lol...i i wish i was wortjy of that appelation....in any event...sounds like you had a good meal. ^_^ Very nice, man.

i enjoy hearing others enjoyment of japanese food, given my affinity for it.

the crispy, crunchy "friedness" that is kara-age is great with ponzu because the acid that is ponzu cuts thru the fat of the fried chicken and marries with it so well.

edit: sorry man i love rhyme and limmeriks....a somewhat unhealthy obession of mine :bow:
i'm happy to hear you had a great meal, man :)

:lol: nice, A.D. I actually have some of their soba noodles at home...i figure if they are made in Australia and i can get them in L.A. you should be able to grab some in Australia where they are made!

Toshi Koshi, ne! Naru hodo.

Yeah, i'll have to take a look. I don't remember ever seeing them before... Mrs A.D usually does the grocery shopping.

I like the sound of this recipe: http://www.hakubaku.com/index.php?pgid=soba_beef_chilli_mushroom

my cooking is inconsistent but this is my homemade kara-age and curry potato croquette w/broccoli over steamed rice....

i use a store bought seasoned flour to batter the chicken before frying.

simple, but because i'm a guy without culinary experience it takes a long time to prep, dude. :sweat: i like making it though despite the fact it's been a while. :)

Still, it got done... Did it taste as good as it looked?

i have to admit i enjoy it..i seasoned the chicken with fresh cracked pepper and sea salt as well as minced garlic and ginger...then i coat the chicken with a teaspoon of yogurt (a trick i learned from a japanese cooking show) to lock in the moisture of the chicken prior to frying....before frying i coat the chicken in seasoned flour, the batter, and then fry.....

the chicken comes out crispy & flavorful yet moist..... :victory:

too bad the youtube cooking clip i picked up the tip from is no longer available or else i would have posted it here. honestly, i'm not feigning modesty, it's nothing to brag about but it works out well, man! :)

simple cooking, i imagine like when you whip out the chicken katsu with bulldog sauce, bro ^_^
