Quick links: Ramen | Muffins | Hot Wings | Nigiri | Verdict
When I first saw Big Hero 6, I came out of it and said, “If I were 10 years old, that movie would be my favorite movie of all time times infinity.” I absolutely love Big Hero 6. Watching it again made me love it even more. It has to be in my top 10 favorite Disney movies of all time. One of my favorite things about it is the setting, San Fransokyo. I was excited to make some yummy Japanese foods. I was going to make some mochi, but I couldn’t get Azuki beans in time. I might make a special one-off post just for that though.

Ramen with Happy Egg
This is shown in the credits.
I have always wanted to make Ramen that wasn’t instant. Sadly, I didn’t do too well. I had to substitute some ingredients, and I must have not done well. Here’s the recipe in its unsubstituted form. Try it, see if you like it better.

Lucky Cat Nigiri
When Hiro upgrades Baymax and flies through the city, they pass a restaurant with a cat holding a piece of nigiri.
We have made sushi before, but not nigiri. I don’t enjoy nigiri as much, but it is simple and still yummy.
