One thing I like about Asian "meals" is that some cultures tend to build their meals in a set formula. So you could basically just make some rice and then make as many side dishes as you'd like and call it a meal.

My low-effort meal that I make when I have no time is half a cup of white rice, two eggs, broccoli, and kimchi. I just cook up some rice, boil or fry the two eggs (making sure to leave the yolk uncooked), heat up some frozen broccoli, and put some kimchi on the side. Season the eggs with a bit of soy sauce (or eat plain), and season the broccoli with sesame oil, soy sauce, and black pepper.

Here are some ideas for actual side dishes that you could eat with rice:

If you have access to a place that sells miso (and not the instant packets), you could make miso soup. I actually use instant bonito granules instead of bonito flakes to make the dashi stock (just mix some granules with water). Heat the stock on the stove on low-medium heat, mix in some cubed firm tofu. You can add other stuff too like chopped green onions, reconstituted wakame, or enoki mushrooms. You're not supposed to mix the miso in when the water is boiling as it can make the miso kind of clumpy, but I ignore this if I'm feeling lazy.

If you have too much miso for just soup, you can make a condiment called negimiso. Basically, you fry up some chopped green onions in a pan, toss in some miso, and toss in some water. Reduce the mixture a little bit until it gets the paste-like consistency you want. I like to then spread this paste onto some tofu slices and then fry the slices until the negimiso blackens a bit. You could also fry thin layers of the paste in a pan until it turns crispy, then use it to crumble on top of some rice for flavor. By the way, JustHungry and JustBento are both great resources for Japanese recipes. That's where I learned how to make tamagoyaki.

Another favorite of mine is a Korean potato-based side dish called gamja jorim. I've used this recipe before, and it turned out pretty well.

You could also make a stir-fry on the cheap. If you're not vegetarian, you can use chopped chicken breast, beef, or even ground turkey to add some protein. In this case, you should cook the meat first. For basic seasoning, I use ginger (ground ginger is fine in a pinch, but fresh grated ginger tastes better), salt, and black pepper. You can find a lot of different recipes for stir-fry sauce online, but I honestly just buy premade sauce and use that. You could even use tonkatsu sauce if you wanted. For the vegetables, I usually chop up half a head of cabbage, two carrots, and half a yellow onion. You can also add / substitute bell peppers, snap peas, or pretty much anything you can think of. Throw the veggies in with the meat and sauce, mix it around, then put it over some rice.

For another variation on stir-fry, you could also make something like yakisoba, although it tastes less legit if you don't actually use soba, which can sometimes be difficult to find or expensive.

miso.... you need Miso Paste, Bonito stock(you can make it yourself with bonito flakes, but this is faster.), and optionally Wakame Seaweed.

Ingredients

Not pictured: enoki mushrooms, green onions

Pork Recipe from Serious Eats

Egg Recipe also from Serious Eats

I boiled about 1 Cup water, added 2/3 cup beef stock and turned the stove down a bit to maintain a small simmer. Added cubed firm tofu and a handful of enoki. Added a pinch of this and a dash of soy sauce. Let this simmer on the stove for about a minute, then added the packet of Ramen noodles. After the noodle softens (about a minute), stir in 1 tbsp of miso paste. Simmer for 1 more minute and transfer to bowl. Immediately dunk in the 2 halves of soft boiled eggs and slices of pork to let them heat up a bit.

Top with chopped up spring onions and sriracha.

All this is missing is a few servings of vegetables, which is what salads are for.

I can seriously eat this every day.

Traditionally maybe, but a number of commercial brands list MSG as a separate ingredient, rather than Kombu or other seaweed.

Whether it's seaweed powder or some other form of MSG, I don't think it matters. I think this is much like the "No Nitrates Added" bacon where they add celery powder instead of straight nitrite/nitrate and instead if comes from celery powder.

currently i live in japan. my local grocery store sells it fresh. also you can buy powered form like a pixie stick. called hon-dashi.

I like this one too for the office. I use about a tsp of the granules for about 12 oz water then miso paste to taste.

I like to add it to the water I boil the noodle in. Then the flavor seems to get into every single noodle really well. The same can be done with sriracha, or really any sauce.

I also like to add a dash of powdered hondashi to mine. If you don't like fish, you probably shouldn't try this, but man, that stuff is savory!

Also, remember you can buy sesame seeds in bulk in a lot of grocery stores. 1lb of them is a LOT and is much cheaper than buying them on the spice aisle. You can toast them by putting them on a cookie sheet in the oven at 325 for about 5 min. Just keep an eye on them and take them out when they look slightly toasted, then let them cool and store them in something airtight.

I've never seen dashi sold in cans like chicken stock so you may have been too specific in what you asked for. The markets should carry what you need to make it from scratch (fish flakes and seaweed) and they'll have the instant granules. The instant really isn't bad at all.
