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! ^_^
