Oh dude seriously Lisa.

Why did you have to bring up Coco's curry.

I miss that place sooooooo much.

Seriously one of the best places to eat ever.

I used to go like 3 times a week.

So good.

[S13SilviaGirl]

Because Jack....I knew you missed it, and Kevin wanted you to come over so I could make you some curry and you guys could play GTA4 all night long :keke:

[azndoc]

sounds like plan to me.

But I don't play video games so I'd probably suck.

The last time I spoke to him he was trying to get me over there to do some hard labor work.

Bastard.

But for coco style curry I would make the trip.

[ayuaddict]

just grab some UFOs.

[Sileighty_85]

Do you know if there is a certain ingredient that makes Yakisoba taste like Yakisoba?

The yaki sauce.

I used to make yakisoba in my barracks room.

That was fun.

The yaki sauce.

I used to make yakisoba in my barracks room.

Can i make Yaki Sauce, or do I have to purchase it?

EDIT:

NM I found a recipe.

Yaki sauce

* 2 cups soy sauce
* 1 cup mirin
* 1/4 cup worcestershire sauce (use vegetarian Worcestershire for vegetarian version)
* 1/4 cup rice vinegar
* 3 tablespoons sugar

[azndoc]

Or you could just buy it.

Work smart, not hard.

Duh.....

or is this anything like teriyaki sauce, which you can buy anywhere

I'm the king of smarter not harder.

However, when it comes to cooking that's not always the best route to go. Plus I have almost all those ingredients. So technically it would be smarter to just make it from scratch. ie dump ingredients into a bowl to combine.

[zaquanh]

i hate u guys for bringing up yaki soba and cocos' ughhhhhhhh i miss that place , okinawa 3 AM drifting , cant get back on base till 5 am because were underage , where do u go coco's ugh i miss that place , texas blows for good food , damn american cuisine lol

Yaki-soba is awesome. I haven't found anyplace in socal that does it really well though. so many places skimp out on the meat and throw on so much cabbage.

Coco-ichiban curry, this i have not heard of. is this any different from regular japanese curry?

Chicken cutlet, I like if done the german style (wienershnitzel). Chicken katsu, I could never get used to. Pork katsu, definetly!!! My fav is the katsu-don with egg, with that worsestershire gravy and mustard, or katsu covered with japanese curry.

There are so many of those fun eats in japanese food. My favorite is that braised pork belly dish with mustard and spinach. It's not as common as yakisoba, but somewhat popular at many of the modest eateries/late night dining spots in japan. Here's a recipe I found that most closely resembles it. Has the star anise spice too! :D

I'm kinda tired of grilled squid

Usually if I go eat izakaya I get the grilled squid, but usually no one wants to eat any with me, so I end up eating the whole thing

I usually get the miso style

Coco curry is awesome fast food curry. You get to choose how spicy it comes as well as the toppings. Last time I was there they had like a katsu trio of different cuts of pork. Awesome and SUPER cheap considering how much food you get. Makes me miss Japan. My wife makes a great katsu curry but sometimes sitting a bench and sweating over a spicy plate of coco curry is awesome.

[ronmcdon]

I just googled Coco-ichiban and see what you mean. I get the impression its similar to the smallish curry chains we have here in socal, 'Hurry Curry' & 'Curry House' Yes, very fun food no doubt. Will have to try coco-ichiban next time I'm in Japan!

Here's another dish I like, oden! kinda of an aquired taste though;

that's chasu (roast pork) ramen. tonkatsu is the fried pork. you got a great deal there, as most ramen places seem to rip you off with 2-3 pieces of pork and charge upwards of $5 for it. what you have there looks more appropriate! :D

Actually it is referred to as tonkotsu ramen (my favorite broth) which means it is a pork broth instead a miso or shoyu based broth. It does have a ton of chasu and it was around 900 yen if I recall correctly the last time I was in Japan.

they're two different things

tonkatsu and tonkotsu

ah, that's interesting! will have to do some research and hopefully find a place that does it here in los angeles. 900 yen is what, $8-10 or so? Not bad for the price.

ok, I may I have found a place that does it here in los angeles. According to the wiki def, the broth is based on pork bones. not sure if that's entirely accurate, but here goes;

