Many Americans are fascinated by Japanese culture. We've found a lot to love about the Japanese culture, especially when it comes to the food. If you want a Japanese flair for your party or you just want a nice Japanese snack for yourself, here are some ideas.
Yakitori - This popular snack food is a kabob, especially good for parties or casual dinners. It also complements Saki and Japanese beer. Begin by soaking your wooden skewers in water to prevent them from burning. -3 chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces -1 teaspoon sugar -2 Tablespoons sake -3 Tablespoons mirin -3 Tablespoons soy sauce Skewer the chicken on the soaked skewers. Mix remaining ingredients in a bowl. Grill the skewered chicken, using the sauce as a baste. Edamame - Edamame has become more popular as a Japanese snack food in America in recent years, so it's getting easier to find it in the grocery stores. Edamame is easy to serve up. You could have it in a bowl, readily available for snacking on like chips (don't forget the beer). You could toss it in a bag like trail mix and eat it on the run. It's a good way to get kids to eat more vegetables, too. (Be careful around people who are allergic to soy, though.) First, wash your edamame completely. Then, fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add one tablespoon of salt to the water along with the edamame. Boil for three to four minutes. Drain, then add a dash more salt. Let the edamame cool, then store in an airtight container. Sunonomo (cucumber and Daikon salad) - This is an excellent side for just about any meal, though it's also great by itself as a refreshing afternoon snack. Ingredients: - 1 daikan radish - 1 cucumber - 5 tbsp rice vinegar - 2 tbsp sugar - 1 tsp salt Peel the radish first before cutting it into thin slices. Cut the cucumber just as thinly. Salt both vegetables and allow the salt to soak in for about ten minutes. Wash them off and drain well. Mix the vinegar and sugar and pour over the veggies. Let sit for at least fifteen minutes before serving. You shouldn't have too much trouble finding Japanese snack foods, because the last few years have seen an expansion in Asian sections in grocery stores. Not to mention there are more Asian specialty stores than there used to be.
