Stir-fried Pork with Basil
One of my favorite Thai dishes, and definitely the easiest to make. It's also very quick to make, provided you have a source for the basil and peppers. In restaurants this is usually called Pad Ga-Prao*, or some more or less phonetic version of that.
Salmon Pizza
Inspired by a dish from a friend's wedding. Nothing is quite as awesome as "opening up a few things and slapping them together" .
Post Ramen Lunch
After the extravaganza of the ramen making the day before (see related link for more info on that all day adventure), there was very little enthusiasm for making anything from scratch, and also a great deal of leftovers clogging up the fridge (but in a good way).
This is one of the things that I did with the extra meat & egg.
Certainly doesn't compare to some of the extravagant things seen on the internet but I think the delicious pork and the delicious soaked egg totally make up for it.
Pork Bone (Tonkotsu) Ramen
I was woefully ignorant on the realities of ramen before coming to graduate school. I honestly thought that when you asked for ramen, Oodles of Noodles and Top Ramen were what you'd get. So when Maki made "fresh" ramen (y'know, with non-dried noodles and a liquid broth concentrate) and then waxed eloquent about the stuff you can get in restaurants, it was a delicious, delicious revelation, as was the flavor - pork bone. Tucson not exactly being a destination for Japanese cuisine, there were no restaurants that served tonkotsu ramen.
Ramen Noodles
Sadly in the US they just don't sell plain ramen noodles. So rather than washing some of the 10 cent ones from the grocery store off we tried making our own.
Pork Bone (Tonkotsu) Ramen: Soy Stock
My personal favorite flavor of ramen. There's probably an easier way to do all of it but we found this recipe and online and figured if we're going to do it we should DO IT!
