My mom uses recipes from the Korean cooking blog [Maangchi.com](www.maangchi.com) — looks like she has a cookbook too
I know this is isn’t exactly what you asked for, but since you enjoyed Night + Market’s cookbook and you’re from LA, I’d suggest you check out Roy Choi’s cookbook LA Son
It isn’t exactly authentic, but an LA specific take and his personal stories are also interesting
A lot of Japanese bento dishes are meant to be eaten at room temperature rather than microwaved. I've gotten a lot of recipes from Effortless Bento which have been very tasty. You could also check out Just One Cookbook, which has some bento recipes too.
There’s instant pot bible
This sub is a great resource! The menu tab has links to pretty amazing recipes. I also recommend the cookbook "Let's Make Ramen" https://www.amazon.com/dp/0399581995/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_LhplFbT14KB8C

This is a great book

Cook chili or ribs in it and you will be hooked forever! One of my favorite recipe sources is Pressure Luck cooking the author (Jeffrey Eisner) also has an awesome incredibly easy/user friendly recipe book to get you started.
The Instant Pot Bible is like a tutorial handbook and recipe book all in one. Absolutely fantastic and should be owned by anyone seriously wanting to understand using it.
Ivan Ramen is a good place to start. Japanese Soul Cooking has some good recipes as well.
Very proud of my first attempt, any tips to improve (recipe or from how it looks)
Recipe From "River Cottage Veg Every Day! from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall"
Serves 4
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 35-40 minutes
Ingredients
1 tbs olive or rapeseed oil
40 g butter
1 large onion, finely chopped
800ml hot vegetable stock
200g risotto rice
100ml white wine
250-300g baby carrots
150g baby broad beans
20g parmesan cheese, finely grated
A handful of chopped flat-leaf parsley,
salt and freshly ground pepper
olive or rapeseed oil to serve
Method
Heat the oil and 25 g butter in a large pan over a medium heat.
Add the onion and fry gently for 8-10 minutes, until softened.
Stir the rice into the onion and cook for a minute or two, then stir again. Add the wine and bring to a simmer.
Cook for a few minutes, stirring from time to time, until the wine is absorbed.
Start adding the hot stock a ladleful at a time, stirring frequently and add more stock as it is absorbed. It should take about 20-25 minutes for the stock to be absorbed and for the rice to be cooked but still al dente.
Add the carrots when the rice has been cooking for about 12 minutes; put the broad beans in about 5 minutes from the end of the cooking time.
When the rice and vegetables are cooked, turn off the heat.
Add the cheese and the remaining butter, cover and leave for a couple of minutes.
Add most of the parsley and season to taste.
Serve in bowls with the remaining parsley scattered over and trickle over a little oil.
Bento box recipes are designed for a single serving.
I'm a big fan of Effortless Bento. I've only found one recipe in the book I can't stand. It is an invaluable guide for food prep. The majority of the books 300 or so recipes are less than 5 ingredients, so you can alter them quite easily by simply changing the flavor profiles if you don't like Japanese food. There are also cooking tips in the book that you can apply to most types of cuisine
oh i think i might know something kind of about this!
this one youtuber brutalmoose made a video about the ramen joy cookbook, and since he couldnt get his hands one an actual copy of the cathy mitchell one, he found one called "Ramen Noodle Recipes" which (possibly, im only going off what he says) has the exact same recipes. even has a really similar cover
here is a link to it on amazon https://www.amazon.com/Noodle-Recipes-Editors-Publications-International/dp/1450849482
Ivan Ramen: Love, Obsession, and Recipes from Tokyo's Most Unlikely Noodle Joint https://www.amazon.com/dp/1607744465/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_XW1E7ARRG3XJJCN8CPXY
He focuses on his shio which he is known for. Really good read with hard ingredients to source if you want to make it by the book.
Can I come to your party?
Seriously, Maangchi has a great recipe for it in her first cookbook.
I bought this cookbook and it helped a lot. It designates which stage each recipe fits (liquids, soft, puréed, etc).

I also subscribed to Bariatric Food Coach for a few months. TONS of recipes from a Bariatric dietician and she will personally respond to your emails if you subscribe. It was great.
I own this book, this was my first guide in to the Instant Pot and everything I made using it was excellent. After this, i just Google Instant Pot recipes. But the book was an excellent starting point.

There's a pulled recipe in The Instant Pot Bible which is 3/4 cup root beer, 2.5 lbs. skinless chicken breasts, a couple thinly sliced onions, 6 tbsp. of barbecue sauce, and some garlic powder that works basically the same (just adjust cooking time for amount of chicken).
I joined the Cult of the Instant Pot about 6 months ago. It's really great. I cook with it several times a week. It's great at making rice -- yes, I know, rice isn't that hard, but it's similar to a rice cooker in that you don't have to babysit it like the stove, and brown rice takes half the time. I also love it for hard boiled eggs, which come out perfectly every time, no more annoying sticky shells. But the real fun is doing roasts -- I've been making my mother's Jewish brisket recipe for years by putting it in the slow cooker for 10 hours, but now it's finished in 2 in the instant pot AND IT'S EVEN MORE TENDER.
Take a look at the Pressure Luck Cooking website to see some ideas. His recipes are meticulously done and easily repeatable. I've been using his cookbook since day 1 and literally everything I've made from there has been delicious. The kids love the Butter Chicken Bowties!
I'd say the one thing to be aware is that making a full meal in the instant pot, start to finish, takes 45 minutes to an hour. This can be cut down considerably once you're used to it -- you can pre-prep veggies or use frozen, etc. But just know that going in.
Aside from that, it's been fabulous. I may buy a smaller one so I can more easily make two dishes at once.
A bento is a Japanese lunch box. Bento recipes are typically simple and have only a few ingredients. Since the Japanese don't draw much of a distinction between particular foods and meal times, many of the recipes are also good for breakfast, dinner, and snacks.
This is a pretty good recipe book. It contains individual recipes, full meal plans, meal prep instructions, storage times for pre-cooked meals and ingredients, etc..
I recommend the book Effortless Bento. It contains recipes for some 300 mains and sides, plus a few ideas for meals.
It goes through nutrition, divided foods into what can be frozen, what can be refrigerated and what should be made fresh, as well as food safety.
We’ve been here a year (moved from Hong Kong)... not thrilled at the ramen offerings... but a quick visit to Malden’s big Asian supermarket and the super fun book “Let’s Make Ramen” (a “graphic novel”/recipe book combined!) solved this handily for us.
I think you need the book. It's a great way to start. The other commenter mentioned Ramen Lord, but that's his actual book. Which is free. Which is awesome.
Another one I quite like is Let's Make Ramen because it's fun to read and the recipes are a great starting place.
This was my first book.
But the book of ramen is also an excellent resource
This is the best of the ones I have. I’ve made a dozen or so of the recipes. The desserts are so so but the meals come out well. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0316460834/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
My wife is a vegetarian (and so for ease so am I at home) and we use this book. Some of the tastiest meals I've ever had are from this book. Also Matt Pritchard or Dirty Sanchez fame has a vegan book which has some good receipes. They both use everyday ingredients.
Quite often the processed vegetarian products for sale are loaded with salt to add flavour.
