So we was grocery shopping and I had the sudden idea to try my hand at a pho or ramen. Now that I have ramen I looked up a recipe and it seems really easy to make from scratch. 
 
I was short on some ingredients and the wife really fought against ox tail (probably a good thing since it was $10 for 2) 
 
I got the lil sirloins thinking I could cut them up thin but after I got home I had the idea to use my left over carnita meat. Maybe fry it up in some bacon grease tomorrow night with a little bit soy and garlic chili sauce. 
 
simmer the store bought broth with some ginger, soy sauce and maybe a handful of the pork for a little flavor. 
 
I got bean sprouts, those thin mushrooms, green onion, spinach ,ginger... not sure what else I could use in it. I forgot bok choy though :(
 
 
Looking forward to seeing this!!.... all the ingredients for a killer bowl of noodles!!
 
Soy tare
 
1 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup sake
1 T Mirin
1/2oz ginger crushed
1 scallion chopped
1 clove garlic peeled and crushed
 
Heat to boil then remove from heat, strain. 
 

 

 
Some marinade incase I make soft boiled eggs or for meats
 
1 cup water
1cup soy
1/2 cup sake
1/4 cup mirin
2 cloves garlic
2 scallions
1oz ginger
 
heat to boil then remove from heat. 
 

 
 
 
Soup base
 
I should of used stock not broth. 
 
1qt chicken broth
1qt beef broth
1qt water
2 scallions chopped
3 cloves garlic crushed
1oz ginger crushed
1/2 lb pork (pre cooked from carnitas)
 
boiled for an hour
 

 
Marinaded some pork in marinade for 20 min
 
1/4cup of the tare in each bowl
 

 
2 cups broth over that
 

 
Ramen boiled for 4 minutes and strained (next time I will make the noodles from scratch)
 

 
Divided ramen between bowls, topped with blanched spinach and bean sprouts, enoki mushrooms, shitake mushrooms, pork, and scallions. 
 

 
Serve and enjoy!
 

 


I got enough of everything to make it again this week. I'll make fresh noodles next time and maybe add a few chicken bouillons to give the broth just a little more flavor. I was expecting it to be over powering but was a little on the week side.

I picked up a 2.5lb flank steak at the market, going to make some philly cheese steaks for dinner tomorrow. Thinking roasted pablano, green bell, carmelized onions, hoagie rolls, and not sure if going to use straight provolone and parmesan or do a creamy cheese sauce
 
Making some Philly cheese steaks right now. 
 
My green pepper was moldy inside so it's pablanos I guess. Only had 2
