/ck/ - Food & Cooking

stop posting the same thread every day you bellend, no one gives a shit

>>16479377
why is japanese cuisine so hilariously bad?
the main staple dish of nipponland is sushi which is literally just fish on rice
their curry is just watered soup
ramen is just inferior version of authentic Chinese noodles
even instant noodles is taiwanese (Chinese) and not from japan

why could the nips not make a satisfactory cuisine?

>>16479195
Why yes, I do like plain tasteless white rice with no nutrition, with a large potion of salt-and-fungus soup
Fuck Japan. Only good thing on that plate is the fish.

>>16479537
When you live on an island for centuries and don't allow any foreigners your culture becomes very one dimensional.

I don't like their cooking, their traditional products/small scale are top notch though. I've been crying my eyes out ever since Fukushima got most artisan vinegars, soy sauces, tea etc banned.

Large corporations still export as if nothing ever happened. As usual.

>>16479618
Little bit of radiation never hurt anybody.
*sips*

Itchy dick master!

>>16479199
They should have sold live stream tickets to accommodate the circumstances, this is not fair for Japan.

>>16479195
It's good but it is more or less soy sauce and variations.

>>16479195
Very bland once you've eaten Korean or Thai food desu

>>16480219
I love korean food but let's not pretend red chili, fake cheese and fermented rot is some advanced flavour profile. Thai food however is straight garbage that you'd have been better off getting indian or chinese every fucking time.

>>16479195
Jap food is style over substance, even england has better food.

There is no such thing as good asian cuisine, all of their ingredients are shit

>>16479537
japan confirmed for gay bullshit. only fetishest retards love it

>>16480219

insane take. thai and korean food is mostly garbage ingredients smothered in pepper

>>16480683
it actually has taste, not like gay jap food. weebs kys

>>16480696
>pain
>a flavor

Okay, blog time. I made chicken teriyaki recently, it was okay but I feel like it was kind of suboptimal.

>fry deboned thighs skin down until crispy (this went fine)
>now flip, cover pan and steam with sake because nips don't have an oven
>of course that means the skin ends up soggy by the time it's cooked through
>now have to pour out pan, cook skin down again to get the moisture back out
>now reduce teriyaki sauce and pour over chicken, losing crispyness again
These are all steps from the "authentic" recipe, and desu it's sorta believable on an island with no ovens. Still, I think americanized teriyaki is better, save skins for the oven.

I liked gyudon and oyakodon though although they're kinda the same thing and one note

>>16480514
This could be the worst take I've ever seen on /ck/

>>16479575
>he thinks the eel is a fish
>gosh stacy, what an ameriburger, I cant even remain calm, I'm literally going to shart in my panties, he's so dumb XD

>>16480812
As much as I want to love Japanese food, I can't. Outside of Ramen and Okonomiyaki most of the food has the same flavor. It's not bad by no means but it isn't isn't on my bucket list when I think of foods to try out. Why is Japanese food taste the same?

>>16480812
The Japanese who created that recipe must have been a terrible cook.
I would bake it, reapplying the sauce several times.
If it's cheap chicken, I'd marinate it in the sauce before baking.

>>16480849
Marinating is the best way for any chicken

whats japanese

>>16479195
kys japanese dog

>>16480855
When marinating high quality chicken, it is easy to lose its good qualities.
So it is better to grill it while coating it.

>>16480817
cry harder samchai

>>16480683
Japanese love curry and its sloppa. Thai beats Japanese due to the fact that it has more ingredients

>>16481146
It depends on what type of Thai cuisine you’re talking about. Northern Thai is the GOAT, Issan food should stay in the trash where it belongs

>>16480219
Not OP, but I've tried Korean spicy noodles (ramyon), initially really loved it and got hooked up on it for a while. But eventually it started getting boring. Drowning everything in spice is only cool when you are new to it. After the initial addiction phase runs its course, it starts tasting like poop drowned in pepper that makes your nose run and has little joy in eating it.

