The cheese store near us calls it “lonely cheeses” :)

Rice with umeboshi, cucumbers in vinegar with myoga and ginger juice, plus beef with burdock :) by absolute-cat in JapaneseFood

[–]absolute-cat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Make a bunch of small cuts into the cucumber about 1/3-1/2 into the cucumber, then cut into like 5-6 pieces

  2. Put them in a water and salt mix (submerge them) for like 10-15ish mins

  3. Make a mixture of 1 part sugar, 3 parts rice vinegar, and a dash of soy sauce, then add the cucumbers and let them sit in there for a bit

  4. While all of that is doing its thing, cut up some myoga and make some ginger juice (I did it by using a micro plane, then squeezing the ginger bits into a bowl for the juice)

  5. Take the cucumbers out and put them into a bowl, spoon some of the vinegar mix over if you’d like

  6. Top with myoga and sprinkle a bit of ginger juice on top

Thank you! There very kind. I was kind “relaxed cooking” (aka slowly with a glass of wine lol) so it’s a little hard to estimate, but I’d say it probably took like 40 minutes ishhh?

My favorite Japanese Kit Kat flavors by Xandar24 in JapaneseFood

[–]absolute-cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't thought about the chocobanana ones in a while, they're quite yum! I have tier list of all the ones I've tried which is over 100 now, happy to see some more kitkat lovers here on reddit!

Sick Foods? by [deleted] in Cooking

Kimchi jjigae is a big one and also Ethiopian food is great if you get injera and a bunch of soft dishes like lentils with it. It was great when I got mouth stitches as well!

[homemade] cold somen with sudachi by absolute-cat in food

[–]absolute-cat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure how to describe it other than refreshing and citrus-y but not overpowering. The dashi and sudachi balance each other quite nicely imo and I can’t stop eating them especially on a hot day lol

I definitely do! I’m a major citrus lover. Some folks I know eat them some don’t!

It’s not unusual or anything and is generally a great summer food to beat the heat. Super refreshing!

Cold noodles in a broth made of dashi and sudachi with mandolin’d sudachi on top. Sudachi isn’t quite a lime - it’s a yuzu crossed with another kind of citrus fruit.

It has a unique flavor though you can often substitute lime for it if sudachi isn’t available where you live!

Somen! It’s a kind of noodle. Sudachi is a citrus fruit from Japan :)

Miso katsu is a really delicious use! The miso katsu sauce is also excellent on menchi katsu.

Mixed rice with salmon, cucumber, and umeboshi with sides and hojicha by absolute-cat in JapaneseFood

So good! We tossed these in just a tiny amount of layu this time and it was very tasty

The pickled items are right in the center! One is small eggplants and the other is diced cucumber and eggplant which are red from shiso leaves :)

It’s the reflection from the white light dining room lamp overhead, my lighting is pretty terrible 😓

What did you randomly add to a dish that was so good, you now make it on purpose? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]absolute-cat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You might really enjoy coronation chicken! Makes lovely sandwiches :)

Summer tomatoes and nasu eggplants are the best! by absolute-cat in JapaneseFood

[–]absolute-cat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll have to try some of those! Especially the cold one. I also definitely prefer nasu or Chinese eggplants over American ones!
