Japanese food has won the hearts (and stomachs) of people all over the world. Despite Japanese dishes usually including fish and meat, the cuisine was actually once vegetarian! This was due to Buddhism being introduced into their culture in the Kofun period which then meant that it was forbidden to eat meat!

Chopsticks are used to cook, stir, serve and eat Japanese food in the Kofun period, however many people continued to eat with their hands because they couldn’t afford them.

This recipe has a few more ingredients than a lot of the rest of the meals on this website, however, I think that the great thing about oriental food is the mix of incredible flavours!