In contrast I still love making Japanese-style ramen bowls, there are countless possibilities for the toppings and stock. Fuck, even my plainest ramen bowls is tastier than noodles drowned in poopy red spice water.

why does saying positive things about japanese food make this board so assmad

>>16481243

>>16481243
I notice there's this subset of Americans (and other Westerners, but it's always the worst among Americans) who get assmad when anything positive is said about anything related to Japan.

Seems to be a mixture of misguided hypernationalism, envy of Japan's beautiful culture, envy of the people who love the wholesome stuff in anime that contradict their toxic masculinity culture, and maybe still being mad about how they got their asses blasted so hard in Pearl Harbor by Japan even 70 years after the event...

Whatever it is, there's definitely an unhealthy amount of irrational hatred directed at everyone that likes anything Japanese, and the haters never manage to offer any convincing reasons for it.

>>16481243
because weebs are attention seeking faggots and japanese culture is low T

>>16480219
>it's impossible to enjoy all three for different reasons
Muh taste bud explosion!!!

>>16481324
I'm Japanese and when I post, I'm treated like weebs, why is that?

>>16481324
>attention seeking faggots
That's some stupid shit you pulled out of your ass because your brainlet doesn't even know what to say. It doesn't mean anything.

As I said in >>16481282:
>the haters never manage to offer any convincing reasons for it

>japanese culture is low T
See, another stupid reason. This thread is about food and the guy was asking why do people react like shit to Japanese *food*, and your response is that you don't like the culture and fans? It's exactly what I said. You're an envious, mentally deranged imbecile, and your IQ probably has 2 digits.

>>16481243
It's a mix of burgers who think the overpriced mediocre japanese food they've been served by their local korean/hmong run "japanese restaurant" is in anyway indicative of what japanese food is. Which is why they'll usually pontificate about the superiority of other asian cuisines but usually are obsessed with pho or the szechuan/korean red chili dish du jour. The other half is chinese, koreans and jungle asians screeching because they're not as beloved as japan internationally

>>16481347
wow what a load of outraged fucking drivel

>>16481345
because by western standards, japanese are all meek cucklings

>>16481347

>>16481347
This is peak retarded.

>>16479195

>>16481203
What are some good Northern Thai dishes?

>>16481146
>more ingredients
A good steak needs 2 ingredients (3 if you count beef fat as not part of the steak).
More ingredients doesn't mean anything.

>>16481282
>Americans (and other Westerners, but it's always the worst among Americans)
They are literally 五毛党, not Americans.

I'm pretty disappointed they only make those bowls out of that weird plastic, not ceramic or something.

>>16481897
They are traditionally lacquerware.

>>16481243
Everyone shits on everyone else on this board, not just the nips.

>>16481905
Yeah, I know, but I would prefer ceramic, I don't want lacquer leeching into my food.

>>16481918
No risk of that but if you are worried you can instead get unlacquered wooden ware in the same style (though it's not traditional for this dish).

I miss the Anon who would post SEA/Japanese restaurant food and hold up a crinkled dollar bill and say he doesn't tip because it's disrespectful.

I made somen the other day. It was so fast and easy and refreshing I wonder why no one eats cold noodles in the west.

>>16483272
I've been with my wife for 10 years now. We met in high school, and I got her pregnant. She is and always has been a lazy person and a shit cook. I wouldn't even mind eating shit food if she at least made it on time. But she rarely did.

We'd get into screaming arguments constantly about how lazy and worthless she was. I felt like an asshole for it, but goddamn she was a real piece of work. The only reason I dealt with all this was for the kids, and also because the sex is great.

But one night, I got fed up. Not only did she get drunk, neglect the kids, and made me top Ramen for dinner, but she decided to give me attitude too. She was being real fucking bitchy. So I told my grandparents to keep an eye on the kids and told my wife we were going to go out and have dinner together. I drove maybe 3 blocks to a quiet area (we live in Oregon, it's not hard to find a quiet field) and I got out of the car, went around like I was going to open her door for her and let her out, and I just beat the shit out of her while she was still seatbelted. After a few punches, I asked her if she wanted to go back to her parents. She started screaming and yelling and said yes, so I beat the shit out of her again. Then I asked her what she wanted to do. She finally got smart and said she wanted to go home. So I took her home and dared her to start trouble. I even handed her my cellphone and dialed her mom's number on the drive home. I made her talk to her mom, while daring her to fucking say something.

