Errk, sorry. Should have been clearer ...

Yeah, this is the stuff you need for Katsu Kare - looks almost like a
lump of (really odd looking) chocolate. German chinese restaurants use
it a lot, weirdly enough.

Yeah, that's the katsu sauce.

I really like making Yakitori too - get chicken peices, put on skewer 
with bits of spring onion then stick on griddle and baste with a mirin 
(sweet cooking sake) and light soy sauce reduction.

The only problem is that if it burns (say if you accidentally get 
engrossed in watching Futurama whilst cooking *cough*) then it *really* 
stinks up he flat and is a bugger to clean off your griddle pan.

On an asian related note a Korean friend of mine has promised to get me 
a good recipe for Kimichi - I tried making it once before but the 
cabbage I used was far to waxy.

I'll share the love if I get it right.



There's stuff above here
