Aluminum Steamer Rack (fits 12 inch wok) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this item to replace my electric steamer that formerly got a lot of use. After getting this item I haven't had a use for my steamer since. It works well. It is simple and easy to clean. There is an added bonus to this little guy. If you flip it over and put it on your counter it works well to thaw meat on. The metal pulls the cold out of the meat quickly and the little holes allow airflow around the frozen meat. I have been thawing 1lb tubes of ground beef in about an hour. Great item. Amazon and the Wok Shop are both great too.

Wakame - Dried Seaweed Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As you may have read, seaweed is a good source of nutrients, and has benefits for your skin and hair. Wakame is a kind of kelp (Undaria pinnatifida) and is most commonly found in miso soup and Japanese salads.
If you use wakame a lot, this bag will fit your bill. I've been using this brand for years because it's big and one bag usually lasts me a year or more. Text and texture is comparable to wakame brands I've had in Japan.
There is more than enough dried seaweed here for 50+ bowls of miso soup. Just snip off a few bits of seaweed directly into the hot soup with a pair of scissors and let it rehydrate for a few minutes, then enjoy.
Wakame is also good as a salad. Rehydrate in water for 4-5 minutes, then drain and cut into desired lengths. Add some julienned cucumber, daikon, carrots, and sesame seeds and you have a simple Japanese seaweed salad. Top with a Japanese-style dressing or any of salad dressing of your choice. You can also add some imitation crab leg pieces and mayo, or use the wakame as a bedding for other foods.
Wakame should be eaten shortly after rehydrating, otherwise it'll lose its elastic texture and get soggy.
Product of Korea.

S&B - Golden Curry Sauce Mix - Mild 3.5 Oz. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've tried numerous types of curries from all sorts of different stores - Indian grocers, fancy overpriced grocery stores, spice stores, heck, even Walmart. But of all the different types of curry spice mix I've used over the years to make my vegetable curry, the S&B brand is the best.
Before I moved, I would drive an hour into downtown Pittsburgh to this grungy Asian food store to buy ten of these boxes at a time. However, since I left the area I haven't been able to find any store which sells S&B, so I'm particularly thrilled to see that Amazon has it available.
I know it's weird to get this excited over a spice, but I absolutely LOVE vegetable curry and I make it all the time, so I'm very happy I have a new source to purchase my favorite spice from.
Of course, I should mention that this is a JAPANESE curry blend, not Indian, so if you're looking for more traditional flavored curry, I'm not sure if my review would help. But personally, I think that this spice blend tastes the best. Use your own judgement.

Branch out from just fish!
These japanese prepared vegetables (zuke) add an authentic touch to homemade sushi. Great miso-like flavor and a fun crunch. Million times better than cucumber and lots easier to get than ika (squid) if you like a bit of crunch in your sushi.

I wish the price were a bit cheaper but for such a rare treat, it's worth it. Highly recommend!

Bull-Dog - Vegetable & Fruit Sauce (Chuno) Sauce 10.1 Fl. Oz. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bull Dog's Chuno has become a flavorful addition to my kitchen. I've used it in everything: marinades, rice, stir fries, vegetables, etc. I've also used it by itself or as a base to dipping sauces. It also adds a nice component to homemade bbq sauce. If I had to compare it to something it would be steak sauce. Everytime I want to change a dish up a bit, I use chuno. I've bought mine from somewhere else and didn't know it came in larger sizes. The offering here is almost double the size, but it's also almost triple the price. However, if the place I buy it from were to stop, I'd buy it here without fail. I just wish they had the 50% less salt version.

Miso-Cup Original Golden Vegetable Soup, 4-Count Boxes (Pack of 12) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Delicious -- to me anyway. I do add about 1/2 teaspoon of Kikkoman Ponzu soy sauce because I like a little bit more salty taste. This miso has a depth of flavor that others don't have (to my taste anyway). I like it better than ANY restaurant miso soup that I've had. I notice that the flavor improves if I let it sit in my cup for a couple of minutes before eating. I did not like the version of this soup that includes the seaweed because it is simply too fishy tasting (again, in my opinion). Minor problem: There are 4 envelopes in the box. Each envelope will make 2 8 oz. servings. The problem is that it is difficult to exactly split the quantity in the envelope into two equal portions. My solution is to lay the envelope on the counter, flatten it, find the middle of the product packed portion, fold the envelope on that line and then cut the envelop in half with scissors. This works OK but I'd prefer that the envelopes were half size.

Bull-Dog - Vegetable & Fruit Tonkatsu Sauce 10.1 Fl. Oz. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I learned to love Bull Dog Tonkatsu sauce while I was living in Japan. There was a small deli/grill just outside my local train station that sold set meals of tempura and tonkatsu. (For those who may not know, tonkatsu is a breaded, deep fried pork cutlet. The sauce is designed to garnish this delicacy.) I used to pick some up on my way home from work, stamping my feet to keep warm as I trudged up the interminable hill that led to my apartment. I bought this sauce at the local grocery store and kept it on hand for just such occasions!
To the previous reviewer who compared the flavor to that of nutmeg: Bravo! you almost nailed it:) I have a home made version of tonkatsu sauce I cobble together as a clone. It calls for a significant amount of allspice and clove, as well as a generous splash of sake. If you Google for recipes you can experiment yourself, if you're so inclined. But then, the good folks over at Bull Dog may object to my counter productive views--sorry folks! :)
In closing, I want to urge you to visit Japan and try tonkatsu for yourselves! I had a wonderful time during the two years I lived there! Here's a treasure hunt for you: there is a restaurant specializing in tonkatsu to be found on the top floor of the mall that encompasses the bullet train station in Kyoto. Give that place a try for an unbeatable taste of Japanese cuisine; the view is fantastic! I recommend it highly. Bon appetit!:)
