        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

                                    Ottolenghi is amazing. Cake looks great and sounds divine.
