An experimental breakfast.
What is great for breakfast? Bacon and eggs, of course.So that's what I made. Sort of.
Bacon and egg sort of ramen. The broth is dashi with a little red miso, garlic and dried 'tribute fish'*. Crisped up some bacon, soft-boiled an egg and chopped some Welsh onion. Fresh ramen took three minutes to cook, so I threw in the pre-cooked bacon, eggs and onion when there was still a minute to go.
I really liked the bacon alongside the seafood flavors.
* Tribute fish is a direct translation of the Chinese. There are many tribute foods supposedly because they were prized gifts to be sent to the emperors. They (the fish; not the emperors) are tiny - 5cm/2 inches long at most. Nearly always sold dried. Great for adding umami.
