rice seasonings

[amietron]

A lot of white folk I know like to drench white rice with soy sauce. When you're out of okazu, side dishes, and you need to eat really quick, what do you eat with your rice?

furikake - seaweed seasoning ?
umeboshi- pickled plums ?
tsukemono - pickled cabbage ?
takuan - pickled daikon radish ?
mentaiko - spicy cod roe ?

Have you ever had neko manma? A raw egg mixed with hot rice and a little soy sauce? In Japan, my cousins like to eat that for breakfast.

I eat rice with soy sauce all the time, but my grandma "tsk tsk's" me, because that's what the poor people eat.

Well, grandma, I'm poor.

I'll usually eat with some kimchee or leftover salmon, or something.

[bigwong235]

how about just plain white rice? i don't like putting soy sauce on my rice.

i want some pickled cabbage though! :D

Rice is awesome 'cause anything goes with it (sometimes even sweet stuff!). Or maybe....I am just different..........LOL

A lotta times, poor food is the best food. I've always loved buyin' Dunkin Donuts by the bulk, rather than spend my dough on some upscale restaurant that serves me some $50 dish, and the ornamental big ass flower in the middle is bigger than the steak that comes with it, and it kinda tastes a bit better than plastic.

*Disclaimer* wouldn't know what plastic tastes like cause I would never be stupid enough to try it :unsure:

i had a white friend who would only eat rice w/salt...he's just sit there emptying the salt shaker in his plate while we'd be staring.... :blink:

I do that :P Rice goes with anything and everything. I'll even eat noodles or some other type of base grain or carb food with it.

that's called gari. it's pickled ginger.

I usually toss a raw egg in there and add some soysauce.

But when I have panchan i use it.

mmm...i meant the shredded pink stuff...it's kinda sweet...i think it's dried fish or something, but i don't know why it's pink.

[thaite]

I'm not sure what you got, Kasie, but the shredded pink stuff we use is usually dried shrimp.

[himura-dono]

fish powder if i'm in a hurry and need something to go.

but if i have time i throw in some ginger and kim chee. maybe it sounds gross...but it's good.

[ellsworth81]

i use everything ... ranging from mustard, to ketchup, worcestershire, soy sauce, etc

yep...i believe it's the dried shrimp.

[himura-dono]

oh yeah, crumbled dried shrimp IS good too... or soak the shrimp in cold water if you have time and chuck em in tupperware w/rice to go.

[Adaon]

I like the dried shredded pork you can buy....pork fu or some junk....if I'm really down and out....I'd get rice.....and buy a couple of slim jims from a local grocery store and eat that........:P

Last year, my house had sushi for dinner one night. One of the German boys went to go clean up his plate, and walked by me and one of the Japanese girls with a saucer that still had about half an inch of soy sauce in it. She turned to me and said, "Nee, dooshite gaijin ga sonna takusan na shoyu -" by which point I was laughing my ass off, trying not to give away to the rest of my roommates who she was talking about.


Hmm, that Japanese looks a little wrong... Oh well.