Before that incident, I had never laid a hand on her. But I had always threatened it. I told her "one of these days, if you don't straighten up, I'm going to lay hands on you."

All my meals have been on time, and she just recently tried to make a meatloaf. It was mediocre, but I was just thrilled that she tried.

Do with this information what you will.

looks bland af. why do the japanese food pics look the most boring af?

>>16479195
Most Japanese food places a lot of emphasis on ingredient quality and simplicity. The end result is that there isn't much room to hide if you fuck up because there isn't an abundance of overwhelming flavours to mask any mistakes like there are in Korean, Thai, and to a lesser extent Chinese food. Couple this with the problem that most 90% of "Japanese" restaurants are Korean/Chinese owned, or shitty "western fusion" bullshit and it's no wonder people have such a terrible impression of Japanese cuisine.

As an anecdote on this: in my hometown we have ~20 "Japanese" restaurants, only 1 of which is owned and managed by an actual Japanese family. We have terrible fast-food Japanese (Edo), a bunch of sushi places owned by Chinese, several Korean owned noodle/teriyaki places, and like 3 "authentic" places owned by white faggot weebs who think charging you $20 for a hilariously small bowl of pretentiously over-seasoned ramen is somehow in the spirit of the cuisine at all. Finally we have the one place that's owned by actual Japanese people and it's widely agreed across the entire city that they blow the socks off all of the competition in every way imaginable; unfortunately this gives people the impression that Japanese food just isn't good, because only 1/20 of the restaurants in town are even worth going to.

>>16482901
>marbling
Looks expensive. What's the stuff on the far right?

>>16484311
Not everyone lives in the US, cuck. You can just cook Japanese food at home, it isn't that hard to do compared to Thai or Indian dishes

>>16484375
>thai or indian
>more difficult

Yeah nah cunt that's not even vaguely accurate

>>16485067
It pretty much is. Japanese is basically the same. Pick up both a thai, chinese and japanese cookbook and you'll find it easier to make the japanese stuff at home compared to the other two. I can make 90% of Japanese dishes with 5-8 ingredients

>>16484375

it's significantly harder actually, because as the other poster said japanese cuisine tends to use few ingredients, which leaves bad cooks nowhere to hide.

it's similar to french food in that way - you can't just cover up your shitty food with chilli peppers

>>16485078
fewer ingredients =/= harder. You don't have to perfect a dish in order to make it. Making sushi isn't harder than making a 40 dish mole sauce from Mexico.

>you can't just cover up your shitty food with chilli peppers
This is irrelevant because every cuisine has simplistic dishes, just like Japan, but they more to offer than Japan along with that

>>16479199
>smooth peanut cream
shows chunks. nice job, Nihon

>>16485098
Sushi isn't just ultra fresh raw fish pike people claim/do at cheap shit shops its mildly fermented/aged. You're basically saying dry aging a steak and searing it to perfection is equal in technical skill required as making stew. It's okay not to be informed on the topic but jesus christ it's impressive to be this wrong >>16485098

>>16483960
BASED

>>16485124
I'm basically saying that you don't need to perfect a dish to make it. It's easier to make traditional japanese food than it is to make traditional thai food on average at home

>>16482783
are those leeks wrapped in chicken skin?

>>16479195
That's a lot of liquids. There's more liquid than food.

thread is probably filled with a bunch of tastelets or spice tards who have had their tastebuds ruined by years of hot sauce, japanese food is amazing, not the best cuisine, but it sits with other asian countries (besides mongolia) in quality, just for it's own reasons, meat is always handled very well, their basic stock/sauce works with everything, preperation and ingredient quality is always paramount, yes I like spicy food but japanese food just has such good balance of flavors, I love making oyakodon at home as comfort food, as well as mazemen

>>16485513
People are tastlets because they prefer one cuisine over the other?

