Basics: Japanese soy sauce - all you need to know (and then some)
From I was really just very hungry, 4 month ago Similar articles
I’ve written so many articles here on Just Hungry over the eight years of its existence that I’ve forgotten half of them. But one thing I have not really done so far is delve into the subject of one of the most important ingredients in Japanese cooking, shoyu (???or soy sauce. I have written about soy sauce briefly in years past, but I feel now is the time to go deeper. So, let’s dive in. How is soy sauce made' Like miso, soy sauce is a fermented and aged product. The...

I Love Falafel Sandwiches
From Londonelicious: A food blog, Yesterday, Similar articles
There. I’ve said it. I could happily eat falafel all day, every day. I don’t know why. I just like it. Texture' Hummus' Hot sauce' Yes. I was lucky today. I had an errand to run and they told me to come back in 30 minutes. So I went in search of tacos to kill some time. I thought for sure I’d find tacos somewhere. But instead I found Chickpea, just west of Damen on Chicago Ave. So I paid $4 (!!!) and had the best falafel I’ve had since Hoxton Beach on Whitecross Street...

les Enfants Rouges
From Frenchless in France, 6 days ago, Similar articles
There is an old covered market in the Marais called les Enfants Rouges-an old orphanage had children who wore red, thus the name. Not only do they sell vegetables, it is ringed with little restaurants so you can eat there. Over one of the entrances. The interior of the market. A view of one of the places to eat. Tagine meals seemed to be the most popular along with a Japanese place. I didn’t get this but thought it looked so colorful. This was in a nearby street. It’s...
Sashimi, raw eggs and more in The Japan Times, plus raw proteins elsewhere
From I was really just very hungry, 2 weeks ago, Similar articles
My Japan Times Food article this month is about all the raw proteins Japanese people like to eat. You probably know that Japanese people like raw fish (in the form of sashimi, and as a topping for sushi), and raw eggs (on rice or noodles) - but did you know that we also eat raw horsemeat, beef liver, and even chicken' Read more about it here. The accompanying recipe is a how-to for making a great plate of sashimi. A couple of photos that didn’t make it into the article: Here is a...
Boston went by in a blink of an eye
From Lioness in Japan, 3 weeks ago, Similar articles
I’m not really sure what I did in Boston when we breezed in on the Amtrak from New York the Monday before last. I had a couple of Japanese lessons on Skype, changed hotels, ordered room service twice, and shopped at Copley Place. It was also too cold to walk around so I literally walked from my hotel through the arcades that connected Prudential and Copley Place which had Sephora and Neiman Marcus. When people refer to my trip as a holiday, it really doesn’t feel like one and I...

Sketch diary: Cancer, the ladyparts version
From I was really just very hungry, 4 weeks ago, Similar articles
Today I started a 3-week course of brachytherapy. Unlike the 6-week course of external beam radiation therapy that ended on Friday, which definitely made me feel pretty horrible, brachytherapy is not supposed to cause any adverse side effects. We shall see. I know that many of you want me to get back the regular programming of recipes, food fun and Japanese things, but I thought I’d take this opportunity to describe the treatments I’ve been getting, and how they’ve...
Smushi for breakfast
From The Dutched Pinay, 1 month ago, Similar articles
A smushi is actually a smørrebrød. Smørrebrøds are Danish open-style sandwiches that are very popular for brunch in Copenhagen. The difference with a smushi is they are Japanese inspired (read: sushi), are smaller than the hearty smorrebrod and are quite artistic in food design.This smushi was my breakfast yesterday in Torvehallerne KBH (this is a must place to visit and will post more about this gastronomic haven soon).It's Sunday and the skies are blue and the sun is shining...
A Menu
From Adventures in the Czech Republic, 1 month ago, Similar articles
Traditionally Czech restaurant food has been heavy on meats, and it still is, although there is now more choice for vegetarians. Czech restaurants often offer a selection of grilled meats cooked over a logfire on a griddle (as here), these are eaten with a choice of side vegetables. Others offer casserole-based dishes such as goulash or meat smes (a mixture of meats in a spicy saunce). Then there is the offering of various roasted meat in sauce such as the Czech classic sv�ková (when...
