Easy Meal Prep, the Japanese Way
06/22/2026 | 57 mins.
A traditional Japanese meal highlights a range of flavors and cooking methods, but that doesn't have to mean a ton of weeknight cooking. The key, according to cookbook authors Tadashi Ono and Harris Salat, is a common version of meal prep that's highlighted in their new book, Japanese Comfort Cooking. So many sozai—those side dishes that go with your rice—can be made in advance to serve over the course of a few days. In this conversation, Tadashi and Harris share a few favorites that work especially well for meal prep, as well as a handful of quick Japanese recipes that they recommend you add to your repertoire. Get their cookbook recommendation links and a preview of the book over at TheDinnerPlan.Substack.com.
