms because you can't buy shimeji in the UK. I also used tinned salmon instead of tuna because it was what I had on hand. I thought there would be a more pronounced taste of ginger, but it was actually more subtle. My pot of rice made the lovely okoge (お焦げ) which we really enjoyed as part of the overall recipe. Thank you chef Yoshiro!

Simple side dish. Flavourful and elegant. I added bell peppers to the sauce but otherwise prepared as written.

I'd recommend it to my friends!
Nice and easy recipe for lunch. I didn't try the microwave method for cooking chicken because I already had some sous vide chicken in the freezer, but the recipe for the tomato and pepper marinade is lovely. I used white wine vinegar as suggested, and used the yellow and green bell peppers I had in my fridge. The marinade is light and flavourful. Will definitely make this again.

Totally worth making!
This was so easy to make and is perfect for bento. Stores well in the refrigerator for meals later in the week. I added more ginger than the recipe called for, but apart from that I stuck to the recipe as written. Next time I want to try it with chicken, just for a variation, but it's fantastic with the pork. Thank you, Yuu!

This was a nice variation on the "full-fat" version of okonmiyaki. It is light and tasty but might not be quite substantial enough for a meal. I added pork belly as Akiho suggested and served it as a side dish, with sushi as the main meal. Quick and easy to prepare, too.

…
Nice side dish to the niku udon I served. I forgot to add the katsuobushi into the sauce, so the sauce came out rather thin, but it was still nice. It's quite filling and it stored well in the refrigerator overnight. Tasted just as good the next day. Thank you, Rinaty, for a nice recipe.

Super delicious!
We loved this delicious recipe despite the extra effort required. Sourcing pre-sliced pork belly in the UK is nearly impossible, so I bought a whole piece, partially froze it, and sliced it thinly by hand. The recipe's 3 ¾ cups of water measurement lacks clarity, likely referring to a Japanese cup (200ml) rather than a US cup (250ml). I used 750ml accordingly, but Tokyo Recipes by Nadia should specify this for UK cooks. Overall, it's an excellent recipe I highly recommend.

…
Tasty but needs some tweaks.
This was nice but lacked a bit of kick. Next time I would increase the ginger and add salt during the cooking process. Also some MSG might help. Could also benefit from chilli crisp just before serving. Perhaps brown the pork mince first in order to drain the fat, before adding the rest of the ingredients. All in all a good recipe that is quick to prepare and quite tasty.

…
Will definitely make again.
I used fresh instead of frozen vegetables, and it turned out beautifully. Will definitely make this again.
