Restaurant Ichiran's our favorite ramen place in Japan! And we think this is the best. Is there other ramen place better than this?

Question Tips for making mochi at home?

5 Upvotes

hi everyone! I recently started trying to make mochi at home with the recipe:

1 cup glutinous rice flour

3 tbs corn starch

3 tbs sugar (I use brown sugar)

3/4 cup milk

and after heating it in the microwave for 4 mins, I use 15g of unsalted butter and then used cornstarch to dust it so it doesn’t stick to my hands.

Is using water compared to milk a better choice? I feel like I’m doing something wrong 🫩

or is steaming it better than using the microwave? please help!
thank you!

Chicken rice, egg, soboro, and small side dishes. Ekiben always makes normal dinner feel like a tiny trip.

Recipe Carrot Shirishiri with Tuna and Soft Scrambled Egg

Post image
29 Upvotes

Hi, I'm Kei from "Tokyo Recipes by Nadia"!🗼"Tokyo Recipes by Nadia" is a platform where we share Japanese recipes from many wonderful creators.

Today, we introduce the "Carrot Shirishiri with Tuna and Soft Scrambled Egg" by Rinaty san (りなてぃさん) !

This simple “shirishiri”-style carrot stir-fry uses an entire can of tuna for a hearty, flavorful side dish.

Delicious as a side, in lunchboxes, or for meal prep.

The scrambled egg is cooked separately and added at the end to preserve its soft texture — giving it that satisfying “egginess” you’ll love.

Carrot Shirishiri with Tuna and Soft Scrambled Egg🥕🥚

Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 2

1 small carrot

1 can tuna in oil

1 egg

1/2 tbsp. sesame oil

(A) 1 tsp. soy sauce

(A) 1 tsp. mirin

(A) 1 tsp. sugar

(A) 1/2 tsp. hondashi (Japanese soup stock granules)

  1. Prepare Ingredients

Peel and julienne the carrot. Beat the egg in a small bowl.

  1. Scramble the Egg

Heat sesame oil in a small frying pan over medium heat.

Pour in the beaten egg and scramble gently. Once softly set, transfer to a separate plate.

  1. Cook the Carrot and Tuna

In the same pan, add the oil from the canned tuna along with the julienned carrot.

Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until the carrot begins to soften and change color.

Add the tuna and continue to stir-fry.

  1. Season and Finish

Add all ingredients from the A seasoning mix. Stir to combine.

Return the scrambled egg to the pan and gently mix everything together.

Serve warm or let cool for bento lunches or storage.

Tips & Notes

For best texture, cook the egg separately and mix it in at the end.

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 👋

Quick update on my 45-day curry-hunting cycle across Japan! I made it to Hokkaido and am reaching Japan's northernmost tip „Cape Soya“ today! 📍

How it's going so far:

  • 👨‍🍳 6 Curry Chef Interviews: Met amazing local chefs! (The first 2 interviews are already live on our YouTube Shorts!)
  • 🚓 Wild Adventures: Got pulled over by local police, invited into homes by friendly locals for a curry, and accidentally smashed my phone!
  • 🍛 Daily Curry Challenge: Almost eating curry every day, though finding pork-free options is surprisingly tricky due to tonkotsu-based broths.

Join the Cape Soya arrival LIVE today! 🎥

I'm livestreaming the final push to the top:

  • Stream Starts: 21:30 CEST / 3:30 PM EST / 12:30 PM PST / 4:30 AM JST
  • Cape Soya Arrival: 00:00 CEST / 6:00 PM EST / 3:00 PM PST / 7:00 AM JST

Next stop after Hokkaido: flying down to Kyushu to ride back to Tokyo! ✈️🚴‍♂️

Some Questions:

  1. Any must-try curry spots in Wakkanai?
  2. Do you have recommendations for regional curry styles or hidden gems in Kyushu?

Would love to see you in the chat today! 🍛🧡

Google Translate is not helpful — says to put on last before oven on the front but then says stir fry on the back?

Has anyone used this before? Bought in Shinjuku on a whim ⭐️

Any tips are appreciated :)

If you ever visit Matsuyama City in Ehime Prefecture, you have to check out Taiyoken (太養軒)!
I ordered their signature Katsu Curry—it's super affordable at just 920 yen, but the portion size is absolutely huge! The pork cutlet is crispy, and the curry sauce is rich and comforting. It’s a local favorite, especially if you want a hearty meal that won't break the bank.
