Any Japanese dishes that's easy and nice? Was the ramen difficult to make xd
The ramen can be easy depending on what you add to them. The base is always pork or chicken broth with thicker noodles. I added a boiled egg, thin slices of spring onion and courgette with slightly boiled thin slices of Turkey (I used the stuff you can put on bread because I'm incredibly lazy), narutomaki (which is a fish cake used commonly in ramen, you'll recognise them as the white stars with pink swirls), some seaweed and toasted nori leaves. If you have everything prepared beforehand the broth and noodles are probably hardest to make, unless you just buy your broth from a store.
Thinking of other recipes... the easiest would probably be Hiyashi Chuka, a noodle salad. It's made with cut cucumber, tomato, shredded egg (you have to mix an egg, add some salt a teaspoon of potato starch and a tbsp water to it then cook it thinly as soon as the pan is hot enough, resulting in two to three pieces of
f cooked egg. Easiest is to cut them in half, put them on top of each other and cut them in thin slices), cooked beef or ham slices (or any other meat you'd prefer) and finally soybean sprouts (you cut off the roots and cook them in sesame oil for a few minutes while making sure to not brown them in the process). The sauce I use is usually a combination of soy sauce (3 tbsp), white vinegar (4tbsp (rice vinegar is usually tastier)), sugar (2 tbsp), 70 ml water, 1/2 tsp grated ginger (or 1 tsp if you use powder) and sesame oil (1 tsp).
For noodles I preferably use Shirataki noodles, which are very low calorie but taste really nice. Those are easily prepared, as you only soak them in boiling water for 30 seconds. Either way, you let the noodles rest in a bit of the sauce so they soak it up while you prepare the rest. Cause it's a salad everything can be eaten cool as well.
@Gio: I saw that one in a manga once. If it weren't for the fact the egg was raw I'd actually try it :x (but you know, salmonella bacteria and all that...)
