Domo Kun Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Is anyone else into cooking Japanese food? I've really gotten into making ramen and other such noodle soup dishes because they're quick and taste so good. Miso is a God-send. Hah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letty Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 what is this 'cooking' you speak of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supergrunch Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Well I'm interested in just about all aspects of Japanese language and culture, but I haven't investigated the food very much. I have attempted making smoked salmon sushi before, which worked to a degree, although the rolls were too big so the nori kept breaking. I would like to try other Japanese food, especially Ramen.

kopo Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 The 'ramen' we can buy in europe are far from what real japanese ramen are. Just like chinese, indian or even italian food, we get a variant that's more fast food. God bless the West eh. I know some real Japanese restorants (haven't been there though) where the cook puts on a show and stuff. Typicall Japanese food would be raw fish and all its variants, with some ramen, of course.

Supergrunch Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I'm talking about Japanese ramen. That's why I haven't tried any yet; I'm waiting until I go to Japan (which could be ages). There are a few real ramen places in the UK, such as wagamamas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shino Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I usualy eat a lot of sushi, but probably i's the fast food type kopo talked about, I go to an all you can eat japanese restaurant for less than 10€ :p , but it's still good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Well I'm interested in just about all aspects of Japanese language and culture, but I haven't investigated the food very much. That pretty much sums it up about me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shenlong Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Well my friend was meant to bring some ramen around but he's so unreliable its just ridiculous so it hasn't happened yet. Love sake though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domo Kun Posted January 8, 2006 Author Share Posted January 8, 2006 One of my friends read somewhere that Japanese cuisine is going to be the hip thing to eat in 2006. I have no idea where he read it or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Wagamama means wilful / naughty child iin Japanese if you translate it. I love Japanese food, loads of options if you are veggie too. I could eat rice all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfire Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I'm very interested in the Jap culture, but I've never tried their food. Besides, raw food is not my thing :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domo Kun Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 I made Onigiri once. I doused them in food colouring and used leaves from the cherry blossom tree in my garden. They fell apart and the leaves tasted horrible. I also doubt that I used the right kind of rice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supergrunch Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Wagamama means wilful / naughty child iin Japanese if you translate it. I love Japanese food, loads of options if you are veggie too. I could eat rice all day long. Yeah, they say that, but it actually means "selfish" (as from a Japanese person). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket_Executive Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I'd like to cook Japanese food, but my target is something a little more useful; the language itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoogleViper Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Wagamama means wilful / naughty child iin Japanese if you translate it. Sounds more like a Japanese porn star to me. I'd love to try sushi but I don't want any of that supermarket shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
system_error Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I really tried to like Sushi but it did not work out. I love fish, rice and vegetables and I die for smoked salmon but as soon as I get a mixed Sushi plate I am out. I can't help myself - besides being expensive Sushi doesn't taste very good in my opinion. I have been to 3 rather good Sushi restaurants. I definitly will check a common japanes restaurant too.

Dawn Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 My friend lived in Japan teaching in a Uni for 5 years, and she tells me that the sushi from Marks and Spencer is just like the take out sushi you get over there from all the convenience places. I love it, got to have soy sauce on it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
