Hello and welcome to the eating rice with just soy sauce MEGATHREAD! After its creation in, of all things, the Japanese manga series K-On! in 2008, over a decade later its now taking the world by storm. Such luminaries as Zoe Kravitz have recently spoken out about how this culinary marvel has changed their eating habits. All the threads about this are getting pretty out of hand so I've been asked by a few senior regulars to make this megathread to contain discussion. I'll start things out with a quick restapie Rice with just soy sauce Prep - 2 minutes Cooking - varies 2 cups white rice 4 cups water soy sauce 1) Rinse rice until water runs clear 2) Prepare rice as directed by rice cooker 3) In the rice cooker pot, combine rice with soy sauce to taste and fluff 4) Serve and enjoy!

Has anybody noticed that the soy sauce in packets tastes better than the ones in the bottle? Or is it just me? Is it a trick to get you to buy the bottle and they fill it with cheaper stuff?

Lifehack: replace the rice cooking water with soy sauce directly, then you don't have to waste precious time mixing it in later.

This is going to be a little *OUT THERE* but if you also put some worcestershire in there, it can really kick things up a notch

I have a treat for all you soyheads in this thread. Here's the recipie for my famous rice sauce. I whip up a batch of this every so often and occasionally use it instead of or in addtion to soy sauce in rice with just soy sauce. It's a bit of a cheat but I think it respects the ideal of the dish since teriyaki is based on soy sauce. First you buy a bottle of any standard teriyaki sauce. What they won't tell you down at P.F. Changs is that this stuff is basically just soy sauce with sugar and vinegar or something in it, but that's besides the point. What you do is empty it into a larger bottle (available on Amazon.com and probably Walmart) and then 1:1 dilute it with distilled white vinegar (also availablon Amazon.com). Now its time to doctor the sauce - procure and combine with your sauce: Cracked black pepper, a lot of it (1/4 cup berries) Garlic power, a lot of it (like 3 teaspoons maybe) Sesame seeds, a grip of them - Warning. Do not use sesame seeds if you are allegric to sesame seeds. Combine with the sauce. Store in a cool dark place. I put my rice sauce in a dark wine bottle with a synthetic cork for dramatic effect but it would probably be better stored in one of those bottles I talked about earlier. Should keep indefinitely so feel free to stockpile! I enjoy the process so nowadays I only make small batches.

That or find a bottle of Maggi and spike your soy for that deeper taste.

I just wish importing rice and shōyu from Japan was less expensive. Using calrose and locally brewed kikkoman just doesn’t have the same aji (flavor).

Worcestershire was made when a british guy tried to re-create fish sauce, or so I've heard. rice talk: I like doing half, or less, stock (chicken,veg, beef, w/e) and half water with the ratio. Adds a nice undertone. More than half stock is overpowering for me, so experiment for yourself, explore your desires.

Been wanting to try this recipe out but I don't have any rice on hand. Is there a decent substitute? I have corn flakes, can I just use those in a rice cooker and add soy sauce?

Do you have a potato ricer? I'm not sure what one is but it sounds like you could use it to turn a potato into rice.

Sir, for $8.75 this will gently caress your whole world up https://www.thejapanesepantry.com/products/doubled-brewed-soy-sauce We used this in a Michelin sushi spot I worked at. I eat this over sushi rice with an avocado diced up 3-4 times a week. Also they have some salt roasted sesame seeds on that website that'll make you feel like you've never had sesame seeds before edit: I really can't express how awesome that soy is. You'll literally be like Hillary with her hot sauce bottle in her purse and carry it around with you. I use it to season curry at home too. Or if you have an asian mart that sells sushi grade tuna, just slice the poo poo up and dip it in there. You really don't need anything else. tokyo reject fucked around with this message at 01:24 on Oct 3, 2019 |

I'm not sure I can go back to any other soy sauce. My only reference for soy sauce is the stuff they give you at cheap Chinese carry out restaurants that tastes like poo poo and I'm pretty sure is just flat out not actually soy sauce, and Kikkoman which I think tastes good but way too salty for me imo to use as a condiment. The stuff you linked tastes incredible and the salt level is perfectly balanced for my tastes and turns each piece of rice into a jewel flavor bomb.

add curry paste to your soy sauce and throw it in your rice water. get like 20 spoonfuls and plop it all in a pan. throw several eggs on it and cook til the eggs are kinda cooked. boom, curry fried rice. then add a lot of cheese to it because

I was making spaghetti aglio e olio and thought "what about this but with rice." It's good! Is there some sort of international food authority I can go to to lay claim to the concept of frying rice in garlicky oil?
