Tu_triky wrote:interesting so you steam it the microwave and then crisp it in the oven....sounds good. :mrgreen:

Cuts the cooking time, otherwise you'd have to bake a tater for an hour or more at 350F-400F... :sweat:

do you then slather it with butter like @ Shinsegumi

Nah, typically sour cream and freshly cut chives or green onion.

Dang, getting hungry now... Time to hit the rower.

We are excited to announce our special 15th Anniversary event, hosting the Japanese-American Cultural and Charity Summer Festival at our main Yakitori restaurant in Gardena on Sunday, August 26th, 2007.

With this in our mind, the event will include yatai (food stalls), games, traditional theatrical performance, karate demonstration, and festival dance & music. Our delighted guest is the traditional dance performers from the Amami Island, Japan, which has been selected as the world heritage site.

I just thought it would be cool to post...it's a very small affair but it might be nice to stop by if you're in the neighborhood.

P.S. No stinkin' tofu!

I've always wanted to do that. Maybe I should try checking out the next Japanese festival here.

Are you talking about the Nodame Cafe?

No, not a cafe, just a shop that sells all kinds of stuff related to the anime. Here's the web page www.nodame-anime.com

But this is not a recommendation! :tired:

Don't you know? His carpet IS panko!

And that's really a stick of butter in there? I've never heard of that before, but it kind of sounds disgusting. Have you tried it?

no i haven't ...i've only heard about it....guess cuz Hokkaido is the most famous location for the production of Japanese milk and butter they integrated it into their local ramen tradition.

I've have more traditional ramen sans butter. I admit it does seem weird but given the fact that tonkotsu ramen broth is so rich anyway...and the butter probably melts...I guess I'd have to try it before calling it wack.

I once ate a local Japanese izakaya and had some ribeye in a soy sauce-butter reduction...it was delicious.

LOL, I didn't notice that until you pointed it out... :)
