February 25, 201510 yr Author On Dango, since Oishii brought it up. It's made of rice. Hah, how many of you thought it was made of something sweet?
February 25, 201510 yr Author do you guys know how to make mocha? melon or strawberry to be exact Coffee? Wednesday's Dish: Yakisoba The famous fried noodles everyone knows and loves and might think they're eating when they're not. Seriously, when a dish gets too well known, it's easy to lose track of its roots. The concept originated on China, but the dish got so popular in Japan that it merged in the country's culture and became what we know today. Noodles with vegetables, chicken and cow meat and shrimp. Fry all that together with Tonkotsu sauce for example and you have Yakisoba. Fry the noodles separately and make the sauce with water, negi, sesame oil, shoyu, salt and dashi, pouring it over the previously fried noodles and you have Ankake Yakisoba. If you notice that the noodles aren't fried, you aren't eating Yakisoba. This is the most common mistake I find out there: people don't fry the Yakisoba (fried noodles). Irony much?

February 26, 201510 yr I went through a Takoyaki phase...followed by a kewpie mayonnaise phase lol Good times I don't usually order yakisoba when I order noodles, but when I do its usually Tonkotsu ramen ~ gotta luv the stuff :9 <3
February 26, 201510 yr Author I don't usually order yakisoba when I order noodles, but when I do its usually Tonkotsu ramen ~ gotta luv the stuff :9 <3 What the what? Yakisoba is one thing. Tonkotsu Ramen is another.
March 1, 201510 yr Lotus Root~~~~ Lotus root was one of my favorite vegetables to eat in Japan. It has a potato-like taste but has a satisfying crunchy texture (it won't get soft like potatoes will). My host mother would often pan-fry them in balsamic vinegar of all things (not very Japanese but it was very delicious). It's really good when fried in tempura too.
March 1, 201510 yr I can give you the recipe of what's in the picture. You can also just fry them in a pan with some oil and salt for seasoning. 200g extremely thin sliced pork (shabu shabu style)450g lotus root1 tbsp oil3 1/2 tbsp soy sauce1 tbsp mirin1 tbsp sugar Peel lotus root, cut into 3cm slices and soak in water. Heat 1/2 tbsp oil in a frying pan. Add pork and saute while stirring continuously. Remove from pan. Add another 1/2 tbsp of oil to the pan and add lotus root and cook. When lotus root starts to look transparent (they will usually start turning pink when they're done), return pork to the pan. Add soy sauce, mirin, and sugar and let simmer until some has evaporated. http://www.kyounoryouri.jp/recipe/2250_%E8%B1%9A%E8%82%89%E3%81%A8%E3%82%8C%E3%82%93%E3%81%93%E3%82%93%E3%81%AE%E3%81%84%E3%81%9F%E3%82%81%E7%85%AE.html
