I bought Japanese Soul Cooking, and one of the recommendations given in the book to get the yolk right is to constantly swirl the the eggs with a chopstick so the yolk never gets a chance to settle. They also call them 6 minute eggs in the book, due to cooking in boiling water for exactly 6 minutes - so I'm curious how you have gotten them to set properly with less than 2 minutes cook time.

We made tonkatsu this weekend for katsudon, and leftovers means a tasty tonkatsu bento for today! Tonkatsu was made with recipe from the Japanese Soul Cooking book which I highly recommend.

Im a big fan of Japanese Soul Cooking. It breaks down a lot of common food into the 'master recipes' like that permeate them, then expands on those with some really great, simple dishes.

By Ramen, do you mean the broth, or noodles? There are some simple recipes out there.

Open up the look inside, the base Ramen recipe is included in the preview. It's fairly simple to make

I have a book that has a recipe for Japanese hamburger and yes it does have you cooking the onion and garlic until sweet. This recipe also says to soak panko in milk and add that to the meat mixture along with an egg and soy sauce. I haven't made this particular recipe from the book, but everything else I've made has been really good. The book is Japanese Soul Cooking.

I'm a bit of a cookbook junkie, so I have a bunch to recommend. I'm interpreting this as "good cookbooks from cuisines in Asia" so there are some that are native and others that are from specific restaurants in the US, but I would consider these legit both in terms of the food and the recipes/techniques. Here are a few of my favorites:

I like Japanese cooking regardless, so the answer is yes I guess? It's always been just the idea though, I've never followed an anime's recipe specifically.


I will say, while I can't speak for how truly accurate it might be (not being Japanese), I love this cookbook. Recommended for anyone who is interested in the food, especially the sort of food you'll probably get if you ever ask someone "what should I eat when I'm in Japan?"

Unfortunately, despite being a bit of a foodie and a decent amateur cook, the best recipes I've made have been the most basic ones. I can make a pretty mean karaage and katsudon. My oyakodon always turns out strange, I don't think I cook the chicken quite right. And as much as I love stir fries, I don't have a gas stove so they're always just an approximation.

Looks really good! Now do yourself a favor and get the book I will link. It is modern and goes through most of Japan’s favorite modern dishes, BUT! It maintains are very high focus on traditional main recipes and techniques. It’s not as technical as Tsuji’s A Simple Art, but it’s traditional where it counts.

Legit.

For anyone who's looking for a comprehensive and authentic Japanese cookbook, I picked up a copy of Tadashi Ono's "Japanese Soul Cooking" last year, and I use it at least once a week for meals. The first chapter is Ramen and has the basic recipe for ramen soup and chashu, followed by the marinade for ajitama and and the ramen meat, then detailed recipes for tares for shoyu, miso, siho, tan tan men, nagasaki champon, hiyashi chukka, and shrimp wonton men, as well as the torigara stock base for recipes that don't use the ramen soup base. It also includes rayu recipes for those who like their noodles oily. I'm extremely lucky to live near both a Japanese market and a Super H Mart.

The book has 13 chapters that each cover a type of food along with variations and history on the styles, including everyone's favorites, udon, gyoza, tempura, and donburi. If you love cooking and want to get into Japanese, I really can't recommend it enough.
