How to cook Spaghetti Napolitan (Japanese style pasta) 〜ナポリタン〜 | easy Japanese home cooking recipe

[@ivorybow]

I have been watching your channel now for 3 weeks and only eating your recipes. I love it! A nice technique the Italians use is to pour a little bit of the pasta water into the finished pasta dish and let it simmer a minute until the spaghetti absorbs it. This makes the sauce stick to the pasta.

[@Spring_Moon_7501]

As an Italian, I'm glad that spaghetti is so popular in Japan that people created their own sauce for it 😊

[@taijiskitchen]

oh really?! thats so nice to know, that you are (or at least one of you) is not offended about varying your cuisine!! thanx for your comment! and of course, I (and most of Japanese people) love also your authentic Italian cuisine as well!! we have a lot of good real Italian restaurants!!

[@miriammanolov9135]

There are always different ways to make food that fits our cultures, budget, and taste buds. None of us are professionals or being judged by chef Gordon Ramsay ( Thank God for that one 😅) ... So, you continue doing your awesome videos, and we appreciate your ideas !!

[@taijiskitchen]

wow, such an inspiring comment!! thanks so so much! (I was actually a bit scared/nervous on uploading this video, lol) I will keep making more quality and various videos!! thanx for your support!!

[@miriammanolov9135]

@@taijiskitchen You're welcome. When I make middle eastern version of spaghetti, I add 7-spice mixture to the marinara sauce. Or, I give a little Greek flavor with more cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg 😊 I applaud you for posting your videos with confidence, since it is hard to please everyone in such judgemental world. Keep it up young man 👍👍

[@saint-naive]

[@giovannipolizzi6057]

Hi Taiji, yummy recipe and...you eating spaghetti like an Italian, well done to you!! 👍🏻👍🏻...also using the. spoon can be helpful.. and I often use it like a lot of Italians in....not formal dinners! 😜btw...Great channel, I love Japanese kitchen and life and your explanations are so good! Bravo!!

[@sabrinacuffaro]

I'm sorry but there's no need to use a spoon to eat pasta. I'm Italian and we use only the fork

[@mikiohirata9627]

I know so many ppl hate Ketchup but it's one of the few things Americans brought to Japan after WW2 and it became a very popular addition to Japanese cooking and variety of food is invented (such as sauces) using it.

[@Nonessential888]

Thanks Taiji. I had some eggplant and it went well with the sauce.

[@luzi29]

Ich dachte es werden Frankfurter verwendet 😊 😲 der trick mit der Mikrowelle ist ja super 🤩

[@kevinlee8035]

I love your preamble: We don't hate you for CA rolls, don't hate us for Napolitan. But CA rolls were invented by a Japanese chef in Vancouver, Canada lol.

[@thinkfood1]

I like your Japanese approach to cooking. Nice kimono by the way👍

[@taijiskitchen]

Thank you so so much!!

[@hanellen102]

In Czech republic spaghetti and ketchup are the basic student dinner :D

[@aucus]

Yay another video! For once, I have no questions! ... Well, I lied; How are you doing? hehe Have an awesome weekend and thank you again for another great video full of ideas to expend our horizons. Much appreciated.

[@aucus]

@@taijiskitchen careful what you wish for ;) Ideas: cleaning and preping fish for grilling. Various rice ball ideas. I'm just happy with any new videos. Will you be going back home during the holidays? Would be nice to know more about how you celebrate the holidays and all the awesome events, traditions and practices :)

ナポリタン、定期的に無性に食べたくなりますよね笑

[@taijiskitchen]

そうなんですか？ 実は私は日本では食べたことないんですよw この動画を撮るために初めて作りました、って言うw でも、結構ハマってその後時々作ってます。

[@glyricsglyrics5434]

Looks yummy 😋

[@taijiskitchen]

it tastes also yummy!! pls give it a try!

[@SY-ok2dq]

This is kind of like how the Japanese adapted Indian curry, to make their own version (I love Japanese curry). Or you could compare it to Americanized Mexican (Tex-Mex, Taco Bell etc.) or American Chinese dishes, or a Koreanized Chinese dish like jajjangmyeon or jjambbong.

