Yeah you got to be willing to kind of mix and match. I bought some odds and ends here and there of other coatings just to try them out if they looked interesting, and a lot of the times it might be 10 or 20 bucks. It's pretty random on what they have though, but deals can be found on some quality stuff.
I'm addicted to it right now. I might die from Mercury poisoning
Based on what you've posted about your lifestyle it seems much more likely you'd die from Venus poisoning.

hey man, what starch do you use for Karage? I was thinking about making something this weekend and I know you posted some suggestions or a recipe but I couldn't find it trying to go back pages. Wanted to say it was from a guy that was doing sushi stuff, but that may have been tempura. 
i mix ap and potato starch
Speaking of which I have that whole week of making sushi and once I get the rice down, it was pretty good and I'm going to make more this weekend. Was my birthday earlier this week and for something reason I wanted to make more Japanese food, but the stupid grocery store had to shut down their seafood and meet market area due to renovations or something, so I'm trying to improvise.
I'll put a post together at some point with my sushi adventures and where I fucked up, but also what turned out great. There's definitely a learning curve and it's not something I've ever done before, but maybe that's why I want to make more of it because it's just of fun and tasty.
Want to get good at so I'll be able to make it whenever I'm in the mood.
Thank you for the information that you provided when I was going on that cooking adventure, it really helped, especially with the brand of rice. Once I got it dialed in it was amazing.
So what on earth is tapioca starch used for? I swear it's for some sort of fried Asian protein. I was thinking it was maybe that or is it supplemental?
boba tea and gluten free (i made a few things for a gluten free bitch in topeka)
Is it Korean fried Chicken that some recipes have tapioca flour? There's something out there recipe wise that I watched within the past year. Maybe it's just using it in a blend with whatever the hell else.
kfc is usually potato + cornstarch or potato + cake flour
Do you know the difference between Japanese rice and American rice? If not, it's probably not going to be worth it to you.
It's been so long since I've had rice from a whitey cooker, that I can't really give a comparison. I remember that I was always annoyed by the splatter that comes out of the little vent hole in the lid though.
