I'm hijacking this thread anon. If anybody knows where to get a pdf of Japan The Cookbook published by Phaidon press, I will suck your dick. I don't want to pay 40 dollars for a book

>>12224695
can probably find it on usenet

>>12224695
op here damn, i gotta get this. I'll probably just buy it

>>12224711
It looks fucking amazing, but Phaidon Press is a notoriously stingy publication company with pretty much no digital copies. It costs too much for a copy, but at this point I'm tempted

>>12224725
it's 33 bucks.

if i can get it in the next week or so i'll make a thread about it and i can take pictures of specific recipes for you.

>>12224729
Nah you don't have to do that, I'm just being stingy. If you make any of the recipes though, post a thread about it.

>>12224732
coincidentally do you have an opinion on what i should do with a whole side of unagi

it's been in the freezer for like 8 months now...

>>12224740
I don't really eat unagi often. It's usually grilled with a soy based sauce, but besides that I usually don't prepare it myself. I'm sure you could bake it though, but you'll have to look up a sauce recipe. I don't have one off the top of my head.

>>12224755
shit is so fucking good, best tasting fish. i think the traditional unagi sauce is a big part of that too though

Sesame seeds, ginger, tamari, chili oil , wakame, roe

Go bash a monkey eel or octopus on a rock and put a caramelized glaze of all your dreams and hope on it

>>12224695
I can probably find your book anon. But tomorrow because im going to bed soon.

3-4 pcs. fresh shiitake mushrooms
100g shimeji mushrooms
100g enoki mushrooms
3 tbsp. soy sauce
3 tbsp. sake
2 tbsp. mirin
500ml water
1 tsp. granulated dashi stock
3 cups rice
Chopped spring onions for garnish

Remove inedible parts of the mushrooms. Slice the shiitake into thin, bite sized pieces. Cut the enoki in half. Stir fry the mushrooms. Clean rice. Mix water and granulated dashi stock then pour into rice. Add soy sauce, sake, and miri in rice and stir to mix. Add stir fried mushrooms and cook the rice. Mix rice after it cooks then garnish with chopped spring onions. You can add/replace other mushrooms or vegetables.

This one, just because it's hilarious that a rice cooker company has a decent recipe archive. I usually just do carrot and shitake mushrooms plus the liquid seasonings. The other shit is unnecessary. At some Japanese markets, you can get a pouch of mushrooms and seasonings to add to your rice cooker. It's amazing but a waste of money. Don't forget your salmon, veg filled miso soup and pickled veg to make it a complete japanese meal.

I also like to tonjiru. If you do carrot, country style pork ribs, daikon,tofu, lotus root, and cabbage that's probably enough shit for your soup. Don't be afraid to omit konnyaku or burdock. Those add nothing and are mostly just gross (konnyaku) or too much work (storing a big ass stick in your fridge) https://www.justonecookbook.com/tonjiru/

awww yiss, i already love using enoki and shimeji

>>12226113
hmmm maybe i'll get some of those rice cooker packets just to give me ideas

unfortunately we don't eat pork so a ton of japanese traditional stuff is out :\

>it's another gaijin thinks their non-asian metabolism will allow them to live on rice and be "healthy" thread
there's a reason why whiteoid countries are the fattest in the world

>>12226203
wait do you really think this is a thing

>>12226213
Sorry Becky, the truth hurts sometimes
But please keep stuffing your face, sweetie

>I enjoy Japanese food a lot.
I recommend dicks. I think you would really really like dicks.

yum

I'm a college student and my unique source of food are rice cooker and a electric keetle.

What type of protein can i make with it besides eating sardine in cans eveeryda?

>>12228053
seitan

>>12226230
Well cumming from an expert like yourself, it must be a good suggestion ;)

>>12228053
This makes me wonder if you could make tempeh with just a rice cooker. I think this requires an experiment.

>>12228053
you can add meat, fish, poultry, or veggies to your rice cooker and then run it. the other ingredients will cook at the same time as the rice. Just make sure you don't add too much and that the pieces are fairly thin so they will cook in time.

Anything that i should avoid? potatoes with skin makes everything looks like shit

>>12224689
Braised kabotcha is very good and healthy. And it’s stupid easy

Cut up squash with skin on.
Put in single layer in a wide pot or sauce pan.
Cover with broth. Traditionally you’d use dashi broth but chicken stock works just fine.
Add salt, soy sauce, mirin, and sake.
Braise on low heat until tender. You know it’s done when cracks start forming.

It’s the best squash imo

you can make tempeh/seitan in a rice cooker. you gotta be able to. its just a "bread" or "cake"
