S&B Golden Curry Medium Hot Mix

Sorry about not taking and "After made" picture. The Golden Curry brand is pretty much the only Japanese Curry prepackaged sauce mix I can find in town. There are a few flavors/mix's and I grabbed the Medium Hot which isn't that spicy. There is a hotter version. Seeing the word Curry don't get in confused with Indian curry which is a LOT more spicy. This is Japanese curry where you mix the sauce with you choice of meat: beef, chicken, lamb or shrimp it recommends. I usually go with chicken or beef since they are cheaper and also really tasty. Then you add what you want, I go with some green onions, sweet onions, carrots and maybe some celery. You cook all of that in a pan for awhile until slightly brown. You want to make sure you cook your meat right, don't be eating raw chicken. Then you add the water and you open the box and you have this brown looking bar. Break it up and place it in the pan and stir it in. It will melt in and eventually turn into this sauce and cover all your ingredients. Keep stirring until it has completely broken down and you are pretty much ready to go. I serve this with rice. It is great and I think I want to try out the hotter version  next. 

It is usually $2.50 for the box and that makes the meal for two easily. I got this on sale for $1.50

Want something different then grab a box of this in your "Spicy" preference and make some dinner. Don't disappoint!

Will warn, lots of Sodium if you are going to try to eat the whole serving yourself.

          

Kikkoman Somen Tsuyu Sauce

Everyone has heard of the company Kikkoman, mostly for their soy sauce that can be found on any table in an Asian food restaurant. I bet your soy sauce in your house is Kikkoman. They also have a lot of other type of sauces to use for various uses. I picked up a bottle of this ready to use base for cold noodles. If you are going to eat Somen noodles and you are going to serve them cold in a bowl, then this is the sauce you want. 

That day Ms. Noodle and I got a bag of Some noodles and I saw this bottle that I used once before when I was invited over for a cook out with Japanese baseball coaches cooking dinner. It was a delight. 

Just boil some water to get the noodles to the desired tenderness that you like and serve them in a bowl (with out water or liquids in bowl). Let them cool off for serving and then, using this bottle of "Somen Tsuyu" pour it on the noodles to the desired amount.

It adds a great flavor to them, I think they use various fishy things and some soy sauce but it is a great way to eat cold noodle. I recommend getting this for Somen noodles if you want to not serve hot noodles. It might be good on hot noodles, I don't know!

Here they are on Amazon if interested. I suggest getting the smaller bottle as they recommend using it after opening in a few days. I got the large bottle and ended up having to store the rest in the freezer.
