Savory Japanese-Style Breakfast

14 Replies

I’ve never met an empty carb that I didn’t like—donuts, bagels, muffins, waffles, etc. The taste may be wonderful, but I know it’s not good for my weight or my health, especially when I start my day with those trigger foods.

Sweets really do me in, so I prefer a savory option. Yes, it can seem weird eating “dinner” foods for breakfast and it does require an adjustment. Once you get into the groove, however, it’s actually nice.

This morning, I had a Japanese-style meal. I didn’t use a specific recipe for this tasty concoction, but it was inspired by Panera’s Broth Bowls, minus the noodles. 

Basically, I tossed in random ingredients like veggie broth, mushrooms, scallions, spinach, leftover meat, and boiled eggs. It was filling without being heavy and I enjoyed the salt (from soy sauce and teriyaki sauce). Soup also takes a while to eat, which gives your stomach a chance to feel satisfied without gorging. 

Definitely worth trying for anyone that needs a better breakfast, although I must admit it’s not kid-friendly. (Mine eat cereal 99% of the time!) Adventurous adults should enjoy it.

    You have inspired me – been a real challenge leading a low carb lifestyle – have two gents in the house – Husband/Son and to avoid pastas/rice/mashed potatoes is my downfall. Been looking for recipes this week to start the process for healthy living for the lady of the house – this looks delicious and will be on my retransformation list – Panera’s Broth Bowls.

      Ok, I am also a carb addict, so I totally understand why it’s hard to quit the rice, potatoes, and pasta. Those are my comfort foods. I do find that if you can cut it out entirely for 2 weeks, the cravings diminish considerably. I do cheat occasionally, but overall, I try to do low carb for my health and weight. It’s tough, I know!
