Hayashi rice is a delicious Japanese stew! I used to buy the roux in Japanese stores in London and in Holland but after the tsunami, it either just disappeared or the prices went up.... So finding the recipe online was perfect to solve the problem of non-availability or high prices!
I got the recipe from Cooking with the Dog on Youtube! :D It's a super good recipe and even if it looks a bit of a hassle, I would really recommend you making this! The fact that it's a video also makes everything easier since you get a visual of how to. To watch the video click here! Follow all the instructions and success is guaranteed :D
The most annoying thing is making the roux but you just need to be patient and thorough with it. Made it quite a few times now and I never burnt the roux (maybe I jinxed myself now nooo). Maybe my problem is that it doesn't become as brown as in the video (since I am always so scared to burn it).
Also don't be discouraged by the amount of ingredients! Most of them are common ingredients (ketchup, honey, soya sauce) and for the not-so-common ones I just skip them! (like bay leaf and Worcestershire sauce) and it still tastes very good. To make a liiiiittle healthier, I also skip the whipping cream at the end...
I also used fresh tagliatelle once because one of the guests I made it for was not a fan of rice ;) And I think it was a really good combo! So if you are not a fan of rice, or just don't have any, pasta also goes great together! :)
