I like chitlins. As long as I don't spend too much time thinking about what they are. And if you ever cook them, make sure all the windows are open and all your fans are going full blast!!

Monjayaki! Goes nicely with a frosty beer. :mrgreen:

Looks tasty! You know what goes nicely with a frosty beer? Another frosty beer.

I think tonight is a gyoza night... Haven't had any in over a month, I think. :sweat:

Is monjayaki similar to okonomiyaki (kansai)? It looks delicious!
I didn't get to try enough different food when I was in Japan since I was at the mercy of my relatives. After I got home, my cousin said there were so many other food she wanted me try but time ran out... :mecry:

Do you usually make your own or buy the bag and cook it yourself or eat it restaurants?

More times than not, I buy a bag (DayLee Pride or Ajinomoto) from Mitsuwa. :)

I'm too lazy to try to make my own... And restaurant gyoza is pricey, typically 3-4 bucks for a half-dozen... I can buy an entire bag of 50 for four bucks. :mrgreen:

You're right about that! I make it occasionally for the family and I've made as many as 350! The family pitches in with the wrapping. Don't do it too often since it's a lot of work (because I make so many). I occasionally by the bag, too!!

Thanks for the link!! I remember in Kekkon Dekinai Otoko, Abe and his wife talked about going to eat it but she went to eat it with her boss..... :(

350??? :shocked:

Yow. :sweat:

Next time you make some, I'll be sure to invite myself over. :beaten:

Sure, you can help with the wrapping, too! :beaten:

One day I'm going to make the filling with shrimp and pork.... my mother used to make it and it was delicious! My cousin in Japan said she just had some with kurobuta and it was exceptionally good, too! I missed so many good food...gotta go back again!

Wow, kurobuta gyoza??

Now those would be pricey at a restaurant... :sweat:

That HAS to be absolutely delicious!

Dayem, you know how juicy that gyoza filling must be...it must be amazing. :drooling:

It ain't juicy gyoza but my weekly crack habit....a spinach salad (w/ hazelnuts & goat cheese) and albacore tuna.