[@taijiskitchen]

well, I think every culture does this, making own recipes out of others, thats how the cultures evolve and get richer!!

Im here after watching FIRST LOVE in netflix😍 feb 22,23

[@nanateufelchen]

Als ich das das erste mal gegessen habe war ich sehr überrascht wie gut Ketchup und Nudeln schmecken wenn man es richtig zubereitet:)

[@taijiskitchen]

super!! danke für deine Rückmeldung!! wo hast du Neapolitan gegessen?

[@nanateufelchen]

@@taijiskitchen ich habe es selbst gemacht:) ist natürlich nicht mit dem aus dem Restaurant zu vergleichen aber da ich erst 17 bin kann ich auch nicht einfach mal so nach Japan wobei Japan ganz oben auf meiner Reise Liste steht^^ - Ich habe von dem Gericht das erste mal in einem Manga gehört beziehungsweise gelesen:)

[@taijiskitchen]

@@nanateufelchen ach so, aber das ist ja cool, dass du selber gekocht hast! welche Manga?

[@nanateufelchen]

@@taijiskitchen oh ähm das war in einem Boys Love Manga😳 Tease me or Love me 🙈

[@sayamizuno8920]

Interesting. Neapoli food is more like pasta with seafood and tomato sause. Also pasta with cheese and cheese sauce (optionally with truffles on the top). Never seen anything with sausage in any restaurant. Your wideo made me realize that 🤯

[@taijiskitchen]

oh really?! didn't know that! and I am sure, this dish has nothing to do with Napoli, lol.

[@sayamizuno8920]

@@taijiskitchen Ahaha. Actually when I came back to Poland 🇵🇱 my conclusion was that Napoli tomato sauce was like "I have no sauce on the plate". Compare to polish pasta drowning in the sauce sometimes, it was shock for me. 😂😂 So I think for ppl who wasn't raised to love pasta itself its hard to keep pasta dish that simple. I mean. Not much additions and almost no sauce to make pasta the hero of the dish. 🦸‍♂️

[@sabrinacuffaro]

There are lots of options with sausage in regional cuisines

[@bakuretsutenshi3579]

Spaghetti mit Gabel und Löffel zu essen kenne ich hier eigentlich nur von älteren Generationen. Und da es wirklich sinnlos ist, ist es selbst da selten. Man kann Spaghetti genauso wie Ramen schlürfen. Ist diese Methode Spaghetti zu essen in Japan verbreitet oder hast du das von Deutschen übernommen? Dieser kulturelle Aspekt würde mich wirklich interessieren. Oh und wenn man ein Ketchup aus hauptsächlich Tomaten und wenig weiterenZutaten nimmt ist das ok, denke ich. Aber ich bin auch kein Italiener.

[@taijiskitchen]

oh, echt? in japan manche von der alten Generationen, so meine Oma/Opa haben Spaghetti wie Udon, also mit Stäbchen gegessen. aber als wir die Gabel/Löffel/Messer eingeführt haben (so in 1850-isch), haben wir die Manier dazu auch. und vermutlich von England oder Amerika, denn wir hatten mehr Beziehung mit denen und nicht so viel mit Deutschland damals.

[@southernboycookin5383]

**waits for the Italian Rage Storm** Good version of this NOT BY ANY MEANS an Italian dish!

[@taijiskitchen]

hahaha! no by no means! sorry, but it tastes good!

[@sabrinacuffaro]

@@taijiskitchen where does the name come from? In Italy we can do every type of pasta with vegetables, anyway. Ketchup is not an option, unfortunately for you 😂😅

[@mikiohirata9627]

@@sabrinacuffaro But it is in JAPAN !!! It's an adaptation by the ppl who were not able to get fresh ingredients (like tomatoes at the time). Don't knock it till you try it in case you didn't have tomatoes but ketchup in your pantry.

[@sabrinacuffaro]

@@mikiohirata9627 the taste is totally different. Fresh tomatoes are sweet and not acid like ketchup. We use ketchup only with hamburgers, fried potatoes, ecc. It's better to avoid totally ketchup and use only vegetables, or simply butter or oil and cheese instead.
