      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

          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.

                                            For now I’ll just have to continue looking forward to trying your food at some future IH gathering.
