Mussels With Dynamite Sauce

Posted by ChamoritaMomma  

Excellent recipe. I make it slightly different though. Japanese mayo is a little more expensive than regular mayo so this is my version: 24 mussels, 1 cup mayo, 1-2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar, 1/2 tablespoon chili paste and 1/2 teaspoon... — Romi Jul 27, 2009

Minado's Perfect Sushi Rice

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by BirdyBaker  

I always use this recipe to make sushi rice. It has the perfect combination of vinegar, sugar, mirin and salt. Here's a tip: make the seasoning mixture ahead of time and store it for every time you make sushi rice. Put the rice vinegar, sugar,... — Romi Jun 8, 2009

Onigiri (Japanese Rice Balls)

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Moishe Lettvin (1)  

This is a basic recipe, but there are 2 extra things you can do: in the chinese/korean markets, you can buy the onigiri molds. They are plastic molds that make it easier to make the onigiri. I use them and it saves a lot of time. Also, they come... — Romi Jun 8, 2009

Thai Mango with Sticky Rice (Mamuang Kao Nieo)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Kim Ong  

Great recipe. Here's a tip if you want to store it overnight. Put the rice in a sealed container, but DO NOT refrigerate. Rice can stay at room temperature in a sealed container for 1-2 days before mold forms. If you refrigerate it, it will lose... — Romi Jun 8, 2009

Matcha Cocoa

Posted by Pikake21  

Excellent!! I never thought to mix matcha with cocoa, but the 2 bitter flavors with the sweetness of the sugar go very well together. If you like dark chocolate, you will love this drink. — Romi Jun 8, 2009

Pan-Fried Tofu with Spicy Peanut Sauce

Posted by WaterMelon  

Good recipe. You have to eat it pretty quick or it will get soggy. I like it better with the peanut satay sauce you get in the small cans in the vietnamese markets. — Romi Jun 8, 2009

Garnished Rice With Green Tea (Ocha-Zuke)

Posted by Roosie  

Didn't really like it. It doesn't have much flavor. Maybe it needs some type of seasoning other than the green tea, like salt or bonito. — Romi Jun 8, 2009

Potatoes Tapas in Garlic Mayonnaise (Potatoes Aioli)

Posted by kenk  

Tastes good, but nothing much to rave about. Pretty easy recipe. Also, I have tried this with both parsley and cilantro, and I think the cilantro gives it a better taste. — Romi Jun 8, 2009

Rice Vermicelli Salad With Grilled Pork and Spring Rolls

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by Karen From Colorado  

I've had this dish at the Vietnamese restaurant and it is very good. BUT, there are different sauces you can put in this salad to make it taste better. Mix in Hoisin sauce and Sriracha hot chili sauce to taste, for a sweet-spicy flavor.... — Romi Mar 12, 2006

Sesame Cold Noodles

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Miss Erin  

I hate to give this recipe such a low rating since I see everyone else liked it, but I don't see what all the hype is about. The dish came out bland, really bland. I ended up throwing it away. Maybe it's because everyone else used peanut butter... — Romi Sep 21, 2004

Prawn Sambal

Posted by Kim Ong  

This recipe is fast, easy to make and tastes great. I omitted the oil (not necessary with coconut milk) and shallots. Also, I added a chopped tomato and some green onions. Finally I adjusted the sugar and salt levels to my taste. My family loved... — Romi Aug 31, 2004

Ww Thai Red Chicken Curry

Posted by Gillian O'Regan  

This recipe is one of the best Thai recipes I've tried. I omitted the potatoes since I didn't have any, and I used lemon for the bananas. Also, I didn't have fresh coriander so I used a little bit of powder. But it still came out great. It tastes... — Romi Aug 26, 2004

Chinese Sweet Red Bean Soup

(5 people found this helpful) Posted by Nolita_Food  

This soup is great but the recipe doesn't really tell you how to cook the tapioca or what kind of tapioca to use (like flour or pearls). I used tapioca pearls but by the time the beans were done the pearls weren't fully cooked. I searched the... — Romi Aug 26, 2004

Sweet Green (Mung) Bean Soup

(6 people found this helpful) Posted by WaterMelon  

This is the kind of recipe that you can play around with to get the taste to your liking. The recipe says to simmer mung beans for a total of 30 mins. I found that I had to boil them at a higher temperature much longer to get them soft. Also, I... — Romi May 25, 2004
