Japanese cuisine

[spookyruthy]

Recently picked up a japanese recipe book. I bought it originally because it was advertised as a diet book, when actually it serves fantastically as a recipe book. It's called "Japanese women don't get old or fat".

I've found it fantastic. I loooooove the rice balls and everything they have it there. And it's explained really well. I'd recommend it to everyone :)

Just to let everyone know ^^

"Japanese women don't get old or fat".

✕old or fat.

〇Childish face and Anorexia.

Could you type out the recipe for rice balls, or would that be stretching copyright laws?

so do american women..

[spookyruthy]

I shouldn't think typing them here is copyright. Maybe we should ask the admin about it.

i did always want to know how to make rice balls, and actually if you just change a few words into something your own its not copyright.....sorta. don't take my advice though I don't want to be cause of someones arrest..yet anyway.

if you cite it, you will be fine (title of book and author).

What's the big deal with rice balls? Usually you just take the left over rice and clump it together with whatever you have.

Unless there's something I'm missing.

I've alway's wanted to try a rice ball, (no paticular reason for it)
post the recipe!

おにぎりって、雪合戦の雪玉作ったことがある奴なら誰でも作れるよな。
具を入れるのは、雪玉に犬の糞や小石を入れるのと同じ要領だし。

I think you will take this English version.

I don't like about.com for some reason. There is another good place japanesefood101 (http://www.japanesefood101.com/index.php/recipes/onigiririce-balls/).

For Japanese cuisine I reccomend Salad Udon, Tonkatsu (with the sauce, of course), soba, and sushi.

I went to a Yo!Sushi bar today, after having seaweed, sweet omelette, yakitori, maki, californian rolls and 2 cups of green tea, I had this REALLY nice sweet called Doriyaki.
Does anyone know a reliable recipe for these? Are they Westernised or authentic Japanese?

[Michiyo_Yoshiku]

Califoria rolls aren't but at this point Japanese flavors have melded so much that Traditonal and Authtenic Japanese is a very thin line.

Blame Iron Chef and The dutch.

[Matsu'o Tsurayaba]

I hear that the Japanese foods are mainly fish and rice.Seriously,but its in two formats.Cooked and raw fish,rice tends to be sticky.Not the "dry" American rice.

Thank you very much, VSh.

You're welcome. I haven't tried this recipe yet. Could you please share your impressions?

[umeboshi_neko]

A very simple recipe, easy to follow and goes well as a follow-up to a light meal.
Or if you fancy it you could have it as a snack, but it looses it sophistication.
I recommend serving dorayaki with raspberry sauce (shove a handful of raspberries in a food processor, drizzle all over Dorayaki)
If you can't find mirin or sake, use a dry sherry instead.
