Shoyu Ramen

Preparation time : aprox 3 - 4 hours

Ok, I need to admit that I never made a successful soup noodle before. But somehow this dish came out much better that I expected.

Ingredients are

-Ramen noodle. I used fresh noodle so it's more chewy.

- 1lb Pork belly

- 1 Green onion

- 4 cloves of Garlic

- Ginger

- 1 sheet of dry seaweed

- 2 cups of Chicken Broth

- 1 cup of water

- 1/4 cup Soy sauce for braised pork another 1/4 for soup (I used Kikkoman)

- 1/4 cup of Mirin

- Sugar/ Splenda

- 1 or 2 Egg(s)

- Cabbage (optional)

There are 2 parts for this dish: Braised pork belly and Shoyu soup.

Brailed pork belly:

Before you start, if you want, you can remove the skin and scrape out the fat to be used for a soup.

- Mix garlic, ginger (about 4 big slices), 1/4 cup of soy sauce, Mirin, and probably 2 table spoon of sugar. Add 1 cup of hot water and mix together, then put the pork into the mixture. Make sure the pork are at least 3/4 submerge.

- Preheat the oven to 275F. Close the pork bowl and let it sit in the oven for 3 -4 hours. Turn the pork over probably every hour.

                  Pork is ready

The meat should be very tender.

 Shoyu soup:

- Mix 1/4 soy sauce, 2 cups of broth, 1 cup of water in a pot. Also as an option, you can breaks all the fat from the pork and mix into this soup. Heat until it boils and put on warm heat.

adding pork fat in here

Now to get a nice boiled egg with runny yolk, put the egg into the pot on high heat. When the water start boiling, leave it there for another 5 - 6 minutes then remove the egg and cool down with cold water.

Assuming the pork is ready, boil the noodle for 2 minutes, veggies for 1 minute then put everything in to the bowl and finish with a Shoyu soup. Top with sesame seeds, chopped green onion and seaweed if you like.

and then we are done. OMG YUM!

Korean Spicy BBQ Pork (Pork bulgogi)

This is my first time making a korean BBQ bulgogi. One of my favorite korean dishes that I always order whenever we go to a korean restaurants. It's easier to make than I thought especially when you can just get a marinating sauce from a Korean supermarket.


What you need:
- Bulgogi sauce (to marinate the meat unless you want to make the sauce yourself)
- White onion
- 1lbs pork (I am using loin part)
- Green onion (optional)
- Sesame seed (optional)
- Mushroom (optional)


You start of by slicing the pork to thin layers (you can also buy the pre-sliced ones).

Then marinate them with the sauce for 1 - 8 hour.

Here's the sauce I am using.

 Chop onions and mushroom like in the picture below.

On high heat, put some vegetable oil or sesame oil and marinated pork. Let it sit until cooked through. If you like, add little sugar in.

Put in mushroom and onion, stir and let it cook on high heat until the pork started to burn on the side. Make sure not to cook onion too much coz it'll become saggy.

This is ready.

Here you can top with sesame seed and chopped green onion... and we are done. OMG YUM!

Garlic Pepper Pork

Okay, it's been a while that I haven't updated this blog. Been busy with  a few projects and other changes. Anyway, this dish is probably one of the easiest dish to make.

Here's what you'll need:
- Garlic (of course)
- Pepper (of course)
- sliced pork

- Dark soy sauce (optional)
- Oyster sauce (optional)
- Fish or soy sauce
- Sugar
- Pan
- Kitchen :)

To make this dish, first add garlic into the pan with medium heat. Let it sit until golden brown.

Dump all the pork and Oyster sauce. 

Now if you want the pork to be a bit darker, you can add dark soy sauce here (very tiny bit), and stir until cooked.

Add Pepper and stir a bit then we are done. OMG YUM!
