        This week I did some TexMex and German cooking, i actually made some pasta too but didnt take a photo. I struggle a bit these days with finding the motivation to cook after a long and stressfull day at work but i try to keep it up for self care sake.

            That looks amazing @Alex

            Do you agree that Pappardelle is simply the lazy mans fettuccine? (But is actually preferred)

              Thanks, Jeff

              I suppose it's a little lazier, but I agree it's most definitely preferred. I also prefer wide noodles in Asian food to thinner ones

                Later this afternoon I will be making a Japanese style chicken stock so that @Giles & I can make some ramen next week. pics to follow

                  Prep done

                  Brokedown a chicken to breasts and legs - kept the wings for the stock for a bit of added flavour. Will use the skinless breasts in dinner tonight and freeze the legs

                  Cut the carcass and wings into smaller pieces to extract more flavour

                  The aromatics

                      6 hours later

                      And dinner: I shredded the chicken breasts which I poached in the stock as it was cooking down into a cold noodle salad

                        Those are some very nice looking dishes you made recently @Alex

                        We made Ramen today… well yesterday and today as it is usually quite time and labour-intensive

                        Chashu (pork shoulder, marinated in shoyu, mirin, sake, ginger, garlic, for 7 hours 100°C in the steamer)

                        Today:

                        Pork/chicken fat+ tarre

                        Noodles

                        Eggs marinated for 24 hours, menma, spinach, shiitake, spring onions, 12 hour chicken broth

                        …and ready

                        God has blessed you richly, so get down on your knees and thank him. Don’t forget the less fortunate or God will personally kick your ass. I’d love to do it for him, but I can’t be everywhere. Willie Nelson
