Ramen Soup – Fast

As the month progresses, I find myself running at warp 9.5, with little food preparation and almost no time to eat. Add in the cold snap and all the other events this month; this is a recipe for ill-health.

Time to step back and at least get good hot food into my system. Falling back to one of my favorite meals, ramen, and looking to do a bit of cleaning in the refrigerator, I am going to whip up a hot bowl of noodle soup and hot to ingest it before my electronic leash (cell phone) beeps again.

But fair warning, I just broke down and purchased a pasta roller attachment for my stand mixer. This means in the coming days; we will see recipes and techniques for the production of fresh noodles, dumpling wrappers, and many more “pasta” inclusive dishes.

Notes

A quick and dirty ramen noodle soup, really a blank canvas for cooked protein you wish to add.

Cooked proteins I have used:

• Cooked, shelled shrimp.
• Shredded Char Su pork
• Crispy Tofu cubes

As with many things, the perfect refrigerator velcro to integrate leftovers into a quick meal.
