I think I have already intorduced it before :p
Just stirfry noodle and pour An(like sauce).
Usually Yakisoba is noodle and ingredients stirfried together with Okonomiyaki sauce in Japanese, but there are various yakisoba in Japan.
Especially kids love this food but I also like it :)
You can find it at Chinese restaurant near your place. Or Instant Yakisoba at JApanese groccery :p
This is "Osechi Ryori". All Japanese family prepare(or perchase), probably as traditional celebrating new year.
Most of dishes are not as usual way to cool ingredients. And looks greater than usual dishes :)
We call 31th December as "Oomisoka". I don't know why :X
Every family welcome their children or grand children coming, with unusual cuisine.
As well as, my mom bought this sashimi for my sister coming back from Osaka.
I don't remember exact amont of it, but there were a lot of people buying sashimi or sushi at market on 31th.
Maguro(Tuna), Kanpachi(maybe yellowtail) and squid sashimi. I especially like Kanpachi. Rich taste and flavor, but somehow I didn't like when I was a kid :p
I spent great time with my family with this and JApanese sake at the time.
I apologize letting you wainting for so long time.
I begun working at new office since last saturday, and everythis seems goikng well :)
Anyway, I have a lot of photo of cuisines to introduce in my cellphone.
Stay tuned!!
Being extremely busy due to job change ...:(
Will be back in 1 week. Let me apologize for inconvenience ..
Can you imagine how does this dish taste?
Generally qw can find it at Yakiniku restaurant. You can't find it at market. Freshness is important for eating dish like this.
Especially we like it as side dish for beer. Very thin sliced but taste strong.
I dip it into sesami oil, but dipping into soy sauce with ground ginger is preferable as well :)
You probably can find it at Yakiniku restaurant near your place.
Iwashi means sardine and Mentaiko is cod ovum according to dictionary.
Mentaiko is popular food in Japan but I have heard that it was imported from Korea. If you want to know more, please google it.
Head and bowel removed, and mentaiko put into abdomen.
Just purchesed at the market and grill on Pan by oil stove fire :p
I ate it for the first time but felt nice combination!
But I think it is pretty hard to eat in overseas...
I think I have already introduced in a long time ago :p
But I like it and can perchase at burgain plice if compared with Tuna sashimi, therefore I often take it in market.
I don't know the exactway how to make it, but usually sold in most of place where you can find sashimi.
If you find, try it with Japanese rice :)
What I ate these days as side dish :)
Just stirfry bacon and garlic for a couple of minutes. Add pasta.
Simple but good side dish if I'm hungry.
One of popular wat cooking Aji(Japanese horse mackerel) in Japan.
Put a little bit batter(probably flour) and deepfry it till its cooked, remove from the oil and dip into sauce and keep in fridge for a couple of hours.
Sauce is mix of soy sauce, vinegar and sugar. add this sliced onion and chopped chili if available :)
This is an arange of Chinese Mabo series :p
I'm not sure what Mabo means in English, but we recognize it as red and spice something, flavor of Chinese spice.
I introduced about Mabo dofu before, so if you want to know about, please refer to the post.
Harusame is probably tight rice noodle. We put it into Nabe cuisine generally, but boil and stirfrying with sauce is delicious as well :D
I'm not sure if I ever introduced about this strange(for foreigner) on this blog.
So if you don't know well about, please read this post.
I love it and have recommended to friend via weblog ever, but most of them can't accept :( Even if they are Japanese food lover..
Maguro Natto means Tuna and natto. In case of this, tuna is raw(as sashimi or sushi).
I think if you are reading this blog, probably you guys are intrested or like Japanese food. Including Tuna sushi(I think it is most popular Japanese food for foreigner).
I like Tuna sashimi as well, but natto make it better.
Just pour soy sauce as when you take tuna sashimi. Add wasabi if available :D
In Japan, there are oil stove set at home on this season anually.
Since top of the oil stove become hot, we gather around it and put pan onto and eat :)
Sukiyaki is one of most popula nabe cuisine in Japan as well as shabu-shabu or Kimchi nabe that I introduced before.
