We had the spring rolls and the cookies and cream pizookie... Pretty good.

Their Jeremiah Red brew tastes great imo too

Not a beer drinker: I had two margaritas instead.

Now I'm tired and sleepy. :tired:

Does anyone know what Tamari sauce is? The new recipe I'm trying today for stir-fry asks for it.

The other sauce I'm using is Oyster Sauce. Does Soy sauce taste good with Oyster sauce?

Isn't Tamari just a special type of shoyu?

Hmm, I'd think you'd use both in moderation, since they're both typically salty. :sweat:

I've made fried rice using shoyu, then mixed in a little oyster sauce upon serving.... :victory:



EDIT: Wiki: Tamari (‚½‚Ü‚è?)

Produced mainly in the Chūbu region of Japan, tamari is darker in appearance and richer in flavour than koikuchi. It contains little or no wheat; wheat-free tamari is popular among people eating a wheat free diet. It is the "original" Japanese soy sauce, as its recipe is closest to the soy sauce originally introduced to Japan from China. Technically, this variety is known as miso-damari (–¡‘X—­‚è), as this is the liquid that runs off miso as it matures.

OHHHHH! Thank you! That helps a lot. I could find Tamari anywhere at the asian supermarket... but then I wasn't sure what I was looking for. I guess it would be right there with the other types of soy sauce. I'll just use the soy sauce I have on hand with the oyster sauce for today. Thanks for the help!

Hey, I took my Dad to some sukiyaki the other night, and we didn't get the traditional raw egg for dipping. It was a traditional restaurant. Are they leaving this out for fear of salmonella?
