Craving some Japanese Cuisine

[chilerelleno]

Awesome spread. I'll be doing the chicken and the potato dish. Though I did have to Google "Jaccard tenderizer"!

Thanks Steve, hope ya enjoy it.
Those jaccard tenderizers are great for marinating anything.
You can take a fork to the meat and get the same effect.

Now that's what I call a damn delicious looking feedbag.

Thanks for posting
Point for sure

Appreciate it Chris, thank you.

You would like the Japanese grocery in my old part of town

Now the only Asian market near me is northern Burmese Christians, so they have a lot of Thai sauces, pickles, etc.

If we're turning Japanese I think we're turning Japanese I really think so you need to know this movie.

Wow! That all looks amazing! Looking forward to today’s meal!

Thanks B1, for the compliment and Like.
I'll try not to disappoint, but today is really easy, deep fried Panko breaded pork chops and carrots/taters in Japanese curry.

Wow, that looks so good! That first picture of the chicken looked like a dream! I kept rubbing my eyes to see why it was blurry on the outside.

If I ate that, I’d be rubbing my tummy!!

 

[chilerelleno]

Oh My!!
A lot of good looking stuff, right there!!
And ever since I had the best Teriyaki Glaze in my life, 50 years ago, in Honolulu, I've been trying to match it. Still haven't gotten there yet.
Nice Work, John!!
Like.

Thank you John, I love putting it together.
The best I've ever had was in a tiny little Teriyaki Shop somewhere in the greater Seattle area.
I was driving long haul back then and saw this shack with a line out the door, that always spells "EAT HERE!"
All they did was Chicken or Beef Teriyaki, rice and 3-4 sides, it was damn near food nirvana.
Like you I've never found it's equal... LOL, probably commercially made and shipped in 5gal buckets.

Looks great again, ever try the jaccard on the pork?
Trying that with a fork doesn’t sound like fun.

The Loin Cutlets cut 1/4" or a little thinner and sliced as served, it cuts easily with a fork.
Thank you.
I only like to to use the jaccard for when I want to get marinade/brine in quickly.

I'm still full after reading and seeing round one. Great Job John.

Point for sure

In my part of town there is nothing like any kind of Asian grill. I have to do it myself, and I'm thankful for examples like this.

Thanks again Chris.

That makes two of us, I've no noteworthy Asian restaurants in my area either, all mediocre at best.
Growing up in SoCal we had excellent Asian cuisine of every variety.

A lot of Japanese cooking is relatively easy, really just a matter of ingredients and learning some basics, don't even need specialized cookware.

I'm inspired by many examples I see here, makes me happy if I can pay it forward even just a little.

Great looking food Chili! I may have to copy some of that if you don't mind. Weird thing, we have a very strong Thai restaurant presence here in Murfreesboro, and a few great Asian markets. Knock me down with a feather!

 

[chilerelleno]

Thanks 5G.
Mind? Copy? Full speed ahead with the cultural appropriation.

It can be amazing when somebody immigrates, bring their skills in their cultural cuisine and opens a killer eatery.
And I love it all, not just Asian.
