Do Re Mi

Hello again!  My apologies for taking so long to make another 'Anime Food' post.  Enjoy! During my childhood days of watching Pokemon, I would often see Brock cooking this white stew thing.  It would look so yummy but I had no idea what it was..  And even though my entire family and extended family was Japanese, none of them ever made something like this.  (T__T)  The closest thing I got was corn chowder. Only recently did I discover that it's called cream stew and luckily, it's quite the easy recipe. ^^ I remember the very first time I made this.  I used a cream stew mix pack from the store (the one that has the blocks that you melt in the pot).  That turned out pretty bad so I highly recommend people make this one from scratch.  It's really does taste so much better this way.  I'm lazy so instead of having the pretty diced pieces of carrot, I threw in some baby carrots.  XD Close up ;3 I found this recipe ...

Hi guys!  I would like to say thank you all so much for your comments on the first two "Anime Food!" posts-! ヽ(´▽`)/  I'm really happy that you all were amused by them! This really should have been posted before the first two "Anime Food!" posts but me being the impulsive person I am, chose food over intro so that's why this is being published now.  My mistake! I thought it would be a good idea to make an intro about why I decided to start the "Anime Food!" project.  I've always loved anime food, even as a child.  I believe the very first anime food I've ever seen was from Tonari no Totoro with Satsuki and Mei eating homemade bento and mochi omiyage that Kanta brought over to their house. For some reason, it always looked so delicious and I would get crazy hungry after watching anime that featured food.  I could also tell that in many cases, the animators would put careful detail into the food.  Only when I got older would I re...

Hello again!  I feel like I'm on a roll here but don't get used to it!  xD I present the second anime food I attempted; The golden, ever so crispy korokke.  This seems to show up in a lot of anime bento boxes and as an appetizer/side dish on an elaborate dinner table spread.  It's also a hot seller in Japan, being easily found as it shows up almost everywhere with all kinds of dishes.  There's even food stands are dedicated to producing just korokke. Korokke is the Japanese pronunciation of 'Croquette' which is a common name for a mashed potato mix that's covered in batter or wrapping and then deep fried. It's common in a wide range of countries. In the Japanese version, korokke is covered in batter, dipped in panko (dried bread crumbs) and deep fried until golden brown.  When fresh, its crispy exterior is the perfect contrast to the delicately soft mashed potato mixture inside. I was stupid and used 4 potatoes which made waaaay too much mash...

Woooo hooooooooooo, my first 'official' Anime food attempt~!!!! I'm super obsessed with anime food because it looks so damn delicious in every anime I watch and it makes me really, really hungry-!  So I decided to re-create these dishes. I've tried doing this in the past and many times, failing at making it look just as delicious...  But!  I'm stepping up my game now so I hope you guys enjoy this series of blogs I'm starting.  Maybe it will get you all inspired to re-create your own anime food! Enjoy~! My first dish that I decided to make is the famous ramen!  I'm sure you all have drooled over this dish in an anime at some point.  I swear, ramen must show up in every other anime. Okay, I know this isn't an 'exact' replica but I'll try harder in the future!  I was rushing on this one and it literally took me only 5 minutes to whip up! ( > ~ <) I really don't like ham (sorry to all you hammie lovers) so I decided to...
