Watching you cook the pork reminds me of what I was told about a saimin stand owned by a Okinawan couple, back in the early 1960s. They would boil an entire pigs head held in cheese cloth. I wondered how the broth tasted so good. Thank you for the stroll down memory lane.

Hi Cari, It’s good to see that your trying this recipe and sharing for all of us. May we recommend that you use spare rib( country style) for your broth. Then you may have more taste from the rib bone! Happy cooking !

I'm surprised you folks didn't use garlic in both the broth and the shoyu pork. I also believe the pork bones should've had meat on them which would have imparted more flavor into the broth. Could Bonito flakes be substituted with hondashi? What is the food on a stick? Is it like a corn dog but with andagi batter? Nice video guys. I'll have to try this recipe. Mahalo.

@Caritaira 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, I believe you can use bonito flakes in place of hondashi or dash in general. The food on the stick were andadogs... hot dogs covered in andagi batter! So yum!

Just wondering if the smells coming from your grandmother's cooking was the soup base for making Okinawan pig's feet soup. Also wondering if you could have gotten more pork flavor if you cooked the bones in a pressure cooker. Since I'm on the mainland and I can't get Okinawan soba from a restaurant. So I buy the Sun Noodle Okinawan soba that comes with the soup base. Impressive that you wanted to make it at home. I'm too lazy! BTW, you should check out the Okinawan soba at Sunrise, Utage, or Violet's Grill.

@Caritaira 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, I think you’re right regarding the smell. And using a pressure cooker sounds like a good idea. Maybe we can try that next time. And thank you so much for the suggestion!! We will check out those places!

@@Caritaira If you get a chance next year, go to the Worldwide Uchinanchu Festival in Okinawa next year. You will learn so much there and the food is outstanding. Plan now and check out N&K Travel in Kapahulu. They usually charter planes to fly directly to fly into Naha. I've been there twice and want to go again if I can.

It’s so funny that you mention that because my dad was actually talking about going to Okinawa next year! I think it was for that same convention. It would be awesome to take a family trip there. I’ve never been!
