niko2x wrote:yeah okinawan's food it very different from JPN cooking. as a matter of fact, it resemble chinese cooking moreso because of long historical trade with them. As y'all may have heard me say before, Okinawa was their own country before the JPNese annexed them..

one particular okinawan dish on that episode of Bistro SMAP cafe that looked especially good was the soki soba....dayem that shiet looked HELLA good....it was made with tonkutsu soup base...dayem i've read about it in so many forums i've been dyin' to try it some...but i don't think there is any place here in southern california that serves that up....

niko2x, have you ever eaten soki soba before?

It doesn't look like you put enough water. There are some uncooked noodles there.

maybe I did not let it soak long enough?

I thought you have to drain the water out?

Possibly. The water should completely cover the noodles

maybe you should get the bong water from your cousin and soak the noodles in that....then it would surely taste dee-lish :bonk:

I don't smoke :woot:

AhHA

I found a lead!

Ethiopian honey wine called Orit-Tej

thats why I it has a bee on the front of it.


TEJ is the Ethiopian wine made from pure Honey(honey raw with comb) cooked with hops(Gesho), and it takes a special talent to make it. I suggest you should order a bottle from Ethiopian restaurant. Be sure the wine is served cold.

and it's nasty as hell warm at room temp.

From the guy who used to eat UFO everyday when working at Vuitton......

Tips for making a great UFO......

-Open UFO foil cover slightly. Remove the sauce and furikake packets. Do not tear off entire cover! Only open up until the indicated line (line#1) in which should be labeled.
-Boil water and pour into UFO bowl, completely covering noodles. (DO NOT pour tap water and microwave as an alternative!)
-Utilizing the attatched cover, cover the UFO bowl and tuck the cover end flap under the rim of the UFO bowl. If it won't stay, take a pair of disposable chopsticks (don't break them apart though) and use the chopsticks to "pinch" the foil cover and the rim of the UFO bowl together. (It's all about the "steam action")
-Depending on whether or not you like your noodles hard or soft determines the time you wait. I like my noodles fairly hard so I only wait around 2 minutes. If you like your noodles on the softer side, wait till 3 minutes.
-To drain the hot water, peel the foil cover from the opposite side that you originally opened to pour the hot water into. (Yes, there are 2 opening tabs on the product) The second tab should have a #2 indication somewhere on it, indicating the 2nd step.
-After opening the "draining" tab, there should be a under layer of foil with strainer holes. Dump water out through there.
-After straining all the water out, tear off cover in it's entirety.
-Open the yakisoba sauce packet.
-Pour yakisoba sauce into bowl.
-Mix thoroughly.. Until every single noodle is "black"/"brown" (whatever)
-Open furikake packet.
-Generously sprinkle furikake evenly on the surface of the UFO yakisoba.
-Finally, eat and enjoy!

(For added flavor, apply a pinch of Kewpie mayo before sprinkling the furikake)
