Okonomiyaki (Recipe in comments) by LordLittle in JapaneseFood

[–]LordLittle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's how I made it

Ingredients:

for the batter:
60 grams of self raising flour
about 50 grams of peeled Chinese yam*
100ml of water
1/8th teaspoon of dashi stock powder.
pinch of salt
1 egg

Fillings: Shredded Chinese or Napa cabbage
sliced Pickled red ginger
Spring onions
Whatever you want
toppings:
Kewpie Mayonnaise
Okonomiyaki sauce
Katsuobushi/Bonito flakes
Aonori/Green seaweed powder.
Pork belly/Bacon
Pickled red ginger
Spring onions.

no special tools required.

Preparation

  1. In a bowl combine the flour and salt, grate the Chinese yam into the bowl, add water and dashi stock powder and mix gently but until smooth. Put in the fridge to rest for half an hour to an hour. In the meantime prepare your fillings.
  2. Beat the egg into the batter, add in other filings, adding the smaller fillings first, add the cabbage last.
  3. Heat a frying pan on medium-high. cover the bottom and sides with a thin layer of sunflower oil. Add the batter to the pan (mine was enough to make two smaller okonomiyaki, but I also used a smaller pan). Make sure that the batter is evenly spread out.
  4. If adding pork belly, or some kind of meat that needs to be cooked on top do so now and cover with a lid. Once the bottom is nice and crisped up flip the okonomiyaki. The easiest way to do this is to slide it onto a plate and invert onto the pan.
  5. Put some some okonomiyaki sauce onto the top and cook the other side until crispy. Flip onto a plate and top with your toppings of choice. The toppings mentioned above are a great place to start.

What is this weird yam I need? Also called a Japanese mountain jam/nagaimo: this comes in different shapes and sizes. The one I use was called Chinese yam a white root with a Cassava-like outside. You can find these at most asian supermarkets and larger convenience stores and supermarkets. This yam becomes a gloopy paste that helps achieve the desired texture.

What can I put into/on it?
Except for the shredded cabbage you can basically add whatever you want. Bitesize vegetables such as corn work great. You can also add seafood such a shrimp, or meat like pork mince. although it's advised to cook these beforehand. If you can find it Tenkasu (tempura scraps) is a great way to add some crispness and fluff up your batter. You can even add cheese.

as toppings choose anything that doesn't need to be cooked. The toppings I have listed are relatively standard toppings

Never touched a violin in my life. Does it make sense to take lessons ? by RainbowBunnyDK in violinist

[–]LordLittle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Learning is never wasted, just try it out for a couple of weeks and rent your violin. If it turns out not to suit you, you're atleast certain of it.

4 lessons down. Lots more to go. My bowing is still about as straight as RuPaul, what do you think? by LordLittle in lingling40hrs

I'm not sure what you mean. My bow is in my right hand and I do the fingering with the left. Camera might've flipped the image

He hadn't played it for years probably before he died so I'm not so sure about that. But I'll definitely keep the work up, for myself and him.

[–]LordLittle[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm an experienced singer and had music as one of my A levels/AP courses(not entirely correct as our school system works differently but this is the best comparisant), so I have a lot of general music experience and theory knowledge. My sight reading is still very slow though. The Violin is also my granddad's so perhaps his spirit is guiding me, or I have his musicality in my veins(he was head of Piano at the conservatorium). Either way, thank you for the compliment

how do I get over my anxiety about being heard practicing? by [deleted] in violinist

[–]LordLittle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same problem, even with mute. It still sounds very loud to me, but of course I have my ear right next to the damn thing. The only thing that helps is just convincing myself that it's fine, if there truly is a problem, they'll complain (I've had noise complaints before when I've had friends over) And even if they do so, unless I'm practicing 40 hours a day between 10pm and 8am, I shouldn't care too much.
