midnight kitchen, "the way to eat butter rice"

 

From the japanese drama, shinya shokudo,

 I realised that rice only with butter and soy sauce can look like delicous.

 

 

The ingredients needed for this food is only

"buttrer, rice and soy sauce" (Actually, I don't know it can be called as food)

And could not be delicous for some people and not that healty one,

I love this food though

 

 

 

 

 

First, add butter on hot rice!

 

and to melt the butter well, put up some rice on the butter

 

 



Second, wait for the butter melting!

 

for about 30 seconds.

 

 



 

It is melted!

Third, Add a little bit of soy sauce on it

 

 

 

 

And enjoy it! :)

Japanese food from the drama, midnight kitchen, shinyashokudou (深夜食堂)

Shinya shokudo is one of japanese dramas from TBS

It's genre is food, human drama and comedy

 

 

 

Short descriptions about this drama is like below

 

 

Set in a small restaurant in the corner of a shopping district. The unusual eatery is only open after midnight, and its standard menu consists of just a single choice. However, the customers still come for the amusing chatter and the proprietor's willingness to cook any dish that they request. This drama depicts the lives of the restaurant's patrons, including a yakuza, an unsuccessful actor, a group of office ladies, a newspaper delivery boy, and a stripper. --Tokyograph 

 

 

 

 just like from the descriptions, there only three limited menu.

But in this drama, there is always different food from every episode.

The policy of this restaurant is that the chef cook the requested food from customer if the chef can make the food right away

 

So I could learn a lot of japanese food from this drama.

Tan Tan Noodle without soup (Dan dan mien) from lonely gourment

 Image from the drama, lonely gourment season 1, episode 3

 

Before I watched the Japanese TV drama, “lonely gourmet” (kodoku no gurume, 孤独のグルメ), I didn’t know and never saw tan tan noodle. I think it is not very popular and not well known food in Korea. Tan tan noodles (or Dandan mein) are Chinese Sichuan cuisine, but I became to know this food from Japanese drama, lonely gourmet when the actor went to the Chinese Sichuan restaurant in episode 3, season1. I don’t know about just tan tan noodles because from the drama, only tan tan noodles without soup were introduced. It looks really tasty and spicy. That is why I had interests in this food at first.

Chinese pepper, sancho in tan tan noodles without soup makes the food much spicier. Normally minced pork is the main ingredient for tan tan noodles.

 
I saw this drama when I’m in Canberra, Australia, so I had to find Chinese restaurant that offer tan tan noodle without soup (It should be without soup, because I wasn’t interested in just normal tan tan noodle). It was hard for me to find the without soup things, not normal one, and my Chinese friend finally found one Chinese restaurant where offer tan tan noodle without soup.

This is the one I ate in Canberra. I don’t know the real Chinese taste of tan tan noodles or the one from drama because this is the first time for me to eat tan tan noodle, but anyway it was really tasty and spicy. I can choose the spicy levels. I think there were like 3 level and I chose middle spicy, which was still hot for me.


★
I have only eaten tan tan noodles once and in canberra, I enjoyed it a lot !
I feel like to eat it again and cook it as well after I tried it. 
So I left the recipes for tan tan noodles without soup below. :)
