Cold zaru soba with dipping sauce and tofu is good. Very simple.

Salmon onigiri as well.

Tempura sounds good too but is a bit of a hassle.

Why don't you just go to the cooking board?
Like seriously?

>>16385724
I for one appreciate some food on /jp/.

I've thought about getting a rice cooker to make rice. Otherwise I just live on nutrition bars and water.

>>16385724
They don't have threads about cooking.

>>16386123
I don't since anytime a thread like this pops out it turns into a general.

>>16386251
This is some twisted logic. Let's not have any threads that aren't general threads, otherwise they could turn into generals!

I tried to make the chaliapin steak from Shougeki no Soma last night.

It was very tasty but my local grocer was sold out of green onions (boo.) and when I added the red wine, it gave a much darker look to the onions and the meal than intended...

>>16386248
It doesn't matter what ''they'' have, you can go make it there so don't post it here.

I got excited about Japanese cooking after visiting Japan for the first time. I occassionally make yakisoba/yakiudon/yakisoba pan, okonomiyaki, chashu, and of course miso soup and rice. I've also made tempura and karaage but the clean-up is a bit of a hassle.

Next step-up would be ramen, but a proper broth is a bit of a pain to make (requires 2 lbs of bones), along with the required pork belly slices and soy-flavoured eggs and whatever other stuff you want to use.

>>16387406
Ramen is one of those foods that's not really worth making at home because of the effort it takes to get it just right. I just go to the local asian restaurant.

>>16387504
There's only one ramen place in this country and it's ~250km away so that is not an option for me.

Only sushi is prevalent. All other Japanese food is nowhere to be found.

>>16387508
That sucks.

Japs take so much pride in their rice cookers for a reason. They really are great investments and can significantly improve your quality of life for very little investment. You can also cook vegetables and other stuff well in the decent ones. I really love mine.

Sushi is incredibly easy. You just need the ingredients.
Seaweed paper: nori
Rice vinegar
Sushi rice (japanese rice)
fish
I recommend you cook the fish yourself and not use it raw.

>I recommend you cook the fish yourself and not use it raw.
So close, but then you went and fucked it up.

If you're going to cook the fish, that's fine, but then it isn't sushi, it's just cooked fish with rice. There are plenty of Japanese meals that involve cooking fish, just make one of those.

If you're a good ol' country boy, whatchu can do is youcn' git yurself the good ol' fly rod, wrassle up some river trout, and turn that into top tier nigiri, the kind those crusty old japs weep when they taste. Form the rice before hand and slice that beautiful rainbow colored bastard up and eat im' right there by the riverside.

Fookin amazing. Then you can use the head and the gooey inside bits to catch yourself wanna them big hornpout what sits at the bottom of pools and the like, and blacken that bad boy up in your granpappy's perfectly seasoned cast iron skillet. Boom, lunch and dinner and you only had to pay for the rice and some of the spices for the catfish.

>>16386646
This is actually a great genre of recipe. Cheap meat + onions or other things to break it down via a long marination. Stew with a crisp but full rice is an easy favorite for most people. You get the flavor and the carbs.

Broiling a layer of cheese to the top of the rice before adding the steak and what not is also top tier.

Rice is my main consumption but now I'm thinking about using something than just plain water to cook rice.

I've tasted rice cooked with coconut and beef broth. I wonder what else is good for cooking rice.

How do I make Yakisoba?

It doesn't use any kind of special noodle, right?

>>16404104
yakisoba literally means "fried soba"

the noodle you need is therefore soba

Well I thought Yakisoba could be a normal noodle with special seasoning or something. Seems like Soba noodle would be hard to find here.
Sorry if I sound stupid.

>>16404279
honestly you can probably make it with any starchy noodle if you want, they have yakiudon and even yakiramen in some places

it just won't be yakisoba

What japanese food I could make without using japanese-exclusive ingridient?

I assume it's Okonomiyaki since it's basically omelete with stuff mixed in?

