Yakitori - A kabob that makes for a very popular snack or party food. It goes nicely with Japanese beer and Saki, and makes for a good casual dinner accompaniment. To start with, soak your wooden skewers in water so that they won't burn. -3 chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces -1 teaspoon sugar -2 Tablespoons sake -3 Tablespoons mirin -3 Tablespoons soy sauce Skewer the chicken on the soaked skewers. Mix remaining ingredients in a bowl. Grill the skewered chicken, using the sauce as a baste. Edamame - This used to be hard to find, but now that edamame has gotten popular with Americans, it's become more readily available in grocery stores. Edamame is easy to serve up. You could have it in a bowl, readily available for snacking on like chips (don't forget the beer). You could toss it in a bag like trail mix and eat it on the run. It's a good way to get kids to eat more vegetables, too. (Be careful around people who are allergic to soy, though.) Wash your edamame thoroughly. Boil a large pot of water. Add a Tablespoon of salt to the boiling water and boil the edamame for three to four minutes. Drain and sprinkle with a little more salt. Cool it and store in an airtight container. Sunonomo (cucumber and Daikon salad) - This dish is excellent either as a fresh snack in the afternoon or as a side dish for any meal. -1 daikan radish -1 cucumber -5 Tablespoons rice vinegar -2 Tablespoon sugar -1 teaspoon salt Peel the radish and slice it thinly. Slice the cucumber just as thinly. Salt both vegetables and allow the salt to soak in for about ten minutes. Wash them off and drain well. Mix the vinegar and sugar and pour over the veggies. Let sit for at least fifteen minutes before serving. Japanese snack food ingredients shouldn't be difficult to find. The Asian sections in American grocery stores have expanded greatly, and there are more Asian specialty stores opening all the time. Article Source: http://www.articlewheel.com
