So lets talk ramen for a moment!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramenand here is how I make the ramen that I talked about here:
http://real-man-truckworks-and-survival.com/index.php?topic=3358.0 and let me be clear, I did not use anything that came from a pkg of instant nothing/anything!
main Ingredients
1. ramen broth
2. cooked meat of some kind (I like my smoked and shredded chicken or my smoked pulled pork best)
3. ramen noodles
optional ingredients
1. green onions (scallions)
2. bean sprouts
3. jalapeños
4. fine julienned carrots
5. mushrooms
6. red and/or green bell peppers
7. etc
Directions:
1. bring broth to a boil
2. put ramen noodles in to boiling broth and cook to your desired doneness
3. once noodles are about 2/3 done add meat
4. depending on how crunchy you like your optional ingredients…..add accordingly
5. remove from stove and put in a bowl, garnish with optional ingredients and serve
This is just a basic baseline of how to make ramen (other than that instant crap). Tinker accordingly.
- I also like to add a little homemade potsticker dipping sauce to my broth along with a little american cheese (the stuff in the squirt can….yummy)
Homemade pot sticker/dumpling dipping sauce ingredients:
1. extra hot szechuan sauce
2. hoisin sauce
3. soy sauce
4. seasoned rice vinegar
5. sambal
6. siracha sauce
I don’t really measure these ingredients, I just do a little dab here, a little shake there, maybe a little squirt of this or that….etc.