>>16405294
>I assume it's Okonomiyaki since it's basically omelete with stuff mixed in?

More like a pancake, and there are a shitton of ingredients you can't really get in the states you need to get that authentic osaka flavor. But, if you want to recreate the spirit of Okonomiyaki, then yeah, you can, because you essentially put whatever the fuck you want in it. It's like chili, if you want to make yourself a good ol' midwestern chili there are some staples you need to observe, but if you want to make "chili" then the only real definition is that it contains some type of meat and some type of bean, beyond that you can go nuts.


Probably the easiest really Japanese dish you can make with common ingredients is egg rice

>bowl of white rice
>crack an egg into it
>stir
>soy sauce to taste

Boom, Japanese food.

>>16404104
Noodles used for yakisoba are 90% of the time a fried noodle as you'd use for ramen, not soba. You will literally buy packages of noodles called yakisoba noodles and they're a medium-thickness fried wheat flour noodle. >>16404225 ironically makes himself look uninformed for incorrectly but understandably assuming it's generally not soba.

>>16406331
For assuming it is* soba

>>16405294
>>16405973
Recreating the sauce might be an issue, imo it accounts for 50% of the taste of okonomiyaki.

Also there's ochazuke, green tea poured over steamed topped with scallion, sesame, seaweed. I used to live off this for a while as a student, basically it's non-hassle rice with broth.

If your area has a japanese store, you can add pickled plum and furikake.

How do you make natto less smelly and taste better?

>>16408311
Do you already eat it with rice? That's pretty important. People put in mustards or green onions as well. Otherwise just give up.

>>16387568
What brand did you get? I figure this is a good thread to ask. I guess I'm willing to pool autismbux for a few months and get a good one if you think it's worth it.

>>16402623
I'll add seasoning salt or shit like that to the water, makes flavorful rice. Depending on how much your making, I'll throw a ramen pack in with the rice, noddles and everything.

you can use them for frying bacon perfectly, bread, making beans, steaming, there are forums dedicated to how handy they are.

also if you get pork cheap, make thick ass porkchops, and reheat them as you make fresh rice, and poach an egg or two as well.

I managed to find a Japanese curry mix at a local place. This one specifically. Always been curious to try one out, since I haven't found any recipes from scratch for Japanese style curry. Apparently they always uses these kind of mixes.

Surprised by how much I enjoyed it, since I've never been all that much into curry. Might have something to do with the heavy use of sugar. I've never thought to add any sweetener when I've tried making curry from scratch, so it always ends up really bitter and monotone (in taste, not aroma obviously). Also, it says it's medium hot, but it didn't really feel hot at all. Which is fine, because I don't care too much about hot food anyway. But I might try the hot version next time, I suspect it'll be well within my tolerated hotness.

Anyway, definitely try this mix if you wanna know why them nips seem to love curry so much.

>>16398908
I love the whole idea of using simple cooking techniques that make up for cheap ingredients, since I'm frugal to a fault. I always get the cheapest meat I can find. Like pork cutlets. It's dirt cheap, especially frozen. And it's also dry and tasteless, boring as fuck. But just put it in a marinade 30 minutes before preparing, or fry it with chopped onions, and it's so much better.

I should find some kind of cookbook for donburi, I feel there's a lot to be learned about cheap cooking from that tradition.

You could try cooking it with water and a bit of sake or mirin, or rice vinegar.

My favorite is replace water with a crisp, light beer. Adding some green onion to the rice cooker too will help the flavor. You get refreshing rice that's good even when it's cold.

Definitely easy to find and even better if you add some extra heat since the "hot" isn't very hot at all. Chili oil does the trick.

Some can be difficult to place (especially if you live in the middle of nowhere), but once you have them, an upside is that they find common use in a lot kf Japanese cooking. So that one successful shopping trip can get you set up for quite a while.

Also, if you can find good soy sauce, mirin, and some sake, you already have the basis for a bunch of things. Add in dashi and miso paste, and you're solid.
