Hot weather dinner - homemade kimbap!
Not the most pretty or consistent, but very tasty.

Looks delicious! I tend to use a mandolin to slice the potato which speeds up the frying time. I'm on team #no_onion in the tortilla wars.

Get out.

Wow, that looks great. How did you cook the duck breast?

Thanks, tasted fab..

Cut duck breast(s) in diagonal strips skin side down, don’t cut through all the way, because you need to pan fry all in tact.

Lightly grind crushed chillies in a pestle and mortar, mix in a shallow dish with the Chinese five-spice powder, honey drizzle, pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Put the duck breast(a) skin-side down on the spices. Cover with a plate and weigh down. Set aside for 10 minutes. Drain off blood and excess marinade. Then pan fry in wok rotate a couple of times to seal the meat

This was my first attempt with the broth. It was okay had to dilute it though. I didn’t stir fry the veg (pak choi, purple spring onions, carrot, mini sweetcorn, broccoli, sugar snap peas, red cabbage) just blanched for 30 secs. The ramen bowl is perfect for building up.

Build order
Cooked noodles
Broth
Blanched rainbow veg / peas
Duck breast sliced
Split boiled egg to finish
red chill garnish

Took 20 minutes

Sounds amazing, making my mouth water reading that!!

I’ve been so disappointed with ramen dishes dining out at places like Wagamama recently.. decided to just attempt at home.

Still looking for a decent Tonkotsu broth for home made ramen, the holy grail is ShoRyu

Beef ribs marinading for tomorrow. Soy, demerera, onion, garlic, apple (which I minced in the garlic press, took ages) and some dried chillis.
Hopefully turns out ok

If you have a cast iron griddle pan, I highly recommend a traditional bamboo wok brush. Haven’t used it on the wok yet but it’s perfect for cast iron. A pushing action take off all the food bits while leaving the seasoning intact.

Smash burger tacos made with supermarket meatballs. Message ends.

당신이 걱정하기 때문에

It's Spanish Okonomiyaki

I like this ramen soup stock from Japan Centre for home ramens but I'm no expert!

It’s been a minute since I cooked a pork belly but good to see I’ve not lost the touch.

Popped out for some lunchtime tantuni

That reminds me, you don’t really see much white dog shit on the pavement any more.

Where 'dis?

Durak Tantuni on West Green Road.

@Soul I reckon there's every chance that a return to white dog shit could end up being the sole Brexit dividend.

I guess it’s because of all the sunlit uplands.

Nice! Do they use cotton seed oil?

I know this will make a lot of folk cry, but bear with me...

Does anyone have a recommendation for store bought katsu sauce?

I got some powdered stuff once that has been better than all the other branded ones, but can't for the life of me remember where I got it.

Cheers.
