Hopper posted:I just discovered they opened a huge... like gigantic Asian supermarket on the 3rd floor of one of our central shopping places in Munich. This may be nothing special where you are from, but Germany and especially Munich, though a major city, suffer from a severe lack of choice when it comes to Asian groceries. IIRC there are a lot of Japanese people in Frankfurt! I don't know if that's at all helpful to you. E: Also, I think most Vietnamese grocers will carry a selection of Japanese products. I am really not an expert about demographics in Germany, but I think a Vietnamese grocery might be easy to find. Fleta Mcgurn fucked around with this message at 15:28 on Dec 5, 2019 |

virinvictus posted:Just moved into Arctic Canada. I thought my choices were limited in Northern Ontario, but at least I had sticky rice, miso, and more than just the VH brand of soy sauce. All we have here is above said soy sauce and minute rice. And nobody even knows what miso is. *sigh* Isn't that part and parcel of the whole Arctic Canada deal? Twenty-dollar Doritos and hundred-dollar cases of water? (Please do an A/T!)

drrockso20 posted:So with that Curry I made, I accidentally left it sitting on the stove all night(it had a lid on it though), I put it in the fridge this morning though, you guys think it will still be good or should I toss it, the meat used was pork Tbh, I'd probably take a chance, seeing as it's winter. But eat it today and toss the rest.

Whisks-R-Us posted:I've enjoyed cooking Japanese food for myself (and lurked this thread) for some time, but I would like to solicit help with an interesting challenge. I have a vegetarian friend who has never had Japanese food due to a rice allergy. I would like to make her dinner. I am thinking of using coconut aminos, sherry, and apple cider vinegar as substitutes for soy sauce, mirin and rice vinegar. Fortunately, I do have some homemade barley miso as I cannot think of a good substitute for miso at all. Currently, I am thinking about making a vegetable soup with soba, but there is probably something more interesting than that and I would like to include some side dishes. Any ideas of better substitutions or dishes that would work with these constraints? Is there rice flour in soy sauce or something? Vodka is a much better substitute than sherry, too. E: if you want, like, SUPER clean recipes, perhaps veggies and meat braised simply in dashi and livened up with yuzukosho would be good?

Iirc soy sauce doesn't have enough gluten to be a problem for most people, but tamari tastes better IMHO.

Honestly, kombu dashi granules will probably serve you best as there's added MSG, in terms of flavor. I've also just cheated by adding a touch of soy sauce to kombu dashi. But if I were you, I'd just make a really mellow and flavorful veggie broth (with appropriate veggies) and accept that the flavor profile might need some tweaking.

I know I used to buy pricey, bougie vegan powdered dashi at Whole Foods back in the day, but I don't remember a brand. I'm sure it exists somewhere, though.

I think the batter is more or less a standard flour and water batter, with some potato starch and kelp flakes? But really, you just gotta make a batter, load it up with the ingredients you like, and add toppings. I personally like pumpkin or squash in mine, and lots of scallions and gari. (I don't know or care if the gari is "traditional," but I can eat it however I like! IT'S IN THE NAME, DANGIT.)

Heath posted:No, although I've made some spicy stuff using gochujang and gotten a weird prickly tingling sensation in my fingertips and felt similarly uncomfortable. The curry roux isn't that intense though That's a weird reaction. Maybe there's a preservative or something that you're reacting to? Or maybe you have a capsaicin allergy, even?

Hmm, that's an interesting problem to have. I'm usually a carb substitution whiz, but for some reason I'm having trouble thinking of something that's Really Like Rice. Orzo was the best thing I could think of, but that's already been suggested. Maybe something like spaetzle? Would a rice noodle spaetzle be good or gross, I wonder? If you like shirataki, shirataki "rice" is pretty good!

What's everyone's favorite wafu pasta? I made umeshisho pasta tonight (the umeboshi- and shiso-hater in my household is away and I have a quarter kilo of fresh shiso because I went MAD WITH POWER) but I would like to hear other variations. I once had a beautiful garlicky, buttery, nori-y spaghetti dish at a random mall in Mushashi-Koganei and it was so simple and delicious (and had no fish!) that I have never forgotten it.

So I said "Oh you got a pinku one" and she didn't get it, so then I attempted to explain the bento post and long story short I don't think she loves me anymore. It's because it was made in china or corea (Korea) or whatever.

We had a similar product with USDA-approved chocolate. Plenty of people choke on those konnyaku cups in Japan, so let's not go insulting entire nations over incorrect info.