>>16485571
"preferring one cuisine over the other" is not 90% of this thread

My grandfather, who gave his life by the way, fought on the frontlines to prevent racists such as yourself from being given the right to speak their mind and spread their beliefs, but he should have stayed at home to fight the true evil that seeps and corrupts our country.


Unlike your thoughts everyone deserves the right to free speech, so I hope you use the last parts of humanity within you, if there is any, to think for yourself for a change and understand that special snowflakes aren’t to be discriminated against, but to be nurtured, much like the 3 immigrant children that we adopted at my wife’s insistence and have enriched our lives beyond belief, have you done your part to support life? Pro tip, since I don’t have children of my own I’m not contributing to the end of the earths limited resources yet still being a father in my own right.

Part of me thinks that you are the sort of person that happily rejects the idea that a woman owns her own body and that consent is a fixed value, pro. Tip, it isn’t, and just because my wife is willing to perform sexual acts on one man, didn’t mean that she is obligated to do the same for me, I might not be as attractive as someone she finds at the gym or mall, which I might add are prime examples of patriarchy at work with dozens of lusting young men getting sweaty and physical with each other, perhaps you could try some restraint?

I hope that I gave you something to think about and revalue your life but I seriously doubt it, I’m sorry I went of 4chan, I’m sorry that I went on r/cook and I’m sorry I clicked on this thread where YOU decided to post. CNN was right about you scum.

I like it because it's simple. Don't people always cum when they talk about how italian food is almost always just 5 ingredients? Something like that. You don't need to get all reddit to make something taste good, sometimes salt is all you need.

What's special about these one-tray meals? They look like an arrangements of different snacks you have with alcohol.

Cold soba with tsuyu and a pinch of oil is one of my favorite things to eat, japanese or otherwise

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LldGGJZr3Zk

Tenzaru soba is my favorite japanese dish. Maybe favorite dish in general. It's so fucking good, I love how you can use the sauce as a dipping sauce for the tempura and how the tempuras breading will make the sauce richer and slightly thicker and fattier... then putting the cold soba in the sauce and slurping it up... I hate that it's so uncommon to find in America, makes me want to move to Japan.

Japanese food is good, but modern weebs have made it overrated. The food itself is very simple and clean. The food is truly some of the least complicated food to make. This isn't a knock. It's an island nation. For what they have to work with, they did an excellent job. It just so happens that anime being popular has made it the only foreign cuisine most manchildren will bother to try because japanese shit makes them cum their pants.

>>16488663
okay, misses obama. what are you gonna do about it?

>>16488693
Nothing. I was just stating an opinion without being asked just like everyone else here.

I honestly don't know what half the people in this thread are harping about, have any of you ever been to Japan?

Because when I was there on a company event and we had a local guide that had us eating at what I'd call hole in the wall type places morning noon and night that were obviously the staple joints of the locals and just about everything was breaded and fried, fried food, fried vegetables, fried slivers of meat or fish that were fried, things that were breaded and fried then served with rice or fried things in soup, served with bread, more rice and beer.
carbs.
carbs for days and days.
fucking rice, made into a pancake and batter fried for even more carbs in the morning.
don't think I saw a single green vegetable or fresh piece of meat or fish the entire time.
My takeaway is that average food that average Japanese folks eat is bland as hell and fried, fried and more fried. Also the cigarette smoking with every other bite they take... how they're not all obese and dead by 40 I don't understand.

I'll never forget that the in flight meal on the return to the States, I had a green salad and a steak, and i relished it.

>>16488785
I haven't been there, but I have some input.

Japan is an island so fruit and veggies are more expensive there. Got it?

Also, if you were eating in restaurants, and they were not picked by you, on the daily, it's possible you got the wrong impression because the tour guide thinks everyone loves carbs. Got it?

>>16488031
You can but Japanese food is easier to make. Just pick up a Japanese cookbook. There's no magic spells involved in making seafood with soysauce, sake and dashi

>>16488785
I've been there and I HATED eating breakfast in Japan.

