Minado's Perfect Sushi Rice

Wed, 27 Apr 2005 16:21:01 -0400

This is the recipe for Sushi rice that I have learned from my father, the Sushi chef at Minado sushi. It's not really a secret recipe, many restaurants prepare rice this way, but it produces really great rice. More of a technique than anything. This is a response to a request in the forum and I hope you guys like it! -- posted by BirdyBaker

Simplest Fried Rice

Fri, 26 Aug 2005 23:09:32 -0400

I have tried to make fried rice without a recipe, three or four times, with absolutely no success. So this time I thought I would do the intelligent thing and follow a recipe! Im sure glad I did, because the rice turned out absolutely wonderful and it was astonishingly easy, too. The recipe I chose was "Fried Rice With Ham and Eggs" from a marvelous book called "The Way We Cook: Recipes from the New American Kitchen." I've altered the wording slightly. This recipe makes a mild fried rice, comparable to something you might have in a Japanese restaurant. Yum! -- posted by juniperwoman

Sukiyaki Big Bowls

Tue, 17 Jan 2006 16:19:48 -0500

Nice and real easy traditional Japanese Style food! These bowls can be of the Ziplock type or other freezer bowls and can be used as a meal for new neighbors, a sick friend or just for you. I found this on landolakes.com. Update 01/07/2008 - I remade this and used peapods with less bamboo shoots, sliced red pepper strips with less water chestnuts, increased the garlic to 1 tsp, increased the green onions to 1/3-1/2 cup, and some crushed red pepper flakes, for that extra zing! Just a thought! -- posted by Manami

Avocado & Vegetable Sushi (Gluten-Free & Vegan)

Mon, 23 Jan 2006 19:22:57 -0500

I fell in love with avocado rolls from a near-by Japanese take away, but I wanted to be able to make them at home to be sure of the ingredients used so my whole family (with allergies) could enjoy them also. I was, at first, apprehensive as they looked a little complicated and many recipes I found were actually very complex. However, it only took me two rolls before I got the hang of them. They really aren't difficult at all !!! I'm not really sure if my method is 100% correct, but it works for me. This recipe makes a mix of avocado and vegetable rolls - how many of each is up to you. You'll need a bamboo mat to help with the rolling. -- posted by bearhouse5

Japanese Rice With Shrimp and Vegetables

Thu, 04 May 2006 14:34:32 -0400

This is a delicious rice recipe with such a wonderful flavour to it. I like this dish very much! : ) I couldn't find dashi stock so I used miso soup instead. And if you don't want to use fresh shrimp you can use precooked peeled shrimp. Just add them in the last minute of cooking to heat through. -- posted by Chelsea^_^

One Pot Poached Eggs & Rice

Sweet Soy Cracker Bites

Thu, 04 May 2006 20:41:16 -0400

In Japan, children would eat soy cookies or crackers, not sweet but very salty with the taste of soy sauce.

Perfect Japanese Rice.

Thu, 06 Jul 2006 16:42:31 -0400

basic onigiri (riceball) recipe. Add any filling you want I particularly like Egg scrambled with some soy sauce (dark) and toasted (brush with a little miso mixed with sake and grill) Onigiri can be very hard to handmake. Moulds are available but difficult to get in the UK without paying high prices, small jelly mould or egg cups work really well. -- posted by PinkCherryBlossom

Glo's Sausage Fried Rice

Wed, 02 Aug 2006 20:15:48 -0400

This is an easy to prepare fried rice dished passed down by my Japanese mother. You won't find anything like it in the restaurants. Every time we have a family get-together or a covered dish luncheon at work, I am always requested to bring this rice. Being half Japanese, my family would eat this rice as the main part of our meal. Most people would make this as more of a side dish. This recipe makes a lot, so feel free to cut down on the quantities. The beautiful lady in the picture is my mother who I lost to cancer in 2002. -- posted by Crafty Lady 13

Avocado Sushi Salad

An easy vegetarian sushi dish without all of the fuss. From Readers Digest Living. Works great as an appetizer or side dish and it's amazingly easy. I like to use the rice molds that they sell at Japanese markets for serving this salad. Soft lettuce works well if you wish to replace the spinach. -- posted by esmerelda smoot

High protein sushi rolls which are not too high in fat. The yield and measurements are estimates as sometimes I make this into thin sushi, sometimes futomaki, sometimes sushi layers.

My friend's mom owns a yakiniku resteraunt but she also cooks various other foods. This is her chahan recipe. She really uses chashaorou (chaashuu) but I don't know the word in English, but she said Bacon is okay too. If you like green peas, you can add 2 tbsps.

