well, now you know to look at the instructions before you put it in your cart ^_^ I've made that mistake before too.

I've tried looking it up online...I can't say that I really know. if it were me, I'd try cooking it a few different ways and figure out what works best. I know it's generally a just-add-hot-water thing...and whatever else you want to put in it. the stuff I have is just paste...and I add hot water, and then whatever vegetables and stuff I want to throw in.

anyway, if you're able to take a picture of the instructions on the package and post it up, someone here may be able to read it.

...and this suggestion is a bit of a hassle, but you could also head back to the market you got it from, and see if there are any other similar miso soups that have instructions in english. the preparation methods shouldn't be too different.

really though, I doubt it would hurt to put the jelly and stuff in before or after the hot water is poured.
then again, I don't quite understand what all you have. is the jelly you're talking about the miso paste itself, or is it a side ingredient?

EDIT: this is all that wikipedia has to say about it:

Instant miso soup is available in single-serving packets, and generally contains dried wakame (edible kelp) and tofu that reconstitute rapidly on the addition of hot water. These are popular in the Japanese workplace, where miso soup can be made with lunch as easily as green tea, and using the same water.

Is japanese food tastes similar to the chinese. Cos i saw a program the other day and some guy was eating fried scorpion and donkey willy. God knows what else he ate, but he had one hell of a bad stomach day.

Straight to the point: I'm new at cooking in general, and I would like to cook some Japanese food for bentou/snacks. Does anyone have an easy recepie or a recipie easy to learn that is good?

Also, for Japanese cooking, would it be best to purchase a rice cooker?
I kinda know how to make sushi.. but I've only done it like ones, and it was more like California roles since I didnt have fish cooked in it.

Thanks so much! ^_^

LoL, I'm so bad at cooking that saying I'm new to it would be an insult. Sorry, but the only japanese thing i can "cook" is cold soba, which involves boiling water, putting noodles in, dump water, then adding sauce. not sure if u add that stuff to bento boxes tho =/
