Here are some wonderful choices for Japanese food, which I love.
Pickled Ginger
I love the sweet taste of pickled ginger. Ginger is wonderful on the digestive system and has long been favored for its anti-nausea effects.
Studies also show that ginger helps boost circulation and reduce blood pressure. Pickled ginger is served with sushi, added to salads and placed in sandwiches.
Teriyaki Sauce
Teriyaki sauce is one of my favorite barbeque sauces. The flavorful mixture is low in fat. I marinade salmon, chicken with the sweet dressing. Beef lovers use teriyaki sauce as well.
My daughter loves adding teriyaki sauce to her steamed brown rice as a side dish. She dips the fork of rice into the dressing and slurps it into her mouth. Ill even see her dunking her vegetables from her salad and eating them that way.
Tofu
As a traditional food of Asia for 2,000 years, tofu is popular for its exceptional nutritional benefits. Known as a soya curd, the cheese-like food is versatile.
Tofu is bland but can easily absorb flavors from sauces and herbs. I like tofu by itself with a dab of soy or tamari sauce. It does wonders to my brown rice and stir fries or even salads.
Tofu is a vegetable protein that is easily digested. It is low in fat and reduces cholesterol. Some women report that it relieves symptoms of menopause. Like any grain product, make sure you purchase tofu that has not been genetically modified.
Enjoying new foods that are tasty and healthy can make cooking and eating a pleasurable experience. I recommend giving these foods as try. You can start gradual, take it from there and get really creative.
