There's a massive Asian supermarket with tons of weird ingredients nearby. What's something exotic I could cook for dinner? I have plenty of experience with cooking but no clue about Asian food.

See if you can find this stuff. Fermented red bean curd. Very interesting effect tenderizing meat and flavour and imparts a deep red colour (it's gross by itself though like shrimp paste).

crush a couple cubes with juice
add a couple tsp 5 spice powder
little hoisin sauce
little dark soy sauce
little sesame oil
little light soy sauce
2 tsp lao gan ma (or doubanjiang), optional
microplaned ginger and garlic
salt

marinade a pork loin (in the bag so it's all submerged) for atleast 24 hours. Up to 3 days.
grill or roast, basting with a mix of honey and dark soy
rest
slice
You can use any cut of pork (steaks, shoulder cut into a few pieces etc) but loin is best imo, and because it's lean i do it to 135 so it's a little pink in the middle. If you do a fattier cut do it well done.

and get some chinese leafy greens, whichever look freshest, to saute or steam alongside and make some jasmine rice.

Grab some miso, preferably saikyo, some mirin, some sake, and some black cod. Boil the miso in the sake, then rub the black cod down with miso marinade and soak for a week. If you don't have saikyo miso, use white miso and add extra mirin. Take it out, wipe off the miso, then bake the fish.

Congratulations, you've made Japan's greatest contribution to food.

Not op, what do you do with the mirin? And soak it in what?

>> No.12558285

>>12558258
not him but mirin is used in japanese food to make everything taste sweet so i assume he meant to say to add some with the sake.

i'd also rec for japanese food that you bring a clove of garlic and a chilli into the room while you're cooking, and then discard them after.

1. Take miso, dissolve it in sake.
2. Boil off alcohol in solution.
3. Cool.
4. Add mirin to solution, add extra if you can't find sweet miso
5. Rub marinade into fish, soak for 4-7 days
6. Remove fish from marinade, wiping off excess miso
7. Bake fish

You've made miso cod.

Buy a rice cooker, buy whatever shit you can find in that market, and enjoy some some hot pot.