Stirfly this sliced beef with soy sauce and sugar, and put vegetables and boil them. Ingredients will be tasty coating with the fat of the beef.
We usually prepare sauce for each nabe cuisine, but in case of sukiyaki, we put in into raw egg. It is just like sauce for sukiyaki :p
Not Tonkotsu but I also like this ramen :)
Have you ever tasted Miso soup? There are so many foreigner like Japanese food, but only few guys like Miso or Miso soup.
It it one of mosttraditional ingredients of Japanese cuisine so we like it.
Ramen was imported from China but Tonkotsu and Miso Ramen are developed by Japanese, I believe.
Note that the noodle are not same. For tonkotsu, tight noodles are used, for Miso, thick are mostly used :p
I don't think there are only few restaurant serve it in overseas :(
I want to go to Yakiniku restaurant on every weekend but if do so, I can't save money to do what I want to do :(
If I can't bear, just buy cheap meat at market. After 6 PM, most of meats are discounted.
As I said before, I believe that sauce is important for yakiniku. So research which one is most delicious prior to going store :p
The meats from NZ was not bad, but sauce made it delicious. Japanese beef are delicious but sold at foolish plice.
lol I'm introducing strange food again :p
This is Nissin's latest line up "Milk seafood noodle".
If you know about Nissin's seafood noodle ever, you can imagine taste of this.
I think milk added to ordinary seafood noodle, and maintain taste and this one made up.
I love seafood noodle, and also Milk seafood noodle :)
I strongly recommend this to you. But I don't think you can find it in your countries yet(or never).
If so, just buy ordinary Nissin's seafood noodle at Japanese grocery and add a little bit milk.
A lot of Japanese like eating it as so.
I think you have never tried this one.
Most of you would know what is gyoza, because it is one of most popular chinese cuisine. "Dumpling" in English.
Usually, inside of skin that is made of flour, there are mix of ground meats and chopped vegetables. But my mum replace it into tuna.
Not raw tuna as sashimi or sushi, I think you can find canned tuna(with oil) in every coutries. That is used for this case.
pick up tuna block and break it into flakes, mix with chopped onion, add salt and ground black pepper for seasoning.
Grill like as ordinary gyoza for a couple of minutes.
I like to eat this diped into ponzu, but probably other sauce can be used for this.
If you are one of person like gyoza, you must try it. I'm sure it make you surprised and satisfied :D
Yes, long time has passed by since last time, we finally could eat yakiniku yesterday :D
We went to reasonable yakiniku restaurant, so the meats are not soft, tasty but it made us satisfied.
We believe that taste of sauce is important for yakiniku, not as other sauce i.e tonkatsu hot pot.
They serve delicious yakiniku sauce at burgain plice everyday. Just 1.5 USD for a beer, 2.5 USD per 1 plate of any meat.
I wish I could go back there as soon as possible :)
This is chanpon men that I intoroduced a long time ago :p
My favorite Ramen is Tonkotsu ramen, and the soup of Chanpon men are made by Tonkotsu soup.
Tonkotsu means bones of pork, crash them and boil for more than 12 hours with a various vegetables.
Chanpon men is add seafood into tonkotsu soup and boil together for a couple of minutes.
Generally, shrimp, squid, scalop are added.
Have you ever eaten Nissin's seafood noodle?
It is similar as Chanpon men that I sometimes order at Mmy favorite ramen restaurant :p
Can be found at every Japanese grocery in your country.
Saba is mackerel in English. Amazu is like sweet and sour sauce as you can imagine.
Simply batter mackerel and deepfry, and mix with the sauce.
I don't know if this sauce is original of Japan, but so popular. Every Japanese wives know how to cook it.
Just pour vinegar, soy sauce and sugar. After boiled for a couple of minutes, add potato starch to make it sticky.
Can be used for fried chicken, or pork. Chicken with sweet and sour sauce(Tori no amazu) is most popular in Japan :D
