in my country, traditionally our daily meal is centered around rice and miso soup.
rice is even called "main dish".
since i came to this country, i realized that how this way of eating (having core food,whole grains, supplmented by some side dishes) gives me a sense of ground-ness in this ever-changing, chaotic world.
there is even a certain way to place rice and soup in japan.
rice, on your front left side, and soup the front right side.
