For those of us who cannot afford to study in the best culinary schools in town but have the deepest desire to really know about Japanese cooking, an online cookbook is our savior. While Japanese cooking is very detailed and requires careful preparation, this should not intimidate us. We should always think that a good and healthy food is the one prepared with love. Hence, if you are after palatable, filling yet healthy meals, Japanese food is the way to go.
An online cookbook is a very good resource in trying to learn Japanese food cooking. After all, most cookbooks available in the internet do not simply list down the recipe and the procedure. Good websites often show pictures on how things such as ingredients look like; as well as how things are done. Most of these sites even list down links which can refer you to Asian groceries for your ingredient needs; and, list down blogs of ordinary cooks and extraordinary chefs. In most cases forums for question and answer is also available. Food tips to guide your cooking are also commonly available.
It is therefore not impossible to dream of learning how to make healthy Japanese food. Actually, to start with, it must be learned that the healthy component of the Japanese food does not really rely on a special cooking method, but more of the ingredients they use. If you are conscious of really coming up with the healthy stuff, you may perhaps indicate through the "search engines" located in these food sites, recipes which make use of the healthy ingredients. Among the healthy ingredients you may want to take note of are: certain kinds of fish (which have higher Omega/ healthy fat content), seaweed (rich with minerals), miso (rich in protein), sato-imo (anti-aging HA ingredient), tofu (rich in protein), shitake (high in protein, amino acids and vitamins but low is calories), are just some of the many healthy Japanese foods to try.
