Japanese food
Hi all!
I just realised how little i know about japanese food, i mean, aside from the obvious ones: sushi, yakitori, onigiri, ramen etc... Does anyone know a site, or help me learn some food?

Don't complain to me that people kick you when you're down. It's your own fault for lying there

GOOGLE is your friend. after you exhaust google, then you have won the internet.
Re: Japanese food
I like to look at recipe sites like http://recipe.gourmet.yahoo.co.jp/ and http://gourmet.goo.ne.jp/recipes/
Re: Japanese food
And if google isn't good enough for you, you can always download the internet and do it yourself.two_heads_talking wrote:GOOGLE is your friend. after you exhaust google, then you have won the internet.
Re: Japanese food
Just Google isn't the best if you don't know what you're looking for, in my opinion. So, here are some other types of foods you might want to look up by name:
okonomiyaki (cabbage-pancake-like-thing)
shougayaki (ginger pork)
nabe (pot-dishes of various types)
sukiyaki (a good winter dish)
gyoza and shumai (dumplings--maybe more Chinese than Japanese?)
udon, soba, somen (other types of Japanese noodles--many different varieties, like with ramen)
Justhungry.com is written by a Japanese woman in Switzerland, and has a collection of both Japanese and Continental recipes. She also has a separate site just for bento-making. I particularly like her nibuta recipe. Good for leftovers!

But how do you know which are the deliciousest ones?chikara wrote:If you only look at the first two links in the Google search I posted I believe you will find all of those dishes, except shougayaki, plus lots more
I guess . . . I feel it's nicer to contribute something that isn't just a link to a google search. Some websites have better instructions than others, are set up more usefully, etc. Even though google has a lot of power, people can still provide a lot that google can't. We have opinions and preferences which can be a lot more helpful than mathematical algorithms.

Re: Japanese food
Chicken is deliciouser than Pork? I am not sure I believe this . . .

Sushi! - sadly I have only had it with pepperoni, but I love seaweed an write rice.
Sake - it might taste horrible, but its worth it all you need is something to get the taste out of your mouth before the next drink.

I love pepperoni; I love sushi. So put them together! Why didn't I think of that?
I wonder what they would say if I asked for some pepperoni in my Dragon roll.

I feel it is nicer not to drag threads off topic
