Here are more Japanese dishes I have been cooking, but I have no time to record some of the recipes ...sorry..

 

Crabsticks and Avacado sushi rolls (mix chopped crabsticks with mayonnaise)

Ajitsuke Tamago (Japanese flavored soft boiled eggs) 溏心蛋

 

Tonkatsu (deep-fried pork cutlet with breadcrumbs) top with Tonkatsu sauce, serve with miso soup and Japanese rice top with Furikake..

 

Bought this Tonkatsu sauce from last Kyoto trip..you may find this sauce at the shelf of Jusco or other premium supermarket..very nice when serve with Tonkatsu

 

Gyoza with miso soup and Japanese rice top with Furikake

Tuna rice ( I learnt this from Japanese drama-Midnight canteen )..

 

Learnt a quick way of preparing Ramen's soup base from Nami aka Just One Cookbook. Nami's way is to use ground meat instead of thick stock which using bone and spend hour/days to prepare. And we prefer this light miso soup base than the thick and creamy soup base..

I couldn't easily buy fresh ramen at my place, for time being, i found 全蛋麵 (noodles made with 100% of egg) or similar to Wanton noodles best alternative.And remember not to blanch the noodles for too long, less than 1min just nice.
