I walked into a Vietnamese Supermarket today and was mind-boggled at all the crazy foods that I either had no idea what it was or I did know what it was- but didn't know was edible.
I'm not a fan of Americanized versions of these foods and was hoping to find some source that teaches how to use these unfamiliar ingrediants. I'd especially like to get some answers from someone who regularly shops at any of these Asian market type stores. I'd be fine with any other Oriental styles as well: Thai, Chinese, Korean, and maybe Japanese.
I went to tokyo steakhouse the other night, and the chefs cook fried rice infront of you..looked real easy. I cant find a recipe thats similar to theres. Rice,carrots,peas, butter, and some kind of sauce..anyone know?
I recently received a Wok as a gift. However I have no idea how to use it. Can anyone provide me with recipes or links to make japanese/chinaese cuisine such as Shrimp Fried Rice, or Teriyaki Chicken, or Shrimp Tempura?
Thanks All!!
My husband's Japanese and a picky eater. I am a foreigner here in Japan. Are there any good recipes online or anyone who know really tasty dishes to cook for winter?
Let me preface by saying I'm no chef, and only started cooking this year.
Mantou is a sort of steamed rice bun hailing from Japan. I recently went to a Japanese supermarket and picked up a package of frozen chocolate mantous out of curiosity, but the things are incredibly rubbery and bland by themselves. I'm interested in trying to do something to them to make them into really delectable treats, but any recipes I find on the internet are for making mantous from scratch, not doing something fun with already-made mantous.
I tried coating it in butter and cinnamon powder, frying it, and then slathering it with chocolate syrup... And although that DID make it less rubbery, it still wasn't very amazing. Does anyone have any ideas on what I could do with these things? Even something geared away from a "sweet treat" would probably be OK as the chocolate flavor is so faint that it'd probably just disappear in the process of cooking it.

I want to make sushi, and the recipe states that I need to use Japanese rice. I know not to use American rice; the confusion comes from whether I should use sticky rice (used in Chinese cooking to make lo mei fan in dim sum) or just regular, non-glutinous Asian rice. The recipe site I visited referred to Japanese rice as sticky rice, so now I'm confused. :/
There is an amazing little Japanese restaurant here in Richmond Hill, Ga. called Shintos they serve rice, veggies (sauteed zucinni and such), and a meat (shrimp, chicken, steak, etc.) OH and shrimp sauce! Their rice is incredible. It has no veggies in it, they are cooked seperate, there is no egg either, so, none of the recipes i find for are quite right, i believe it has soy sauce and they add a clear liquid while they cooking it (they cook it on a flat griddle like thing) maybe, seaseme oil??? Any thoughts on what the recipe may be???
There are NO VEGGIES directly in the rice.....the veggies are sauteed and served beside the rice...not cooked in it....Thanks for tryin =]
I am cooking in Japan. My problem is, alot of recipes I find
in my english cookbooks and online, include, cream of tartar.
I cant find this in the Japanese supermarkets that I go to.
Does anyone know what the japanese name for cream of tartar is?
Hello, I was going through some recipes for different kinds of Japanese soups and stews and most of the recipes recommend cracking open a raw egg into each bowl right before serving.
Does the hot broth cook the egg, and if so, does it taste good? I understand it's not a beaten egg, and I was hoping some one could explain the process in more detail and assure me that it's yummy and won't make me sick, lol.
I'm not looking for a recipe book, although some recipes would be nice. What I'm really after is a book that will teach me how to cook. I want something that covers the basics, like how to julienne a carrot and butterfly a trout, but also goes on to more advanced sauces and preparations. I'm open to professional cooking textbooks, if you can recommend a good one.
Key qualities of the book:
It should be mostly about European cuisine, as that is my primary interest. My girlfriend loves to make Japanese food and has her own books for that purpose. :-)
It should be comprehensive and well-indexed, such that it can be used as a reference.
It should explain the theoretical underpinnings of cooking and baking. I want to know why recipes are the way they are, and how different ingredients and methods contribute to final results.
Finally, please remember that I can search Amazon.com myself. I'm looking for personal recommendations; what have you used that worked for yo
It looks like the end of my question got messed up somehow. It should read "..worked for you?"
I love to eat at a local Japanese Grill where the food is cooked in front of you. I would like to know how to make chicken/steak/shrimp taste as good as their food. I plan to help make this for a party. I plan to ask the cook next time I go but I was hoping someone here would know.
I know the cook uses some sort of oil, butter, mushrooms, thin-sliced zucchini and onions. I'm not sure if any teriyaki or soy sauce is used... Or they use very little.
Any help is appriciated.
Here is a link to what it looks like- I would appreciate any suggestions. I purchased it from Goodwill and the instruction manual was only in Japanese.

