This is UTSUWABI editorial staff.
This time, we will introduce a stylish one-plate dish.
One plate is a tableware for serving multiple side dishes.
The advantage of using a one-plate dish is that you can finish cooking with just one plate, so there is less washing
up to do.
It's especially good for busy breakfasts.
Also, since you can get a lot of ingredients at once, you can expect nutritional balance.
This article
introduces various types of one-plate dishes.
I want to see what kind of plates are available first! You can view it here.
1. How to choose a one-plate dish
■If you are worried, this is it! One piece recommended for one plate dish

With its easy-to-use size and colors that blend in with your daily life, even beginners to one-plate cooking can easily arrange the dishes.
■Three points to choose a one-plate dish
1. The size is approximately 21-24cm in diameter
If you are worried about the size, we recommend choosing one with a diameter of approximately 21 to 24 cm (8 to 9
inch).
If it is about 24 cm, it is large enough to hold rice with several side dishes.
The key is to choose a size that is large enough to maintain a good balance if you leave a little space on the plate.
2. Flat shape
If you choose a plate with a flat surface, you can place each dish neatly on it.
You can also add a small bowl of mini salad on top to expand the range of coordination.
3. Decorated rim

frame.
