Food, Food, and More Food Thread

Anime Dad wrote:You ever try cooking any of that stuff?

i've made simple things....like Japanese fried chicken (kara-age)...tonkatsu (fried pork cutlet), beef, chicken or pork curry...yakisoba with beef (pan-fried noodles).....

we're fortunate to have japanese groceries locally so you can get much of the stuff easily.

i'm not a great cook...but when i go out to try new restaurants i tend to focus on Japanese cuisine because it's my favorite. :)

i picked up on how to make a crunchy, moist japanese fried chicken (coated with yogurt before flouring) from watching a youtube video.

i season with sea salt, fresh cracked pepper, garlic, and ginger....then coat with plain yogurt before flouring the chicken in potato starch then deep fry.

Hey, my pleasure, man. See if you can't get it at a restaurant...that fairly easy recipe is something you can execute at home! :mrgreen:

bmwracer - not if you've seen the avocado sandwiches my mother used to make...mushed up and spread over white bread... :bleh: I've been put off of avocados for life because of her.

When you make guacamole, you mush up the avocados as well... What's the problem? :beaten:

It might be a little plain, but it's got natto beat hands down. :bleh:

hellz yeah, even though it's not as good for you....avocado trumps natto in my small book.

that was actually green curry, you're confused.

food poisoning from a fruit?

you sure it wasn't bad guacamole?

Natto on hot rice - okay. Cold, mushed avocado, with no seasonings, on soft white bread which becomes soggy and mushy after a couple of hours in a paper bag - definitely not okay. :bleh: Especially if you're 7 years old and your friends are having fried chicken and musubi for lunch.

hear hear! i second that motion...but you know what...discussing it here at least opens up one's eyes to the existence of such foods....i've found this thread to be great for disseminating information about Japanese food.

You are absolutely right about that!

try to keep this thread alive...in addition to the taste, food is a visual experience after all

And the Japanese are experts at arranging food so that is pleasing to look at as well as delicious to eat.

yeah this place is valuable in that regard...it's not merely a place to torture the hungry.

yeah to say the japanese have elevated presentation to an art form would be a gross understatement!