All the food looks SOOOO good but I need recipes and I need to know how to cook it. I also don't know how to read the labels so I have to look up everything and write down the Japanese word so I can find it in the store.
I can only recognize one thing by the packaging: natto.
Of course I love it but it sucks when that's the only thing you trust yourself to buy.
The recipe has to be easy to prepare, to cook and to clean up after. It needs to reflect Japanese culture. It also needs to be really tasty and no it cannot be sushi. It also has to be somewhat uncommon
I need one of two things
1. recipes for a japanese school lunch. I mean japanese school lunch.
2. or where is a servise to cook me one.
I live in Gainesvile GA
I often eat at Japanese restaurants, and they make very good-tasting rice. However, when I try to make it at home, it comes out tasting horribly.
What is the special recipe that they use.
P.S. I've tried many of the recipes online, however those tend to offer the same thing with a little variation here and there, and it never comes out the same way. Please help!
I am trying to find a recipe for how to make the rice served in Japanese restaurants (without the veggies, usually cooked with one egg) and also how to make the yum-yum sauce that is served with the rice. Any ideas or suggestions?
I'm looking for the rice recipe with NO veggies. All I see used in the restaurants is an egg or two....I'd like to know how to make this at home.
The "yum yum sauce" is what they call their shrimp sauce.

A recipe I have starts with cooking soba noodles according to package directions, which are in Japanese. I don't know nearly enough Japanese to translate it.
Thank you.

And I also would like to know some basic japanese manners when eating. I'm supposed to make it seem like we're in actual japan, kinda. For the full effect, because we don't have the money to travel.
Any help appreciated!^^
P.S. What are some good things to put in the center of an onigiri, and do you cook the rice first to make an onigiri?
Oh, and what are some good drinks that would go well with japanese food(no alchohol, please{I'm only thirteen})?
I was assigned Japan in my cooking class, and I am supposed to cook 3-5 different Japanese dishes. Any good suggestions (besides sushi)? It doesn't necessarily have to be an easy one. ;)
Can anybody help me with a good recipe for Okonomiyaki (sorry if I didn't spell it properly). I have recently discovered it thanks to a new Japanese cafe in my home town and I'm keen to give it a try at home. Also, What is the other sauce that goes on top? (Not the Mayo)
Ok,
for my year 9 International Cuisine technology project, I've been cooking Japanese dishes.
For each dish, i have to create a time plan, evaluation, specification, etc.
So far i've made 'Pork dumplings with Sticky Rice' and 'Terriyaki chicken with Sesame Green Beans'.
Both were DELICIOUS and i got a 7A (my target level) for both.
I want to try and push myself to an 8, but i can't find a suitable recipe.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
It needs to be something with lots of components, and it doesn't matter what kind of meal it is (so long as it's Japanese, or at least seems Japanese!)
Thanks!
Rach
If you could, post the recipe here please. I don't really like having to click links as it slows my computer =P
Oh and it has to be originally from Japan -.- sorry I didnt mention this
I have a few Japanese-language cookbooks with recipes which use 'shishitou' - they look to me like regular supermarket green chilies but are used similarly to a vegetable, so are obviously not as hot. I usually substitute large green chilies from my local Indian grocers which have very little heat but otherwise with the flavour of a chili rather than a sweet bell-type pepper. Am I on the right tracks?
Also, how hot are red tougarashi usually? In pictures these look like the fairly hot chilies I can get locally but even halving the amount given in a recipe the result was excessively hot, which seems unlikely to me given the fairly tame nature of "hot" Japanese curry roux.
Finally I notice from the photgraphs that Japanese green bell peppers are different to the one available here - ours are large and thick fleshed, but the Japanese ones seem quite small and uneven, with a thin flesh more like chili peppers. Does anyone know if there is a corresponding difference in flavour?
I have seen shishitou described in English as 'sweet' before; I guess what I am asking is are they really sweet like a bell pepper, or does 'sweet' refer to the lack of heat? The substitution I made was with a heatless chili - the flavour is chili not bell pepper, and other then the lack of heat these are not noticably 'sweet'. (Not a huge difference I know, but I am curious about the difference between ピーマン and ししとう)
Also, when I ask about red peppers I mean fresh. Not often used I know, but I have a couple of recipes which do.
Okay, so my family and I have friday as our little international food night, where we all sit down in the dining room, and eat food from a place like australia or italy(like NOTHING BUT food from whatever place), and we go all out and dress up like them(to teh best of our abilities) and hang up stuff on the walls like it's a party or something. lol It just so happens that it is my turn, and we have all voted for japanese(I have to cook it, too).
If you have ANY recipes for me, whatsoever, I will be very appreciative!!^^
P.S. I am making Onigiri, and I would like some ideas forwhat to put in the center of the Onigiri.^^ If you could give me some ideas, thank you!
Thankies everyone, but please, give me some ideas for what to put in my onigiri, too.^^
I am an anime-obsession fangirl, and I've been looking for Japanese recipes. Does anyone know any or know where I can get some easily? And don't say "allrecipes", I tried that.
I'm trying to use a recipe for Soboro, and the ingredients call for Cooking Sake which I don't have at the moment.
I don't have any sherry or white wine either, but I do have some shaoxing in the cupboard - will it work?
Also have mirin, too.
Thanks!
I should probably add that the recipe calls for both mirin and sake. Hmmmn, confusing!
I'd thought I do something sweet for my boyfriend and make him his favorite food which is Japanese. We never get to eat it since its so expensive so I thought I'd cook it. I'm a begginer cook so difficult recipes please or any great websites would be appreciated. Thank you in advanced. Also, congratulations to all those who answered this question for the 2 points.
I ate this as an appetizer and a meal in couple of different Japanese restaurants and it was great! It is broiled Salmon Cheeks, very delicious! Very flavorable. Please help me get the recipe. Thanks! Arigato Gozaimus!
