Welcome to Cooking with Jordan! Thanks for viewing my blog today!
So today I would like to teach y'all how to make 2 types of fancy ramen!
To start off we are gonna make bacon and egg breakfast!
(makes 1 serving)
- 1 package of ramen
- 1 large egg
- 1 slice of thick-sliced bacon
- 1/2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1/2 packet of soup base
- 1 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup water
- 1 tsp Korean chili paste
- a drizzle of sesame oil
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 1/4 sheet of nori, thinly sliced
Place egg in a medium pot with 3 cups of water and bring to boil over medium heat. Cook egg to desired consistency and remove from water using a slotted spoon. Place into an ice bath, peel and set aside until ready to serve. Be sure to reserve the cooking water to prepare the noodles.
I cook my egg for about 6 minutes for a nice runny yolk.
Cook the bacon in the skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until just browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel and set aside.
In a small pot, add the chicken broth, a few pieces of sliced tomato, water, chili paste and 1/2 of the flavor packet, and bring to a gentle simmer for 5-7 minutes. Taste and adjust to your liking. Remove from heat.
Bring reserved cooking liquid (from the egg) to a boil. Add the noodles, separating them with chopsticks as they soften, about 3 minutes. Drain immediately and place into serving bowl. Carefully pour soup over noodles and garnish with bacon, tomato slice, scallions, nori and sesame oil. Cut the egg in half and gently place on top of noodles. Serve immediately.
The next ramen noodles we will cook are Creamy Bacon Noodles
I chopped up about 2 strips of bacon and 1/4 of a red onion and got those cooking in a pan. You shouldn’t need to add any oil as the bacon fat will render out. Once the onions are cooked down and the bacon is cooked to your liking (some people like it crispy, I actually like mine still soft), add about 1/3 cup cream.
Also, add the Ramen spice pack to the cream at this point and let it simmer on low for a few minutes. The cream will start to thicken and then you can add in your cooked, drained Ramen.
NOM! NOM! NOM! HAPPY EATING!!
