Salarymen’s breakfasts

Really quick, short-order Japanese breakfast sets at home for my husband and his coworker.
It was really last minute , so no fish.

I’m thinking I’m ready to open up my own shoukudou. 🤭😅

First set: simple miso soup with wakame, Japanese bacon, and fuu; very runny yolk sunny side egg with katsuobushi (thick sashimi-style shoyu on the side); takuan, umeboshi, takana pickles; rice with toasted sesame (basic furikake).

Second set: quick tonjiru* using precooked ingredients**; takuan, umeboshi, takana pickles; plain white rice; store-bought single serving natto; nori.

I used the same dashi and white miso to make 2 different miso shiru.

• Quick tonjiru is the same as miso shiru with prepared ingredients and a little extra miso for flavor. To do this, I made the first miso soup (wakame is added after), took out one serving, then added all the tonjiru ingredients except the miso m, returned it to a boil to heat everything up, then stirred in more miso.

**boiled carrot, daikon, gobo from the fridge. I do these separately once a week as a time-saver for bentos etc. Some boiled potatoes reserved from potato salad. Blanched cabbage (frozen) and sliced pork (frozen).
