For me:

Breakfast: Coffee & possibly a bagel

Lunch: Whatever I have time for - sushi most of the time

Dinner: Curry rice, stir fried tofu, gyoza, riceballs

I saw a recipe on D-addicts for Omurice (as seen on Lunch Queen). I haven't gotten around to making it, but it looks really good.

Here's a link: http://www.d-addicts.com/forum/viewtopic.php?info_hash=3a8ad8b5f3503a3211a83e0b3bcbdc1d499e52d7

Otherwise, I'm a big fan of my local Japanese store, because a lot of the stuff they have is pretty easy to make. Lately, I've been into making croquettes (which are fried mashed potatoes with things such as curry, shrimp, vegetables etc) They sound weird, but they're really good!

Hmm, very interesting recipe posted here.. Well, I have never tried cooking japanese or korean food before but I love japanese food.. Yum-yum.. Sushi and chicken teriyaki are some of my favourites..

For my dinner dish, I like to cook fried rice ( the chinese way).. Simple and nice.. Ingredient is up to your choices.. There can be combination of minced garlic, egg, diced ham, wedged-cut brown onions and chopped vege.. Other times I choose seafood as the ingredients like prawn, diced fish ball , squid and crab meat. The main seasoning I use is dark sweet soy sauce.. You don't have to add anything else.. Another alternative is adding salt to the ingredient while you are cooking..

The steps are: Fry all the ingredient together in a pan, then mix thoroughly with the cooked rice. Lastly pour in the sauce and mix it well. About the measurement of sauce, I always do my own estimation. You can add the sauce slowly till you get the taste you want.

Note: For the egg, you need to beat it up in a bowl and may add some light soy sauce. Then, cook it as scrambled eggs separately from the ingredient and transfer to a plate. You will add the eggs when you are mixing all the ingredients with the cooked rice.

Another thing to note for the cooked rice, it is better to cook it first and let it to cool before mixing with the ingredients in the pan. This is to prevent the rice from being sticky.

good timing hehe

Does anyone know where I can find insulated steel soup bowls? I've googled many times, and haven't found the right ones. Some of the prices for the bowls that I found were a little too high (I found one for $200+). Anyone in the SF-Bay Area that frequent Asian stores seen these kind of bowls? The bowls help to keep the soups hot longer. I'm thinking of the bowls that's double layered (Korean style?), the soup that's put inside would be hot while the outside would stay normal. My friend said he saw some awhile back in the LA area. But I'm not near LA, so I can't really check that out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Smile

Best Korean family restaurant in Salt Lake City if you find yourself passing on the I 15 one day, pull over and dig up the local phone book and look for a place called Myun-Ga.

Best K-food I've had ever.
It's one of those half shabby old style (not a table looks the same, and family run)
restaurants with just the tastiest food you can find.

To bad it's to far from me now. Got hungry finding this thread
