Three Japanese Dishes to Try - Cold Ramen, Okonomiyaki and Takoyaki

sukiyaki, teriyaki, tempura and sushi are just some of the many foods eaten in Japan. In this article, I propose three Japanese dishes for you to try. I love these dishes, but I've never heard of them before you visit to Japan.

1 Cold Ramen

cold ramen is served in restaurants from May to September. Ramen is cooked and then chilled in cold vodu.Ramen then poured into a bowl, without soup. Sometimes the shoulder is served over ice cubes or a few ice cubes in njoj.Soja-based sauce or sesame seed sauce is commonly used for cold ramen and a dash of hot Japanese mustard on the side of the mixing bowl in the ramen.Ramen then covered with cold toppings. Pickles, eggs and ham or pork are the most common. They served the reduction of long strips, but you can also find the other toppings on a cold ramen.

2 Okonomiyaki

Okonomiyaki is a Japanese giant pancake, but this unique pancakes are not to be confused with eating pancakes for breakfast in the states. In Japanese, Økonomi means that what you like and yaki means grilled. Okonomiyaki is two-fold the dough and ingredients added to njega.Tijesto includes eggs, flour, and shredded kupus.Sastojci added to the dough varies and may be one or more of the following: pork, octopus, squid, shrimp, clams, scallops, oysters , vegetables, natto, kimchi, mochi and cheese

.

While Okonomiyaki is made and eaten at home, eating in restaurants is far more common. Some restaurants serve standard Okonomiyaki. That is, the table brings the server board with Okonomiyaki on it, but most prefer to eat my Okonomiyaki Japanese restaurant specializing in, the restaurants where you can cook yourself. The server will give you the dough and ingredients. You can mix the dough and add the ingredients, cooking on a table on a hot grill in the middle of the table. You can cook, play and eat Okonomiyaki.

3 Takoyaki

uses the same word takoyaki yaki as you can find in Okonomiyaki and many other Japanese dishes. If you are looking yaki in Japanese to English dictionary, you'll find it defined as a roast (for pork), broil (fish), barbecue (for chicken), bake (bread), and (for meat, fish, and chicken), as well as many other definitions. As Okonomiyaki, takoyaki also used the dough. Octopus and a few minor ingredients are mixed in tijesto.Tijesto then poured into a mold to cook the dough into small balls, while evenly heating. You think like a miniature octopus takoyaki muffins, although a little heavy for the muffins. Takoyaki, Okonomiyaki, unlike the cold ramen, not a meal but a snack. You will often find that it is sold at festivals. Poorly cooked takoyaki is heavy, soggy, and sitting in my stomach like lead. Properly cooked, hot noodle tastes like octopus and bread dough covered with a thick soy sauce as a sauce.

such as Japanese food continues to spread throughout the world, you're likely to find these three delicious food. I recommend that you try each of them. If you can not find any of the three where you live, you might want to think about coming to Japan for a food trip.
