Answer 1

Miso Soup is one of my favorites here is the recepie:
You will need
1 cake medium-firm tofu
8 dried shiitake mushrooms
1 large carrot - stemmed, peeled and thinly sliced at an angle
3 1/2 c. vegetable broth
1 head bok choy - rinsed, thick stems removed and greens thinly sliced
1/4 tsp. white pepper
2 green onions - sliced thinly crosswise
4 tbsp. red or brown miso paste
1 tsp. roasted sesame oil
2 tbsp. toasted white sesame seeds

This is how you make it.
1.Cut the tofu into 1/2-inch-thick slices and stack between two paper towels. Place the stack between two plates and weight the top plate with a heavy pot or cast-iron skillet.
2.Allow to drain for 30 minutes.
3.Bring a small pan with 2 c. water to a simmer and add the shiitakes to it.
4.Allow to simmer for 2 minutes and then remove from heat. Let the shiitakes soak in the water for 15 minutes.
5.Bring the carrots and broth to a boil in a large pot. Lower the heat to medium and cook for 9 minutes.
6.Meanwhile, remove the shiitakes from the soaking water. Strain the water into the carrots and broth.
7.Slice the shiitakes into thin strips and add to the pot.
8.Add the bok choy and pepper to the pot and cook for about 4 minutes.
9.Cut the tofu into small cubes.
10.Take 1/2 c. of the broth and mix it in a separate bowl with the miso, until smooth. Add this mixture back to the pot along with the tofu and reduce the heat to medium-low
11. Cook for another 3 minutes and then serve, garnished with the green onion, sesame oil and seeds.

Here is one for an Egg Roll:
You will need
1 c. bean sprouts
1/2 head cabbage -cut into very thin strips
2 tbsp. canola oil - plus 4 c. for frying
1 large carrot - peeled and cut into very thin, short strips
2 ribs celery - very thinly sliced
1/4 tsp. Chinese five-spice powder
1 tbsp. cornstarch
24 egg roll wrappers
2 tbsp. flour
2 tbsp. oyster sauce
4 scallions - thinly sliced
1 tsp. toasted sesame oil
6 dried shiitake mushrooms -rehydrated for 30 minutes in hot water, sliced into thin strips
1 tsp. soy sauce

This is how you make it.
1. Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. When the wok is hot, add 2 tbsp. canola oil
2. Add the mushrooms and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the cabbage and carrots and stir-fry until the cabbage is slightly wilted.
3.Add the scallions, celery and bean sprouts and stir-fry until the bean sprouts are slightly softened. Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, five-spice powder and oyster sauce.
4.Stir in enough cornstarch to thicken the sauce to the consistency of honey. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
5. Mix the flour with 2 tbsp. water in a bowl.
6.Place a wrapper, smooth side down, at a diagonal to you on a cutting board. Place 2 or 3 large tbsp. of filling just above the bottom corner of the wrapper.
7. Bring the bottom corner tightly over the filling once. Fold in the side corners, then make one more roll over the filling.
8.In the space left between the roll and the top corner, smear a little of the flour and water mixture, then seal the corner to the roll.
9.Place the roll on a plate lined with paper towels with the sealed edge facing down. Repeat with the remaining wrappers.
10.Heat the remaining canola oil in a high-sided saucepan over medium-high to high heat. Use tongs to grab each roll, keeping the sealed edge held shut by one of the prongs (this will prevent the egg roll from opening during frying). Holding the tongs steady, dip the egg roll into the hot oil and fry it until golden brown.
11.Once the roll starts to take on some color, release it fully into the oil. The wrapper will have become firm enough to stay closed on its own.
12.Remove the egg roll to a plate lined with paper towels and keep it warm. Repeat the process with the remaining egg rolls.
13.Serve with sweet-and-sour sauce, hot mustard and soy sauce for dipping.

Hope it Helps!

Answer 2

I like Natty's answer. There are a number good Japanese dishes listed there. If you select the ramen noodles, you can buy the basic ramen noodles VERY inexpensively ($.10 - $.25) at most grocery stores, add a bit of celery, mushroom, bean sprouts, or carrot and maybe a bit of leftover pork, and have a passable quick meal.

Surfergirl's recipes look good too - especially the miso.
