Oyakodon > gyudon. Discuss.

Japanese food only looks good to compensate for the fact that it all tastes like shit

>>113381676
No money for oyakodon, therefore have to satisfy myself with gyudon.

This.

Whatever the meat stuck in a hotdog bun is, it's disgusting. I had some at the Epcot Food and Wine Festival and I wanted to through up. Meat in a fucking bun should not have been that nauseating.

if you're looking at the thumbnail open the image up, it's pretty big you can clearly see what everything is down to what kind of beans are in it even

>>113384428
Why are you so wrong? Japanese food, in general, tastes great. You can always fine examples of food that tastes bland, or shit, but the same is true with any cultures cuisine.
Saying Japanese food all tastes like shit is patently wrong though and probably comes from someone who only tries sushi.

Funny thing is that sushi isn't even as common in Japan as kareage, donburi, udon, katsu, ramen which you find fucking everywhere.

And okonomiyaki is fucking great and anyone who hasn't tried it is missing out on one of the most delicious things known to man.

>>113381676
Katsudon > oyakodon >>> gyudon
Oyakodon is a great fetish too.

My main complaint about asian foods in general is that they're either all soups (thus irritating in hot weather) ior a pain in the ass to make at home without a bunch of time/preparation.

>>113381781

Red beans topped with green tea ice cream, surrounded by three rice balls.

>>113385341
Yeah, I hate it too.
I fucking love green tea though. Nothing beats drinking a cold bottle of green tea under the scorching sun.

>>113385341
it's very refreshing to drink cold in the summer, and it's also very comforting to drink warm

It's smoky, cleanses your mouth, and generally refreshing without being bad for you or caffeinated.

>>113385378
It makes for an easy, lazy dinner. Also, oyakodon is another go-to lazy meal. You can make it in about 10-15 minutes, and you don't need anything exotic except for some dashi.

Legit decent ramen is damn delicious. That ramen place in austin (ramen tatsuya) is amazing

>>113381781
japanese food tastes good, but there's not much of a wide range in terms of flavor. after a while, everything starts to taste the same.

>>113381781
It doesn't taste like shit, it's just bland. Japanese food is au naturale and tastes like it. About the only seasoning they use is soy sauce or miso.

Or, I should add, if it's made with takikomi gohan, or if you add furikake or somesuch - but those are VISIBLE additions, which do not produce those perfectly white onigiri you see in anime, so that's usually not the case.

I still don't understand the appeal of raw eggs and westerner's fascination with teriyaki.

Went to a Yoshinoya last year and it was pretty yummy for a chain restaurant. Best beef bowl I've ever had was at the Yongsan mall complex in korea though.

Let's make Oyakodon!
Start by heating up a few tablespoons of sake. You can also do part sake and part mirin, but since real mirin is difficult to find (most is just "mirin style") I prefer to use just sake.

Next, add some hot water (around 1/2 cup) and some dashi granules. If you happen to have real dashi, so much the better (you can make some yourself easily using kombu kelp and bonito flakes). Here I added about 1/3rd of the packet. Check the instructions on the dashi box to see the proper granule to water ratio, and adjust for 1/2 cup.

>>113407830
Next, add a little soy sauce (no more than one, two tablespoons max) and some sugar (a few teaspoons). Mix well and let the sugar dissolve, then taste. It should be salty and sweet and a little fishy, and you should be able to recognize each of the ingredients we've put in so far.

>>113407866
Now add chicken thigh cut to bite size pieces (this will also work with breast), and around 1/3 - 1/2 onion cut into wedges, depending on its size. Simmer until the chicken is nearly cooked through. If you feel that the liquid is evaporating too quickly, you may cover the pan to compensate.

>>113407936
When the chicken is almost (but not quite) cooked, add two eggs. Try not to just dump them all in. Drizzle it around so the egg is evenly divided. Simmer a few more minutes.

When the egg appears to be close to done (depending on how well cooked you like it), sprinkle green onions on top. If you happen to have Japanese parsley (mitsuba), use that instead for authenticity.

Most Japanese food tastes very plain. Almost everything tastes of either soy or miso, or a variation of them. You really aren't missing all that much.

