o yeah.. i didn't realise that! since when did i get promoted to grp admin?

tis grp seemed rather quiet lately yeah?

eh.. where is the banner supposed to be? i mean i hear u guys talking abt request 4 banner? & sigs? so normal sig rite? it's confusin!

wow so many members already! but i don't really know how 2 design siggy...

helllo Xayu! welcome to the group! i love temaki too! yum!

welcome nolove!

hiya Holt! you're back!

what's daikon pardon me!

i've just bought this stock for udon soup from the super mart! i was so excited! went home to try it.. it wasn't what i was expecting.. so disappointing.

i'll try shoyu with water next i guess.

btw.. seems like there's only me & you talking in here? hee..

soy sauce base? like how? do you mean the usual shoyu which we use for sushi? & mix that with water?

i've tried udon with miso paste just the other day.. somehow.. the taste came out kinda sour.. i wonder why! and i've got to add a lot of the paste before it tasted edible.. before.. it was kinda bland..

anyone knows what's the soup stock for udon? i want to get the flavour of the soup right... it taste the same be it for wakame udon or tsukimi udon.. so i believed there must be a certain thing that go into making the soup of udon..

thanks!

Quote by MistressPookyChanJapanese curry is a bit hard to make because they have special curry blocks that you boil. I can look into it a bit though...
Bento making is the best thing ever! I did it over the summer when we didnt have school lunch. It was a ton of fun to make. Of course, rice is a major part of it. People also often use meatballs, tonkatsu, karage (fried chicken), veggies (green beans, carrots, potatoes), spaghetti, and sushi. Sometimes noodles substitute the rice. Use whatever you like, just have many small portions.

ya.. i say the curry blocks being sold @ the super marts...
do you have pics of your bento? so far.. i've only managed doing onigiri.. because... i've got to wake up so early in the morning to make them i become lazy.. & my bento box is really small.. can only contain to onigiri... & i have no idea what to match.. because u've got to cook them in small portions.. but i sooooo desperately wanna make one delicious nice bento!!!

hee hee! i love jap curry too! i'm trying to learn to make them! so inspired after watching school rumble. it seems the ingredients are potato, beef, onion, and carrot with the curry mixture...!

i'm gonna try experimenting with it sooN!

btw, did i just mention that i've bought the onigiri mould? so happy becoz i've been looking for it for ages! now my onigiri is fat & full!

btw again.. anyone got any ideas what do the japs usu pack in their bento? other then gohan?

how about jap curry?

ah gomen for confusing!!!

revontulet is right! sake means the salmon sashimi sushi...

btw Holt san... love your siggy! looks good!!!
