Japanese Kitchen Essentials

Published by

I am not an expert in Japanese or Asian culinary traditions or recipes. However, there are a few pantry staples and utensils that will make preparing and shopping for a special Asian dish easier. Here are a few things you may already have or want to add to your pantry. Some things can be found at your local Asian market or grocery store. However, some things you may only be able to buy online. Product Shopping List Sake Tofu Awase Miso Paste Soy Sauce Curry Powder Mirin Furikake Rice Seasoning Nori Hot Chili Oil Ginger Powder Fueru Wakame Japanese Sticky Rice Rice Vinegar Panko Bread Crumbs In addition to sauces, I use sake to make miso salmon marinade.

You can also coat your onigiri with miso paste and fry in a pan. Furikake rice seasoning is a great topping for rice …

Ingredients Pork Fillet (sliced) 2 eggs 1 cup Flour 2 cups Japanese Panko Crumbs Vegetable Oil Directions Cut the pork fillet it even-sized slices. Set out three bowls, one for flour, one for egg, and one for …

Lazy Girl’s Ramen Using Leftover Seasoning Packets

Published by

There is actually a ramen museum called the Shin-Yokohama Rāmen Museum, which unfortunately, I did not get to visit while I was in Japan. You may only think of ramen as a quick cheap meal consisting of water, dried noodles, and a sodium rich seasoning packet. However, authentic ramen is complicated to make and there are a lot of different types of ramen bases. Shio Ramen is a salt-based broth. Miso Ramen is a miso-based broth. Tonkotsu Ramen is a pork bone-based broth and Shoyu Ramen is a soy sauce-based broth. Each broth also calls for certain toppings. I wanted a homemade ramen recipe and every one that I found was really complicated. Also, I am kind of lazy. Then I remembered, I have a big bag of instant ramen seasoning packets in the cabinet. The reason I have a lot of ramen seasoning packets is because when my husband makes instant ramen, he makes two packages, strains the noodles, adds butter, and sprinkles one of the two seasoning packets on top. Thinking someone on …
