| 1 | CleanVideoVideo #0013 – Japanese Classic Cuisine: Curry with Rice | In today's episode we show you how to make another classic Japanese dish, one you've no doubt seen at one time or another: Curry with Rice. Sponsor: MozyPro Online Backup: Simple, Automatic & Secure Backup: http://mozy.com/pro Watch this video on YouTube INGREDIENTS: For the roux: * 3 tbsp. Butter * 1/4 cup flour * 2 tbsp. garam masala (or curry powder) * 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper, add to taste * black pepper, add to taste * 1 tbsp. ketchup or tomato paste * 1 tbsp. tonkatsu sauce or worcestershire sauce For the curry: * 2 tsp. Oil * 2 Onions, sliced thin * 2 lb. chicken thighs, cleaned and cut into chunks * 2 carrots, cut into chunks * 4 cups water * 2 yukon gold potatoes, cut into chunks * 1 apple, peeled, cored and pureed * 2 tsp. kosher salt * 1 tsp. garam masala * 1/2 cup peas METHOD: 1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium low heat and add the onions. Saute the onions until they are golden brown and caramelized (about 30 minutes). Turn up the heat to high, add the chicken and brown. 2. Add the carrots, and the water then bring to a boil. Skim off any foam or oil that accumulates at the surface then lower heat to medium and add the potatoes, pureed apple, salt and garam masala. Simmer for about 30 minutes or until you can pass a fork through the carrots and potatoes and the meat is tender. 3. For the roux, melt the butter over medium low heat. Add the flour and garam masala, stirring until you have a thick paste. Add the cayenne pepper and some fresh ground black pepper and incorporate into the roux. Add the ketchup and tonkatsu sauce and combine. Continue to cook until the paste starts crumbling. Remove from heat and set aside until the meat and veggies are ready. 4. To make the curry, just ladle about 2 cups of liquid into the roux then whisk until it’s smooth. Pour this mixture back into the other pot and gently stir until thickened. Add the peas and heat through. 5. Serve over rice or noodles. | 1/3/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

In honor of this release, we return to the Otaku no Podcast test kitchens where I show you how to make "Tenshi" Tachibana Kanade's favorite dish, Mapo Tofu.

| 6 | CleanVideoVideo #0008 – How to install Kanon with English patch | Kanon is one of my all-time favorite anime, and in my opinion a perfect example of "never judge a book by its cover," as well as the value of every now and then stepping outside your "anime comfort zone." Kanon is based on a visual novel, which I have for years been wanting to play. And now I can, thanks to Non-Directional Translation's unofficial Kanon English patch. Getting this all installed and configured is a bit tricky, and in this video, I show you how to get up and running.

| 7 | CleanVideoVideo #0007 – Japanese Classic Cuisine: Yakitori | Yes, I'm taking another break from audio podcasting. Today I show you how to make a classic Japanese dish that you've probably had many times before, Yakitori. Ingredients: 1 package chicken thighs (about 6 pieces) 1 small bundle green onions (negi) 2 tbsp. sugar 2/3 cup soy sauce 6 tbsp. sake (Japanese rice wine) 2 tbsp. mirin (Japanese sweet cooking sake) Directions: Soak skewers in water, at least 30 minutes before cooking. Combine soy sauce, sake, mirin and sugar; cook until boiling. Boil about 1 minute then set aside. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces (about 1 inch or so), removing bones if necessary. Peel off the skin, and trim any excess fat and skin with the knife. Thread chicken and negi onto skewers, alternating between chicken and negi. Cook over charcoal or bake in an oven (I usually set it to 350 degrees). Cook until meat is firm but not tough, and/or an instant read thermometer reads 160 degrees. Notes: Those of you wishing to avoid alcohol can leave it out of the sauce. The taste won't be quite the same, but should still be good. Also, mirin is available in a version without alcohol as well (basically has the flavor of mirin without the alcohol). If desired, lightly sprinkle salt and pepper (to taste) on the skewers before coating with sauce. If you've got the time, marinate your chicken and negi in the sauce. Let it soak at least 1 hour, preferably all day (prepare it in the morning, eat it for dinner). For improved texture and to caramelize the sauce, finish your yakitori under the broiler for an additional 5 minutes or so at the end. Boneless skinless thighs can sometimes be found in your market's frozen foods section. Some people like to shake some toasted sesame seeds on them right before serving. It goes well with edamame (soybeans in the shell). And, of course, beer. Traditionally, yakitori is made with just about every part of the bird, including the innards (gizzards, etc.). I'm not really a big fan of chicken innards (as I suspect is true of much of the American viewing audience), so I leave them out. | 1/20/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

| 10 | CleanVideoVideo #0004 – The Sushi Experiment 3.0: Nigiri, Temaki, Chirashi, and Facing the Fish | Greetings, and welcome to the third and final installment in this series of sushi making videos. It's finally time to run with the big dogs and face your fears - raw fish. But don't worry, it's not as difficult as it sounds, and assuming you have access to a reasonably good Asian foods market (or are willing to order frozen products shipped to you in dry ice over the internet) you'll be just fine. (Look at it this way, not only do you get good quality raw fish, but also dry ice to play with. Fun!) Today we learn how to make Temaki, or hand rolls; and Nigiri, or pressed sushi. We also take a brief detour and learn the Way of the Blade - handling sushi knives. This is the final video in the Sushi series. Hopefully you've enjoyed it. I'll be returning to audio podcasting after this. But stay tuned until the end of the video, because I'll be talking about the future of Otaku no Podcast and these video podcasts.

| 11 | CleanVideoVideo #0003 – The Sushi Experiment 2.0: Rolled Sushi | Well, I didn't get any angry e-mails or death threats, so I'm assuming that you folks liked our first videocast (or were at the very least willing to tolerate it). So we're back with another. In this, our second installment in the Sushi series, we'll be talking about how to make maki sushi, or rolled sushi. We'll be making two of the most popular examples of this - kappa maki, or cucumber roll; and the infamous California Roll. (To those of you wondering when Anime on the Cheap Part 2 is coming, the answer is - "sometime, hopefully soon." I'm taking a break from audio podcasting mostly because I'm procrastinating, and also because I have fun new toys [video camera, mic, sushi making equipment, knives, etc.] to play with :-) ) Links to some of the products mentioned in this video: [amtap amazon:asin=B000216TKC] [amtap amazon:asin=B000BPNATM] [amtap amazon:asin=B000FJLXHU] [amtap amazon:asin=B000EGZ97Y] [amtap amazon:asin=B00007J5U7] [amtap amazon:isbn=0764544659] | 1/30/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 12 | CleanVideoVideo #0002 – The Sushi Experiment 1.0: Inari Sushi | Welcome to our first ever videocast. Okay, technically this is our second videocast, but since the first one was an Anime LA highlights video I put together over 9000 years ago, it doesn't really count. In this first videocast, we take a brief journey away from anime, and into the kitchen, and I teach you how to make Inari Sushi, a tasty treat perfect for munching on during anime watching parties. (I mentioned this in Anime on the Cheap part 1) And no raw fish is involved! This is really an experiment for me. I won't do these videocasts very often - maybe one every few months at best - so don't worry, your bandwidth won't be choked up with huge downloads every week.
