thats cool, they usually have a 4pack for under a buck each. The same company (nongshim) makes a decent pho bowl. I'm not saying i'd die for it but the pho broth is as good as i can make at home, and i suck at it. (i'd have to travel over a hour to get good pho otherwise)

Made this last night to get rid of some stuff in my fridge. It was actually delicious. I would say use less soy sauce and no sugar though. I also used a spring mix and not bok choy. Do not be deterred by the odd, "dressing."

I also bought some black bean spaghetti noodles in an effort to find some more good traditional noodle alternatives. Trying them out today.

Yup. I've been enjoying both kinds for a few years now. Been getting back into ramen with my new calorie counting stuff since it's pretty low on calories and very filling. Will probably have to look into flavoring alternatives when I start looking at lower salt options in a few months. Glucose and weight first.

whelp, a new years resolution was to try baking (i hate baking the most)
my two targeted projects is fucking makin me some ny pizza, i ate about 2 pies worth going back home just to shock my shitty kansas taste buds back alive.
research has steered me towards
I got a pizza peel(wood so i can cut the pie on it too) and i have 4 balls poofing in the fridge now.
next up is japanese shokupan fluffy milk bread.
i've got serious bakers telling me to get some red star yeast, anything else?

I tried that Chef John recipe in my air fryer. I don't know why I continue to be surprised by the air fryer's ability to mimic frying. And it doesn't leave the home smelling like a fast food restaurant. And the cleanup is much easier.

I went on a quick service call this week, and it was right next to one of our local Asian groceries. And as we drove past it, I was thinking the same thing: I've been past this place 100 times, and I've literally never set foot in it. I was thinking "I wonder if
Lanx
has been to this one". He probably has been. For some reason I seem to remember someone (here or IRL) saying that there are better asian groceries here.Chinatown Food Market - Rivermarket - Kansas City, MO
I don't cook on the level that I'd need to get legit ingredients from a place like that. But noodles...that might be worth a trip somewhere.
I probably just need to print out Lanx' list and go shopping.

That one i haven't seen, cuz it's too far from overland park, cuz thats where the koreans/asians are clustered. I've seen pics of it, it's a legit asian grocer, i'd say it's more "west coast asian", meaning you'll see more cali-asian products, not like that matters to anyone here, that is super asian grocer meta.I went on a quick service call this week, and it was right next to one of our local Asian groceries.

Not sure yet still going. It started at 4.13 lbs. May be a couple more hours, but I’m past the temp plateau now, finally started going up again.

Ended up taking 12 hours, final weight 2.45 lbs. It is already falling apart and I haven’t even let it do the 45 minute sit around after period. Couple small pieces fell off. Tastes fantastic already, should be great tomorrow.

I forgot to mention, I picked something up the other day on the complete other end of the spectrum.top ramen/maruchan is like 15c each???
Sure i'll break it down by, categories
korean:
NongShim Shin Ramyun Noodle Soup, Gourmet Spicy, 4.2 Ounce is korean and spicy, THICK noodle, goes really well with dropped in veggies, you can also find them at walmart (i won't say grocery stores, but everyone has a walmart), probably a buck each
If you slice your beef or pork really thin on the bias you can also just throw it in like hot pot (freeze it for 30m b4 you cut you have a firmer meat to cut)
This is also gaining in popularity, it is super super spicy "fire chicken" noodles
Samyang Instant Ramen Noodles, Halal Certified, Spicy Stir-Fried Chicken Flavor (Pack of 5) at 2bucks a pack it's not bad on amazon (korean grocer will be 1 buckish)
malay/thai:
mama noodles are a decent representation of tom yum soup and noodles, hella cheap at .50c a package, spicy. Tip i'd give is to cut a shrimp or two in half or even thinner, maybe even microwave it a few seconds and throw it in the boiling soup semi raw and you have a nice soup, throw a basil on top a few onions, gtg.
jap/chinese:
Nissin Demae Ramen, Sesame Oil, 3.5 oz (30 packs) these are always going to be a staple for me, since i also grew up w/ them, they are ENTIRELY different from top ramen, even tho it's made by Nissin, it's imported and at less than a buck a package it's as good as you're gonna at a regular asian grocer, they have other flavors, if you can find the tonkatsu flavor, try that too (this is the basic flavor), for this one i like to put in raw bok choy or, i'll boil the water first, drop in some broccoli crowns for 5minutes, THEN i drop in the noodles and finish off after 3-5minutes (noodles past 5mins turn mush, thats why i put broc in first, nice good boiled broc needs 10mins), the broccoli will absorb the soup base flavor.
That should be a good starting off point, alsoTJT , does more traditional shop ramen, i think he goes to greennoodle.com for his fresh noodles. We disagree on chashu(infidel version) vs. chinese char-siu tho!
I'm a filthy redneck Midwesterner with terrible taste, and I struggled to choke this down. i don't know what compelled me to even buy it. Curiosity? Laziness? I don't even know. I just walked down that aisle in the grocery and grabbed it. I put it in my cabinet with my "too lazy to cook" stash and pulled it out the other day.
Noodles were slug levels of slimy. The sauce didn't taste remotely right. So now I had hot, slimy noodles with a thick snot-like sauce that tasted like something I found in a jar in the back of the fridge. And to top it off...it even came with its own packet of peanuts. Except the peanuts were exceptionally hard and a little rancid...the perfect garnish for this fetid abortion of a meal.
At least read the first few reviews, LOL.

This isn't my picture, but that about sums it up. I am still a little angry at myself for trying this. How bad could it be? Pretty God damned bad.

yea that company (simply asia) is garbage. I remember being stranded in va many moons ago and trying out their canned bean sprouts, holy shit it was like slimy worms.I forgot to mention, I picked something up the other day on the complete other end of the spectrum.
