Pork Ramen

Advertisements

Ramen is a classic Japanese dish that is flavorful and incredibly filling. Ramen has 3 main elements, the broth, the noodles, and the toppings. all three elements add flavor to the dish and make a bowl of ramen what it is. And though the broth and the noodles bring amazing flavor to the dish, the toppings are the real star of the show. For this bowl, I used red pepper flakes, sesame oil, and fish sauce. The red pepper flakes made this dish interesting. It started out tame in flavor, but the more that the flake got moved around the broth and dish, there was a surprise heat in some bites, while none in others. In the same way, the oils would be present in one bite, and absent in another. The rich savory toasty flavor of the sesame oil and the smooth slightly fishy flavor of the fish sauce, brought depth to the dish and great flavor. Other than that, my pork broth was a bit weak, so I added some beef bouillon and 1/2 a chicken ramen packet (as my MSG). I also used the leftover homemade noodles I had posted about yesterday. Since they were already cooked from then, i simply had to boil them for 3 minutes to heat up, then I strained them and plated. This recipe makes 3 large bowls of Ramen, and it heats up well the next day.

Strain off the water and just cover the bones with water and simmer for 4 hours covered. Reserve the broth and discard the bones. Save any meat that may have stuck to the bones and add to the broth. Store in fridge covered or use immediately.

2. Begin by cooking the pork chops in a large skillet. Cook 3 minutes per side, remove from pan, and cut into strips to top the ramen. Fill a large sauce pan 3/4 with water. Place over medium high heat to boil. Add the broth to the hot skillet, and add in the onion, garlic, and optional beef bouillon and MSG.

Sausage Breakfast Stir-Fry

Advertisements

This sausage stir-fry can is great as a breakfast or as a dinner. First cook your beef or pork sausage until fully cooked. You can use either mild or spicy sausage depending on your preferences. I used pork, so I didn’t have to add any additional oil while cooking, but if you are using a leaner beef sausage, you will need some oil by the time you reach adding your rice. Otherwise everything else is as the recipe states. When I was stirring the egg, the rice did slide over crowding the eggs, but it can easily be pushed back to the side. It also only took a few seconds to fully cook the eggs, so once the eggs are added, dinner is practically ready! This recipe made 4 Adult sized portions.

Orange Chicken

Advertisements

Orange chicken is a great use for any oranges you may get. Savory and acidic and full of flavor, this orange sauce is delicious and makes this dish exciting. If you like heat, feel free to add some chilies, red pepper flakes, or hot sauce. But even without added spice, this dish is full of strong Asian spices. I only diced up one chicken breast when I made this recipe, but you can easily coat two breasts with the sauce that is made. The recipe below makes 6 adult servings if you plate more rice than chicken. If you want the opposite, it would only give about 3-4 adult servings.

Venison Vegetable Teriyaki

Advertisements

Teriyaki is a great Asian sauce that is both sweet and savory. Like American Barbecue, Asian Teriyaki can either be a wet sauce or a cooking style, and in this case, I made and used the sauce style. I diced up extra vegetables I had, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, celery, peppers, and onions, to use as my vegetables in this dish. I also sliced venison for my meat, but slicing a steak or two will accomplish the same thing. I served this dish over rice. This recipe made 5-6 adult sized servings.

Teriyaki Pork Butt Steak with Asian Noodles

Advertisements

This teriyaki sauce is absolutely delicious! This sauce is a great mix of sweet and savory, and would go great as a glazing for any fish, chicken, or pork. The pork is delicious and of course the main part of the dish, however, the real star of this dish is the Asian noodles. The noodles are filling, the onion adds a great subtle flavor to the dish, and the cabbage adds great texture, and while the flavor of the pepper is also subtle, the color it brings to the side is delicious! For this recipe, I used the second half of the pork steak I had from yesterday’s post, peanut pork curry. That gave us enough pork for 3 servings, however with how much pasta I made, we had 5 serving total. The pasta was also great on it’s own, and if you were to serve this for a big family, I would recommend cubing the pork, then tossing into the noodles. This recipe can easily make enough to serve 5 adults.