This is from the 3 Bowls cookbook by Ed Farrey and Nancy O'Hara. It makes a light rice with sweet and nutty flavours. It doesn't keep and reheat well so it is best served on the day of making - it gets a bit chewy the next day (but I like that :)) -- posted by PinkCherryBlossom

User Friendly Onigiri

My DH and roommate both love sushi, and hate the fact that I don't like nori so I won't learn to make Japanese food for them at home. After looking around here and doing some playing around in the kitchen yesterday, this is what I came up with: onigiri using an Asian flavored version of my User Friendly Meatballs (recipe #216180). My picky picky DD told me to keep this recipe, so I am posting it. :) I had ground beef on hand, but you could use any ground meat (pork sounds really yummy). -- posted by CraftScout

Roasted Rice Balls (Onigiri Yaki)

Wed, 04 Jul 2007 18:53:06 -0400

These are so yummy! I haven't tried the miso one (yet! But once I get my paws on some miso paste. . .), but the soy sauce ones are fantastic. This is fairly typical bar food in Japan from what I have read online, but it also makes for good lunchbox food or a side dish for a Japanese inspired dinner. You can also make a bunch of these and freeze them for up to a month. This recipe comes from Bento Boxes: Japanese Meals To Go by Naomi Kijima - hence the single serving size. Cooking time does not include time to cook rice. I posted photos to try and make clear the grill, flip, brush, flip, brush, flip, done routine. Hope this helps. :) -- posted by CraftScout

Her mom used to make it for us as a special treat, and also made us each a small cookbook with our favorite dishes she would make us in it.

Peanut Butter and Pickle Sushi

Wed, 12 Dec 2007 12:45:31 -0500

I love sushi for the ways in which the textures and flavours of its ingredients are uniquely highlighted. This unusual sounding roll was inspired by a favourite dish of mine, peanut butter and pickle sandwiches (like those described in recipe #104084), in which creamy, nutty peanut butter perfectly compliments the crisp texture and garlicky tang of dill pickles. It's unusual, but delicious! I eat this sushi roll with the usual condiments - tamari, wasabi, and pickled ginger. I've used peanut butter in many other sushi inventions as well, enjoying it with carrot, red peppers, green onions, etc. I haven't included cooking directions for sushi rice with this recipe, since there are several recipes for sushi rice posted on RecipeZaar already (i.e. Recipe #55243, Recipe #119373, etc.) Recently, I've been making all of my sushi using short-grain brown rice, for the additional health benefits. NOTE: My directions assume some level of sushi-making experience. -- posted by Lumberjackie

Kayaku Gohan (Rice With Vegetables)

Wed, 28 May 2008 22:59:45 -0400

From The Best Recipes in the World by Mark Bittman. "This popular one-pot dish can be made with meat or vegetables and, like most casseroles, is easily varied. There are many similar dishes throughout East Asia, but this one is made distinctively Japanese by the addition of mirin and even more so if you use dashi for the cooking stock -- a terrific touch. Arbruage -- fried tofu -- is available, precooked, at Japanese markets; it's slightly sweet. Firm, well pressed tofu can be used as a substitute." -- posted by AB_Fan

Grilled Tuna With Chipotle Ponzu and Avocado Salsa

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 18:27:10 -0400

My daughter made this last night and had a taste and was pleasantly surprised! This is a great example of how bold Asian and Latin flavors can work well together. The orange and lime juice are in place of the rice vinegar = the acidic ingredient used in a Japanese ponzu dipping sauce. The hot, smoky chipotle chiles give it that extra kick! The avocado salsa gives it that cooling feeling. Cooking Light Magazine, November 2005. You can also use the ponzu with chicken! -- posted by Manami

This recipe is out of a cookbook called eating well, healthy in a hurry. I love how simple this recipe is to make. It is great on a cold night and so healthy! I double the sauce to make it more like a soup since I love egg flower soup and this reminds me of it. I also omit the sugar, it is good without. I have only made this with white wine since i have no reason to buy mirin aside from this recipe and it turns out great. for a spicy kick, my husband likes to top this off with that hot rooster sauce. I do not know the proper name for it since it is in another language. -- posted by cali~jenn

Spicy Tuna Salad Sushi Roll

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 09:37:32 -0400

This recipe tastes very similar to the spicy tuna rolls found in Japanese restaurants, but the best part is that you use canned tuna rather than raw tuna. Don't get me wrong, I love raw tuna; I just don't feel comfortable playing with it at home. I created this recipe when I wanted sushi rolls but didn't have a lot of fresh ingredients on hand. This can also be adapted to use in an asian salad. I plan on putting up that recipe at a later time. Note: the sumeshi (the term for cooking rice in the japanese style) portion of the recipe is copied from Sushiday.com. -- posted by OwlMonkey

Japanese Egg Salad - a Twist on Eggs and Mayo

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 01:39:08 -0400

Chilled, crisp salads are one of the great summer dishes, and a refreshing eat-it-anytime meal. Almost any food can be a part of an enticing salad -- vegetables, fruits, pasta, potatoes, meats, cheese, herbs. This Japanese Egg Salad showcases fluffy white rice, shrimp, hard-boiled eggs and Romaine lettuce leaves; tossed in a tangy French dressing with capers and chives. A delicious alternative to the same-old, same-old egg salad. -- posted by Feast Your Eyes!

Chicken Fried Rice

I used the food processor to do my chopping and used leftover roast chicken along with leftover rice from Chinese take-out. This will serve 2 persons as a main dish or 4-6 as a side dish. As always, feel free to switch the meats and veggies to your taste. -- posted by Sue L

Japanese Salmon and Avocado Rice

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 10:40:25 -0400

This dish contains the goodness of sushi without the painstaking rolling and shaping. The salmon is marinated in lemon juice and soy which 'cooks' and flavors the fish. Sushi rice is available in most stores, but if you can't find it use basmati rice instead. -- posted by English_Rose