Tonkotsu ("pork bone") ramen has usually a cloudy white colored broth. It is similar to the Chinese baitang (白湯) and is a thick broth made by boiling pork bones, fat, and collagen over high heat for hours on end, suffusing the broth with a hearty pork flavor and a creamy consistency that rivals milk or melted butter or gravy (depending on the shop). Most shops, but not all, blend this pork broth with a small amount of chicken and vegetable stock and/or soy sauce. Currently the latest trend in tonkotsu toppings is māyu (マー油), a blackish, aromatic oil made from charred crushed garlic. The noodles are thin and straight. It is a specialty of Kyūshū and is often served with beni shoga (pickled ginger).

I've actually been going to this place in down-town Los Angeles called 'Daikokuya' for ramen the last few yrs. I haven't been too diligent with my search of ramen, but this is my fav place in socal to date. Description isn't very detailed, but it does mention their broth is based on pork bones; Is it 'Tonkotso'? Only thing that sucks, is that they skimp on the chasu/roast pork slices.

Speaking of Curry, I documented my Japanese curry making hotness. Heres a step by step with me in teh kitchen :)

3 chicken breasts diced
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v435/kwkouki/makingtehcurry/IMG_4803.jpg

2 big potatoes diced
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v435/kwkouki/makingtehcurry/IMG_4804.jpg

2 portabella mushroom caps sliced
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v435/kwkouki/makingtehcurry/IMG_4807.jpg

medium sweet onion (try not to use non sweet onions I think it overpowers the dish)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v435/kwkouki/makingtehcurry/IMG_4809.jpg

carrots
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v435/kwkouki/makingtehcurry/IMG_4811.jpg

Heat up a big deep pot and throw in the chicken and taters cook the chicken until its white on the outside
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v435/kwkouki/makingtehcurry/IMG_4812.jpg

when the chicken is white add the onions and pour enough water *about 4 cups* to cover the contents,
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v435/kwkouki/makingtehcurry/IMG_4814.jpg

prepare your curry, cut it into cubes it will dissolve a bit faster
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v435/kwkouki/makingtehcurry/IMG_4815.jpg

stir in the curry and bring the water to a simmer. The curry will thicken as it cooks. If its too thick add more water. stir frequently so the curry doesnt burn, do this for about 15 minutes
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v435/kwkouki/makingtehcurry/IMG_4816.jpg

Get the rice started *I use 3 cups jasmine rice*
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v435/kwkouki/makingtehcurry/IMG_4817.jpg

water chestnuts are optional.....I lurv them
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v435/kwkouki/makingtehcurry/IMG_4818.jpg

Drop in your mushrooms, carrots, and water chestnuts. Cook for another 5 minutes and keep stirring
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v435/kwkouki/makingtehcurry/IMG_4820.jpg

after 5 minutes everything should be good and cooked. This should be your final result

grab a shallow bowl. Arrange how you like. Traditional would be like this

Grab a utensil of your choice and fouk it up. Curry rocks the house, best thing is you can put in anything you like. This time I used a bit of honey, tasted pretty good. VEry spicy and sweet, but then again most japanese curry is.

The hardest part about curry is the water/curry ratio. If you are unsure its always best to start thick and water it down. If you have too much water you will ruin the curry >_<

Posi rep to you KwKouki for the Idea

Next I will be making the Yakisoba, hopefully by Friday.

[DreEzed]

Has anyone tried Monja Yaki. Thats the bomb. Theres a couple places in Socal. It's similar to okonomiyaki. You can put mochi, cheese, octopus , etc.http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b11/EmersonLee/monja02.jpg

[KwKouki]

<3 *nohomo* breading the chicken was the hardest part, panko is really hard to pack tight

[mrmephistopheles]

Lisa made this plate up for our neighbors. We went light on the curry because we weren't sure they'd dig it. They ended up loving it.

This is mine. I recently found a spice pack, so the next bowl I eat will be spicy! WOOT. (yes, that is a CoCo ichibanya spoon in there)

KwKouki - panko isn't supposed to be packed tight. Manko on the other hand....