>>16488785
I live in Japan and people here genuinely think that corn on pizza is delicious and some sort of hidden italian delicacy. People here are really fucking nuts about italian food but can never remotely cook anything like it. There are loads upon loads of "italian" restaurants here but when you go in it's always some weird fucking japanese ripoff where they fuck up all of the dishes by adding jap shit like raw squid and eel and shit to it and then they try to fucking play it off as "real italian food". It doesn't help that people here don't know what normal bread or cheese is. It's all fucking gross. I have not had any normal-tasting cheese in all the time I've lived here, and good bread is about as rare as a properly paid salaryman. These people are born on this island, they will live their whole lives on this island, and they will die on this island without ever tasting real bread or cheese in their life and that's just sort of sad. The worst part is that because no japanese person actually knows what real italian food is like, nobody can call restaurants out on this bullshit, everyone eats it all up and calls it "honto ni umaiiiii uwuwuwu" and everyone thinks this is what real italian food is like. It's just sad. "Oh rettsu addu fishu eggu andu seaweedu to pasta carbonara don't u kno this is how rearu itarian peeporu eat!". The worst part for me is that japan doesn't just massacre classic italian food like this, but they also do it with every other country's cuisine imaginable. French, spanish, mexican, turkish, you name it. They botch everything they come across as "wow foreign so cool" but it's never apparently fucking good enough unless they douse it in soy sauce and raw octopus to make it "authentic european" food. Don't get me wrong I love me some japanese food but fuck this country for ruining foreign food culture and fuck the people for being too retarded to not know what real food is like, even though they kind of can't help it, fuck em it's gross

This thread reeks of midwest. Sorry you guys can't enjoy fish like us coasties can :^)

>>16488847
Bread and cheese are baby's first cuisine, just make some, you student-diddling English teacher faggot.

>>16486946
Your marinade should have a salt or acid aspect to it to actually affect the meat

>>16479537
>why is Japanese cuisine so hilariously bad?
Because it was created mostly by starving peasants while any of the more complex or exotic recipes were kept hoarded and hidden away by nobles, and are now likely lost
Their culture literally lost its taste

>>16489142
I just had some smoked trout

>>16489276

>>16488847
My sister was there and judged that the Japanese like stuff that looks foreign but doesn't taste foreign. It's like it's all about what you can show others you did and not the substance of the experience. Apparently even Chinese food gets this treatment!

>>16488827
90% of Indian and Thai food is literally just soups and stew, which is the easiest shit to make. Do you know how hard it is to fuck up soup? At worst you accidentally overcook an ingredient.

>>16489735
To be fair, most people don't like food that tastes "too foreign". I had lunch with an old couple that have been to Europe multiple times that thought paella was "too exotic", and my grandma literally hated any food that wasn't plain comfort food.

If Japanese food is good, then give me Japanese recipes that are good.
If its Americanized, then its hardly even Japanese food, so I'd especially like foods that aren't commonly talked about.

>>16490924
Not op, but I think gyudon is pretty fucking tasty, and I dig the weird cucumber and seaweed salads.

>>16479199
How much cunny have you seen at the olympics?

>>16490931
I'll try gyudon and a cucumber-seaweed salad (Sunomono).
Do you recommend any things in addition to the standard Sunomono ingredients?
I see some people saying they add red pepper flakes, crab meat, boiled octopus, or anchovies.

>>16490960
The same amount that Bill Clinton saw on his 26 flights in Epstein's planes.
In other words, absolutely none.

>>16490966
I understand that is your public statement.

>>16490961
Not neccesary. I'd try it without it first. It's very simple. If you don't like salty/vinegary tastes, japanese food is going to be not so fun for you.

*Japanese food is not delicious.

Tastes like garbage, haven't tried Asahi Dry or Sapporo but Kirin was trash. Of course It might taste better if you buy it over in Japan.

You seem to be the racist, as is very common with your types. I simply don't give a shit about your fucking nations and don't want to visit them.
If you want to call me racist for disagreeing with you then you must have been shillary supporters since that's the best that they can do.
Are you still seething in your closets because Trump beat your annointed one?

Japanese ingredients like mirin, dashi powder and sake are easier to find than lemongrass and galangal too, for example.
