A bunch of my friends have been impressing me with their culinary skills making ramen and miso soup. I’ve yet to try making ramen, but I’ve made a couple attempts at miso soup. The first time, I put in too much daikon (Japanese radish) and onion, and I did not have enough dashi or miso. Like Alex said, you cannot go cheap on either the dashi or the miso paste; I really tried to stretch my dashi the first time around. The second time it was better with appropriate modifications to each of those previous mistakes, but I did not have tofu, deep fried tofu, or green onion. Most importantly, however, I am still lacking that delicious “seven-spice” powder I would dump in my miso soup, in Japan. I bought a jar of what I thought was it, (looks identical) but it tastes totally different. Damn. So the miso soup situation is getting better, but I have to make special trips for ingredients that we don’t normally around the house; almost all of them. Inconbini desu yo!<\/div>\n
My other Japanese food adventure was making Japanese curry. Of course, I did not make the sauce. I used one of those Glico Curry boxes, and added it to some fried onions, carrots, potatoes and ooh-eeh-naa (wiener)! Dump that on some rice and it was surprisingly good! I may have to either a) learn how to make the Japanese curry sauce, or b) get some more of those Glico boxes.<\/div>\n
But enough of Japanese food. Let’s talk about my lunch today: a good, old fashioned Canadian<\/em> lunch. A toasted sandwich using home-made bread containing the following: bacon, mozzarella cheese, avocado, cucumber, lettuce, onion, red pepper, honey mustard, salt, and pepper. Oh yeah, and a side of honey-garlic chicken wings. Ramen artists, eat your heart out. hahahaha! \":mrgreen:\"<\/div>\n
