What do the crazy expensive rice cookers do that the cheap ones don't? Congee and stuff?

More settings as opposed to On/Off, and some will also use fuzzy logic controllers.

For example, my panasonic is fuzzy logic enabled and has the following settings:
White rice
Brown rice
Quick cook
Time cook (set it to X, hit start, and the rice will be ready at X time, then go into hold mode)
Sushi rice
Porridge
Slow cook
Steam

If i don't have sake around (or at least cheaper sake i don't mind cooking with), what can i sub for yakitori sauce?

I've got the following recipes which at least give me the basic profile: Can i just use mirin and skip the sake? Use some chinese cooking rice wine? Or is the sake a fundamental part of the sauce?

From a link in this thread: there were 3 versions:

YAKITORI TARE 1
-Soy sauce: 130 cc/ml
-Japanese sake: 100 cc/ml
-Sweet Japanese sake/mirin: 100 cc/ml
-Mizuame: 50 g (if unavailable, use corn syrup) (or honey)
-Sugar: 30 g
-Garlic: 1 clove (chopped)
-Fresh ginger: 5x5cm piece (Thinly sliced)

YAKITORI TARE 2
INGREDIENTS:

-Soy sauce: 50~60 cc/ml
-Sweet Japanese sake/mirin: 50 cc/ml
-Japanese sake: 50 cc/ml
-Sugar: 1 tablespoon

YAKITORI TARE 3
INGREDIENTS:

-Japanese sake: 1 tablespoon
-Japanese sweet sake/mirin: 1 tablespoon
-White wine: 2 tablespoons
-Light soy sauce: 7 tablespoons
-Thick soy sauce (tamari shoyu): 1/2 teaspoon
-Brown sugar: 7 tablespoons
-Black pepper: as appropriate

You can use Chinese cooking wine, I actually prefer it on meat dishes.

I assume white over shaoxing? I ask because I realized i have both.

I've only used shaoxing, never seen white before.


Now you see it :)

This is the only valid reaction to soju. A terrible drink.

I'd rather drink soju than baijiu.

Sounds perfect for curry katsu.

That was dinner last night.



Carrot, onion, sweet potato, acorn squash.
A knob of dark chocolate with the curry mix.
