I love all sorts of noodles but if I have to choose one of my favorite noodles, it would probably be Japanese soba, or buckwheat noodles. There are many reasons why I love soba: the slippery and smooth texture and the subtle taste of the buckwheat flour. Served cold as zaru soba (cold soba) or hot with a broth, soba…
As a Japanese food lover, I am very lucky that I live in southern California. Many famed Japanese restaurants and chains hailed from Japan can be found in the Greater Los Angeles area. One of my favorite Japanese restaurants is Furaibo (風来坊), which is originated from the city of Nagoya in Japan. Furaibo is famous for its delicious and utterly addictive Nagoya-style tebasaki,…
When I was a poor college student, one of my favorite places to eat is Yoshinoya, the Japanese fast-food chain specializing in rice bowls, or donburi. If you have tried Yoshinoya, you will know that gyudon, or simmered beef with onion served on top of a bowl of warm steamed rice is their signature dish. As a starving student, gyudon…
As I mentioned in the Sukiyaki Donburi post, other than bento, rice bowls are very popular in Japan. Rice bowls are called donburi in Japanese. Donburi is basically a one-meal dish where the rice and the side dish—consisting of either meat, fish, eggs, and/or vegetables—are served together in one big rice bowl as a complete meal. With the right recipe…
Other than bentos, rice bowls are very popular in Japan. Japanese fast food chains such as Yoshinoya and many curry house restaurants offer simple and delicious rice bowls such as beef bowl, curry rice bowls, chicken and egg rice bowls, etc. Known as donburi in Japanese, these rice bowls are very popular especially for the working professionals. As I mentioned…
Tempura—the crispy, deep-fried seafood/vegetable is a popular Japanese recipe that everyone loves. If you think about Japanese food, especially the ones commonly served in the US, tempura is probably one of the top three items that springs to the mind. I love a good serving of tempura, dipped in the light yet flavorful tempura dipping sauce. I can’t think of…
One of my favorite bento is chicken karaage, or Japanese fried chicken bento. In the United States, chicken kaarage is also referred to as sesame fried chicken in many Japanese restaurants. Other than chicken teriyaki, chicken karaage is probably one of the most popular combinations when it comes to Japanese bento. If you have had Japanese food or lunch box,…
Shrimp Tempura and Salmon Teriyaki Bento . In my previous life as a business development professional, I traveled extensively to the Asia Pacific region and made frequent trips to Japan. As a food lover with a penchant for Japanese cuisine, I was always thrilled to visit Japan. As I was there for business trips, I would always work at the…
My family and I live in a pretty new home — a corner unit townhouse in the master-planned, suburban city of Irvine. It was a brand new home when we moved in at 2005. The house smelled like a new born baby, the fresh paint was spotless, the carpet was soft and plushy, and the kitchen was equipped with new…
Lunar New Yearis lurking around the corner and 10 days away. (Lunar New Year or the year of Dragon falls on January 23 this year.) Our family will be celebrating Chinese Lunar New Year and I’m sure many of my readers will be observing the festivities. Chinese Lunar New Year is all about non-stop eating. Throw in fire crackers, lion…