>>113408146
>AWND I WOULD LIKA EXTRUH CHEEZE WID DAT

Is Chinese food objectively better than Japanese food?

>>113400152
So does onigiri usually come w/ plain rice? The ones I've tried from this Japanese fast food place in my uni's cafeteria tasted pretty vinegary. Like I took one bite and couldnt eat anymore that's how bad it was. And the nori was slimy as hell too.

>>113408216
Yes, it has better spice than nips food. Nips dessert is superior though.

>>113408146
I like Japanese food but I agree. If you want lots of flair in flavour chinese or thai is more exciting.
Japanese food is not for everyday.

>>113381729
asian desserts are shit compared to western ones

>>113408319
Yes, they come with plain (well, lightly salted usually) rice. And the nori isn't supposed to be even the tiniest bit slimy. Like, at all. It sounds like the one you had was way past its expiration date.

>>113408048
>Finally, take a big bowl of freshly steamed Japanese rice.

What's the best way to get steamed japanese rice? The sticky kind? Aren't they using ricecookers in japan?

>>113408319
Not plain rice but sushi rice. It got rice vinegar salt and sugar in it.
They added far too much rice vinegar. Also the nori was probably left out too long on the shelves.

>>113408444
Unfortunately, you kind of answered your own question there. The best way to get good Japanese rice is with a rice cooker. I was lucky enough to get a nice Zojirushi one (a good Japanese brand) from a relative who didn't use it, but they can be very expensive. And honestly if you don't eat truckloads of rice, they may not be worth the expense.

But that doesn't mean you should despair!
You can make great rice using your everyday stainless steel pot. Just was your rice thoroughly (you need to do this even with a rice cooker) about 3-4 times in a large bowl, replacing the water until it runs clear and all the excess gluten has been rinsed off. Then put the rice in a pot, add water until it's about one finger width above the rice, and turn on the heat (traditionally speaking there is also a drying phase and a soaking phase, but they take a long time and not really worth doing unless you're a rice fanatic). As soon as it starts boiling turn heat to low, cover, and steam for about 18 minutes (your mileage may vary on this; also some people recommend starting on high heat and then gradually lowering it. I find that this way works the best). Turn off the heat, wait a few more minutes, and serve.

>>113408579
Well that's the thing, authentic onigiri in Japan is never made with sushi rice. It's an American (or wherever you're from) bastardization.

>>113408216
In terms of hearty, yes. Chinese cuisine is absolutely god tier in many aspects. The only thing bad I can think of is their fucking table manners

>>113408402
Well they supposedly make them everyday, and I've tried them twice so I don't think it's expiration issue. They're wrapped in like a plastic baggy and if I remember correctly the nori was probably slimy because the entire thing was moist, water condensing on the insides of the bag etc. I'm thinking that they just make them like that because the only rice they carry is sushi rice and they don't give a fuck.

>>113408673
And general hygiene, but that really applies to everything Chinese.

>>113385378
Don't be a fucking faggot. Lift weights with the intention of becoming a Greek god and you will be hard pressed to eat enough carbs in a day.

>>113408658
Just checked. yes you are right. I think its done with vinegar outside of JP because possibly of shelf life reasons.
Haven't been to JP and the last time I had an onigiri was at least 10 years ago.

>>113408699
That sounds pretty awful, anon. My condolences.
But to be honest, even moistened/wet nori should never be slimy. Nori is a bit like paper in its texture, actually. If it's dry it tears, and you can even cut it with scissors (it's the best way for making nori ribbons for sushi and such). If it's wet it should be more pliable, but NOT slimy.

>>113385378
They probably have a side of grilled fish with it.

>>113408832
>deep frying them

Nigga I dont want to be fatass

>>113408868
Nips generally have very small portions of food. Hence why they can eat fried foods and not get fat.
Portion control Nigga.

>>113408868
It's a small portion.
Besides, how else are you going to make that dish without frying in oil?

>>113385378
>pure carbs

I love carbs. They taste delicious.

>>113408932
Dont put flour on them and merge them in oil and its a lot healthier.

>>113408618
What's the name of the ricecooker you're using? I eat shittons of rice.

