This is the real Heaven on a Stick.
Thick sliced of fresh Renkon (Lotus root). Washed and white. About half an inch thick. Crumbed lightly and then deep fried relatively slowly on a butterfly skewer. Eaten straight from the kitchen and dipped in Ponzu sauce, they have to be my favourite thing in the world at the moment. […]
If you love Asian stirfry, but investing in a high-powered stove with 35K BTU is out of the question, this might be one answer for you. StirCrazy is a restaurant chain with several locations in the Midwest, plus New York and Florida. Their first restaurant opened in September ‘06 with more popping up […]
I have been denying this for the longest time. But Amazon is the behemoth that no one can avoid. I always search for the best prices on everything and sometimes, sometimes, other folks beat Amazon. But they’ve become this one-stop shop. It’s like Walmart (only nicer, and with a better selection) […]
Oklahoma City has a large Asian — particularly Vietnamese — population, being one of the cities chosen for refugee relocation when Saigon fell in the ’70’s. Through the years more Vietnamese and other Asian migrants moved to the area and today there are approximately 30,000 Asian-Americans here. Asian businesses are thriving and more […]
I got an e-mail yesterday asking me what “tea oil” is and if I would recommend it. I’ve never used tea oil (though I’ve seen it advertised for skin care), so I don’t know how good it is for cooking; Deh-ta Hsiung does say it’s one of the most common cooking oils in China, […]
In Atlanta, Tom Catherall offers sushi alongside his strip steak bestseller.
From Jack Hayes in Nation’s Restaurant News:
The restaurant holds 1,000 guests on Friday and Saturday nights and is on pace to finish its first year with $9 million, the highest gross of all of Catherall’s Atlanta concepts, which also include Goldfish and Twist near […]
Where to shop for Asian food when you’re in Cincinnati. There are other choices, but if you want to go to just one store that has most, if not all, of the Asian ingredients you need, come here.
I’m providing the address, phone and hours here. But if you forget and have to look […]
Could you e-mail or post a comment please? I’m trying to compile a list of Aji Ichiban stores (especially in the US), but other locations are okay too — and I only have the New York and Chicago locations. They’re supposed to have at least 12 stores in the US but the Aji […]
A reader asks: “Nori isn’t readily available where I am. Any suggestions for a substitute?”
The only other seaweed that I know can substitute for nori is “ulva” aka sea lettuce but I’ve never seen it here so I can’t vouch for it. There’s some info here if you’re interested.
There is also something […]
