Dinner was awesome, last night! Went with an old friend from high school and her boyfriend. Actually, oddly enough, we all went to high school, together! :lol: LOL

It was a pretty large dinner. Well, it seemed pretty large, to me.
I had:
- edamame (steamed soybeans)
- nabeyaki udon, which is a large bowl of thick udon noodles served with chicken, naruto (sliced fish cakes -- a little hard to explain) and boiled egg, and with a side of shrimp and vegetable tempura. It's served so hot that the metal bowl it's served in has to be put on a wooden board, like fajitas...
- and for sushi, I had various nigiri (individual sushi) and shared a dragon roll and a shrimp tempura roll with my friends!

unfortunately, they didn't have beef takaki on the regular menu... though they probably do have it on their list of specials that rotate throughout the year.

Actually the only thng you have to make for it is the sauce. That and you want to cook the meat to rare. overcooking it makes the dish lose.. something. You probably know what I mean.
You only want to sear the outside of the beef (after seasoning it, of course) after doing so, take it from the pan and dunk it into an ice bath, for a minute or so, to stop the cooking.

As for the sauce, here's my recipe: (use a conversion table if you can't use ml or g)

8cm of Konbu ( dried kelp )
450 ml of dark soy sauce
90 ml of mirin
40 g dried bonito flakes
3 garlic cloves, chopped finely

Combine all the ingredients in your "saucepot" and bring it to a boil. Turn off the heat and let it steep for ten minutes and then strain it.

If you want a more "detalied" version. (how to serve/prepare the beef) let me know.

Vote 'mute in '08! - because Paris Hilton and P. Diddy will both talk about it for months without acctually doing it themselves.

The adjectives add an element of psychological warfare amongst the children, because they can insult the circle, confuse the circle with 'May Duck' or 'Gray Puck'
