I have searched for years for some good (and preferably recommended) recepies for some Japanese dishes.
Maybe, maaaaaybe I can have some luck now.
There are especially two recepies that I am looking for.. (from the beginning one, but since a 2 week trip to Japan some years ago, it's now two).
The first one is Yaki niku.. I found one recepie like 3 years ago that I tried, but it wasn't right at all... it didn't taste the way I think it should.
The second one is "Go moku ramen" (Five Ingredient Noodles).
When I ate this in Japan, I developed a taste for it (I ate almost one bowl of it each day).
The ingredients were Pork, mushrooms (black fungus I think, or maby Shitake, don't remember.) some vegetables, and eggs.
Now I don't remember which vegetables that was used, but what i absolutely fail at, is the pork and the eggs.
No matter which pork meat I try, I can't get it right. And for the eggs, if it doesn't get like "scrambled eggs", it doesn't even harden, just floating on top of the noodles.
I saw when the cook in Japan added the egg, he didn't boild it on beforehand, he just cracked it over the pot, and it hardened and was delicious.
Now, if anybody here knows the secret behind go moku ramen, and/or have a good recepie of Yaki niku, I would be forever thankfull. Really! =)
(And allthough I may ask for two specific recepies, I just love the Japanese kitchen, so if you have any Japanese recepies to share, please do! )
