/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I love nikujaga but my parents don't like the sweetness of it.

Nabe is a dish they both like, and my grandma likes the way I make it too (GRANDMA LIKES MY COOKING I AM SO PROUD): shimeji, king oyster mushrooms, enoki, beef, tofu, onions, bok choy. If I'm making it with my friends and not my parents, then fish cake items and udon as well.

Okonomiyaki is easy and cheap as fuck. I have the sauce, katsuo, and mayonnaise in the fridge, and Otafuku's mix isn't that expensive. I make mine with beef instead of pork, both out of personal preference and because a friend doesn't eat it; cook the beef either on the griddle or in a pan beforehand, season with some garlic salt and a dash of soy.

I'm getting better at making takoyaki (pic related, one of my first tries), but a lot of mine still turn out only as partial-domes, or kind of burnt :( I can't really figure out what I'm doing wrong, either
