That Old Ganon posted:What kind of charcoal do you use for your grill? kishu white binchotan from korin! Yes, it is hard to light. We actually use our pellet grill to do it (instead of a chimney cuz we don’t have one), and put the binchotan lighter pan right on top of the flame. once they’re a nice red, we throw them into the konro and use a small small sized vornado to keep it going. the vornado is a game changer to help getting to temp and easier to manage than just a hand fan. ryan at Needle in LA does this trick and we haven’t looked back.

Any recommendations on online places (US based) to order ingredients outside of just getting pantry staples from amazon? Right now I'm just limited to whatever Kroger and Albertson have and beyond that I'd have to drive to SLC (3 hours).

Sorry to double post but what exactly is the Proper Way of making Miso? Particularly like mine where I want to add stuff (Mushrooms, Onions, etc). Is this correct? 1. Make Dashi (put konbu in cold water for ~30mins, then bring to a simmer for 15 minutes with bonito flakes, turn off the heat and strain) 2. Add in my ingredients (half a sliced onion, enoki mushrooms, shitake mushrooms (not dried)) simmer for 15 minutes? 3. Turn off heat, mix in my miso after waiting a minute to cool a little. 4. Add scallions. (doing tofu-less miso for calorie watching reasons) (Could I also add seseme seed oil here or should it be during one of the previous simmer phases?) 5. Osomatsu. I know some suggestions are 12-24 hours for the konbu, but I want it now.

Some new East Asian supermarket has opened up in town that has a pretty good Japanese section and apparently they're going to sell Natto but they haven't got their fridges up and running yet so I can't get any and I'm FUMING I tried Natto about 15 years ago and didn't like it but my palate has changed so much as I've grown up so I wanna try it again and see if I like it now. I remember being told by someone to put it on toast if I don't enjoy it too much outright but idk. Anyone else got some good Natto recipes to help ease me into eating it?

I would try simmering the mushrooms less than the onion, I like six minutes for a somewhat firmer texture. You can also marinate mushrooms for a few hours in soy sauce and sesame oil.

I've always been told to remove the kombu before the water starts bubbling since it can add bitterness if you boil it. I've never experimented to see if it's true.

First, you’re making misoshiru or miso soup using miso someone else made. You can make your own miso too but it’s a lot more involved (see the fermentation thread). But yeah that’s a good general purpose recipe. For dashi, you can steep the kombu (and/or dried shiitake) anywhere from overnight in cold water to no time at all, and then simmer it for anywhere from 0-30m. You can add niboshi/iriko or katsuobushi anywhere during simmering or add it at the end as the stock cools. Any combination of these 4 ingredients and preparations is a legit dashi someone makes in some region of Japan, try em out and see which you like. I like to steep my kombu and especially dried shiitake (if I’m using it) overnight and then strain them out, heat the stock to near-boiling, kill the heat and steep a poo poo ton of katsuobushi in it for 5 minutes or so and then strain for the most delicate dashi. But everyday dashi I put the kombu in as I heat the pan of water and when it gets to a boil I toss in a less-extravagant amount of katsuobushi and simmer for 3-5” and strain and it’s almost as good. I rarely make niboshi dashi but when I do it’s usually just niboshi simmered alone for 15 min or so. Once you’ve got your dashi, technically speaking you just need to stir in your preferred variety of miso (again there are tons and they are all used somewhere in Japan and they are all different and delicious) and you’re done. But in practice yes you should put 2-4 things in there first, and cook them for however long it will take to get your preferred texture (which might be different for different things). Traditionally you want an even balance of things that sink (tofu, for example) and things that float (like wakame). You can also quickly fry some of these things in a small amount of oil and then add the dashi and optionally some dashes of shoyu or sake, I pretty frequently make an Andoh recipe for hatcho miso soup that has you fry little slivers of onion and potato as the things (and garnish with chives). After your cooked things are your preferred doneness, you stir in miso and add any things that don’t need to be cooked (sesame oil, wakame, mitsuba, scallion, etc etc). So anyway yeah there is no one true way of making miso soup because there is not just one kind of miso soup people eat. But your steps do fall into the normally accepted way of doing things.

If I wanna maybe try adding ginger and garlic to miso soup, is it like slices of ginger/whole garlic without smashing/cutting or should i chop them up more? I know for like ramen I think garlic and ginger gets added when making broth in a similar way.

Neither of those are common ingredients in miso soup and garlic is barely used in Japanese cooking at all. So go nuts, do whatever you want.

Food isn't medicine, while some foods can have a health effect on the body, it's usually in quantities or durations far exceeding your typical meal. Also, keto isn't recommended for people who are acutely ill.

I think you're reading more into the statement then intended. The point is not "this will cure me" but to increase the effect of "soup helps alleviate symptoms", so adding garlic to the soup helps enhance the soothing factor of the soup, nothing more. Also I like garlic. For keto a brief google suggests the opposite, I don't see anything anywhere to suggests it's a bad idea. Regardless I'm not doing the eat 4000kcal of bacon thing if that's what you mean? I eat typically a very healthy diet whose macros are structured around hitting the keto targets with my fat coming from like, salmon from my protein and guacamole and olive oil from my salad. Which I haven't really done since getting sick my diet is just like a bowl of miso everyday and a bowl of plain yogurt.

I know for like ramen I think garlic and ginger gets added when making broth in a similar way. It depends on how punchy/intense you want the flavor to be. If you want a blast flavor, add some smashed, minced, or microplaned right at the end. If you want something a little mellower, simmer large pieces when making the broth. Another interesting twist would be to make an aroma oil like you would for ramen. Fry aromatics like garlic, onion, scallion, ginger at a low temperature in some kind of tasty fat until golden and nutty smelling. Add a spoonful when serving.

I'm in Hiroshima right now and fell in love with Hiroshima style okonomiyaki. Going to teach myself how to make it at home. I did also pick up a new rice cooker and electric griddle. I know the griddle is probably not hot enough to make it perfectly but I'll give it my damnedest.
