Im going to introduce you to a all japanese feast: Menu -Cold Soba -Tempura -Sashimi
TEMPURA (Four servings)
Batter: Ingredients= 1 egg 1 cup of ice water 1 cup of all-purpose flour
Beat an egg in a bowl. Add ice water in the bowl. Be VERY sure to use very cold water. Add sifted flour in the bowl and mix lightly. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Cooking Tempura: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 340-350F degree. Lightly dip ingredients in the batter and immediately fry them until crisp. It takes longer to fry vegetables than to fry seafood. Drain tempura on a rack. Serve right away with tentsuyu (tempura dipping sauce) or salt. Tempura is best served hot. *Grated daikon radish is a common condiment.
Sauce: 1 cup dashi soup stock 1/4 cup mirin 1/4 cup soy sauce 1/2 tbsp sugar
Put mirin in a pan and heat. Add soy sauce and dashi soup stock in the pan. Bring the sauce to a boil.
SOBA (Four servings)
Noodles:Ingredients=14 oz. dried soba (buckwheat noodles) 2 cups - 2 1/2 cups mentsuyu (dipping sauce) Wasabi paste and finely chopped green onion for toppings
Cooking Noodles Boil water in a large pot. Add dried soba noodles in the boiling water, gently stirring noodles with chopsticks. Turn down the heat to medium. Boil soba noodles, following the package instructions. It usually takes a couple minutes to boil soba. If it's necessary, add a little bit of cold water in the pot to prevent overflowing. Drain soba and cool the noodles in cold water. Gently wash noodles with hands and drain well. Divide soba among four serving plates or zaru (draining bamboo baskets). Divide mentsuyu (noodle dipping soup) among four small cups. Serve finely chopped green onion and wasabi paste on small plates.
Sauce:Ingredients=2 cups konbu and katsuobushi dashi 1/3 cup soy sauce 1/3 cup mirin
Cooking Sauce Put mirin in a sauce pan and heat. Add soy sauce and dashi soup stock in the pan and bring to a boil. Stop the heat. Cool the sauce.
Sashimi Buy a block of fresh maguro (tuna) from a certified store/dealer. Shape it into a rectangle. Slice it diagonally into smaller rectangular pieces. Buy fresh sea bream and scale the fish. Take the head and the guts out and fillet the fish. Remove the small bones. Salt over the skin and put in on cutting board. Pour boiling water over the fish and cool it in ice water immediately. Dry the fish with a paper towel and cut the fish slices into smaller pieces.
