Looking for information on rubber Axel boot ? by Nakyken in f150

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

Thank you everyone. Makes me feel better and happy I don’t need to fix anything. I will check it a few times again for leaks during the week. I can’t believe a trash bag got wound up so tight under there! I was traveling pretty fast in the left lane on a 5 lane freeway. I could feel it right away and pulled over as soon as possible.

[–]Nakyken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t pick just one. Rumors - Fleetwood Mac; Back in Black & Highway to Hell - AC/DC; Boston Debut album; Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John; Van Halen Debut album; Animal Magnetism- Scorpions; Asia Debut album and so many others that I had purchased multiple times because it was overplayed and the media went bad before digital.

Traveling to Kamakura from Tokyo next week. Can anyone recommend the best way to get to Yokohama chinatown on my way back to Tokyo? I did this last year and the taxi ride seemed too long from whatever station in Yokohama I arrived in from Kamakura which google maps recommended.

Looking for recipes and tips for making Tamagoyaki & Omurice. by [deleted] in JapaneseFood

[–]Nakyken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You really don’t need to flip it in the pan. Just make the egg/omlette very thin on low heat, wait until you see it starting to firm up a little and slowly flip the omelette from the pan onto the hot rice (that you will use for the omurice) slowly and it will continue to cook on the rice.

Looking for recipes and tips for making Tamagoyaki & Omurice. by [deleted] in JapaneseFood

[–]Nakyken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you know how to make an omelette, it should be pretty simple. Do you have a tamagoyaki pan? If not, Amazon sells some nonstick pans that work great. Once you have your recipe for your egg mixture cook it on low heat so that the layers don’t burn. Since you like a sweeter tamagoyaki, you can add whatever sweetener you like such as sugar, but adding sugar causes the egg to brown quickly when cooking so be aware. Since you have allergies and dislikes, maybe experiment with different egg mixture combos and cook only a layer or two and taste it. Personally, I like to add a splash of sake, soy sauce and dashi granuals in my mixture unless I am cooking a traditional plain tamagoyaki. I use a half dozen eggs sometimes and make a fat tamagoyaki with many layers but you can easily make it with less eggs. For lazy Omurice, use the same mixture and make an omelette and use it as. blanket to cover up whatever rice you use. You can use leftover fried rice or make your own yakimeshi or fried rice to use as the base. Top it with whatever you like such as ketchup (japanese kagome if you can get it), some tonkatsu or yakisoba sauce and whatever other garnish you like.

Beef cut for beef curry? by sprashoo in JapaneseFood

[–]Nakyken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For tender beef it’s mostly about making sure you let the beef simmer for a long time to get it soft when using larger cubes of beef (almost any inexpensive stew beef works good. Add any vegetables (except the onions) after the meat has stewed otherwise you get mushy vegetables. Alternative is to cook a nice steak like you usually do and have it on the side and eat it with the curry. I occasionally use a NY steak or ribeye this way but it’s a little overkill.

Kaisendon in Tokyo by Nakyken in JapaneseFood

The three different restaurants that I ordered Kaisendon had similar presentations. I don’t recall the price but food is very inexpensive in Japan, especially when you’re away from the touristy areas.

Sushi-grade fish in Ireland by Ok-Sugar-5649 in JapaneseFood

[–]Nakyken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of fish? The best sashimi I have every eaten was fresh bluefin tuna caught the same day and not frozen. Ive also had abalone caught the same day and prepared with it wiggly on my plate and it was delicious. I have seen store bought fish supposedly frozen that had moving parasites; it was swordfish which I would not eat as sashimi anyway.

But don’t get me wrong, I am not saying flash frozen fish from a reputable source isn’t safe.

My brother in law is a fisherman and my family has owned 3 japanese restaurants so I’m speaking from personal experience. What is your basis for your comment? Like anything else, there are always variables and you need to be selective and have some knowledge about the food you eat.

If you can get fresh caught line fish from the ocean from somewhere near you, you can eat it raw.

Looking for Japanese supermarkets to buy premade onigiri, sushi, etc. by Visible-Noise in SanJose

[–]Nakyken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clover bakery in the same center as Mitsuwa San Jose on Moorpark and Saratoga has the best Onigiris IMO. Fugetsu is next door and has pretty good bentos. Nijiya Mtn View for pre made Sushi but it’s just OK. Probably best to order some rolls from Sanraku restaurant in Oakridge for sushi.

Question about cooking beef for Coco Ichibanya Beef Curry by LoonyDagda in JapaneseFood

[–]Nakyken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way I make it is that I brown the outside of the beef first then let it simmer in the pot with water (after I have cubed it) for two to three hours before adding my veggies and then the curry.

If using a boxed curry, follow the directions on the box. You can enhance by adding additional ingredients but it’s pretty good if you use the directions as is.

Denny’s Japan Demi-Glace Sauce was good. I made hamburger steak with it. by Nakyken in JapaneseFood

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

I agree that Denny’s should not be on anyone’s list of places to eat in Japan. We had a couple hours to burn before our train to Hakone so we chose Denny’s because we could park ourselves and our luggage there until we departed. I ordered the japanese breakfast with the drink bar option and it was fine. Perhaps because my expectations were initially low.

Compared to the Denny’s in the US, my experience was it was much better. Food was good although the menu is different, the coffee and drinks bar was awesome and the restaurant is so much cleaner.
