Black cod, also known as sablefish, is brushed with a miso glaze that complements the fish’s luscious buttery flavor and silky melt-in-the-mouth texture.

Black rice, with its nutty flavor, chewy texture, and striking dark purple-black color, is paired with peas for a colorful and classic combination. A zesty carrot salad adds brightness and crunch, while a lemon soy emulsion brings vibrant, salty, umami notes.

The combination of rich miso-glazed black cod, contrasting black rice, fresh carrot salad, and sweet green peas, results in a visually stunning, Asian-influenced dish that’s both simple and impressive. And fresh local pea shoots add mild spring pea flavor and make the whole dish pop!

Japanese Chicken and Egg Rice Bowl

Oyakodon is a popular and traditional Japanese rice bowl dish that combines a savory-sweet mixture of chicken, egg, and onions served over steamed rice. The name “oyakodon” translates to “parent and child bowl,” which is a poetic reference to the use of both chicken (the parent) and egg (the child) in the dish.

It is a favorite for home cooks due to its ease of preparation and is often found in Japanese eateries and fast-food chains and featured in Japanese cooking shows and food blogs. Just Google “oyakodon” to see hundreds of authentic recipes for this well liked Japanese comfort food.

I am sharing here today for those who aren’t familiar with this splendid, homey Japanese dish. Serve it for brunch, lunch, dinner or a late night snack. It can easily be prepared with almost all ingredients on hand in the Western kitchen. I give substitutes below in case Japanese ingredients are not available.