>>113409007
Then you may as well just roast lean chicken breast.
That defeats the point of making anything different.

Creating every dish with the overall intention to be as healthy as possibly makes everything incredibly bland.

>>113409011
I actually mentioned it in the post your replied to. It's an older Zojirushi model.

>>113408795
Thanks for the info. I guess if I ever manage to find another play that sells some that isn't out of the way I can ask to see what type of rice they use.

>>113409088
I know. I'm asking for the name of the model

>>113408618
I had always been tought that you should not wash/rinse the rice too throughly, so that you still have some vitamin B1 or something. wash 1-2 times is enough

>>113409183
taught*

>>113409125
Ah right, sorry. Mine is an NS-ZAQ18. It's pretty old (though it still works great) so it's probably out of production by now. Also it's a 10-cup model, which you definitely shouldn't get if you're single (I rarely cook more than 1-2 cups).

>>113409183
Well I wouldn't know about the nutritional value of washing rice, but as far as I know for best flavor/consistency you should wash it until the water is more or less clear.

>>113403018
>>113401615

Wasn't the currency exchange rate 100 yen to one U.S dollar? If so the prices there are a lot more reasonable.

That's still twenty five dollars for gigga puddi though.

>>113409416
The gigapud costs 25,000 yen, anon. 25,000 / 100 = 250. 250$ for pudding.

>>113409183
>>113409353
I don't bother to wash my rice, haven't had any problems yet.

>>113409520
No problems beside that the cooked rice were not white right?

Jesus christ what is in the stuff that makes it's that expensive.

And I wonder if it tastes good..

>>113409669
No it was always white. Maybe 5% of the rice, only the ones that were touching the bottom, wouldn't be snow white?

In all honesty though, how many of you enjoy legitimate sushi?

>>113412459
Sushi is crap. It is only popular in the West, in Japan it is pretty much poor mans food.

Why is it that in anime elevens display genius level of getting food smeared all over their face, be it rice, cake or whatever, but when it comes to noodles, while slurping like madmen, not a single drop on their clothes or face?

Yeah, that joke seems about your level.

>>113399821
Japs usually slurps the soup straight from the bowl.

>>113413238
Maybe like 'japanese sushi folded over 1000 times made by japanese men for japanese people in japan'?
Or maybe nigirizushi?

>>113412897
>in Japan it is pretty much poor mans food.
The fuck are you on about? Real Sashimi/Sushi is like a top tier incredibly expensive delicacy mostly only eaten on special occasions for the average Japanese person.
Poor mans food is CupRa, Yoshinoya, Matsuya, local Ramen places and FamiResu.

>>113413466
>Real Sashimi/Sushi
Ah ha.
Ah hahahahaha.

>>113412459
I've been to Sushi Yasuda, 15 East, Blue Ribbon Columbus Circle, Ushiwakamaru, and a few sushi joints in Taiwan that were all top tier (for that island).

I've never had anything remotely as good as Sushi Yasuda was.

>>113414601

I went full weeb and went there before a performance at the Japan Society. I never knew there were so many types of eel.

>>113415024
I got the omakase at Nobu, and but only a couple pieces of sashimi—so incredibly expensive.

Nobu's son owns a shop out in Aspen Colorado, called Matsuhisa. I ate way beyond my budget (sea urchin will do that), but amazingly the dude next to me at the sushi bar paid for the difference.

Someone should bring back microw/a/ve.

>>113415200
That reminds me, went to Nobu Next Door a couple years back. Was okay but their arctic char w/ deep fried spinach appetizer dish was great.

>>113408929
>Nips generally have very small portions of food
Just how much do you have to be eating to say that japanese portions are small? I have a hard finishing their bowl dishes.

>>113415798
If you eat at an Australian restaurant you will likely have twice the meal.

It'll cost twice the price too.

My best dining experience was this small place on near 2nd Ave and 45th. Nobody was in the place, and it was just me and the chefs. There I had fried Monkfish, the skin of which turns into a tempura-like crispy layer. But the real diamond of the meal was the golden-eyed snub sashimi. Never had it before, and its delicate flavor is still my favorite.
