🤣  I love that you remember that!

 

I got my Ramen a while back.  I was dying to use it last night, but I need someone to translate the directions 🤣

 

The noodles are all in one package, but the others are in separate packages sooooo...I was confused lol.

I certainly didn't want to screw up the best most expensive Ramen ever 😬

if it's anything like some of the Japanese noodles I can get here, each bundle is tied with some kind of ribbon - probably located beneath the colorful part of the cellophane wrapper just to make sure you can't see it!

Duvel to the rescue ✊

 

Take 450 mL of water and bring to a boil in a pot (not a pan).

 

Add the ramen. Boil for 2 min for “hard”, 2.5 min for “al dente” and as long as you want for “soft” (not recommended). 

 

Remove from heat. Add the soup package (the bigger of the two packs) directly to the water. Stir.

 

Garnish as you like.

 

Sprinkle on the spicy package (half a pack for medium spicy, one pack for spicy, two packs for very spicy). I recommend to start without or with a quarter pack to being able to enjoy the soup flavor).

 

Enjoy 🤗

OMG you're right!  Brilliant!  I didn't want to open the package but I can see now that they are in bundles of 5 which matches the amount of the other packets.

""   empty thought bubble  ""

 

my exact concernes !

 

was it the Pot ?  expletives deleted in # 1

 

in # 2  , I take it that the bubble comes from some

 

Nori ?

 

so I take it that both the Pot and the Nori 

 

have things to say that can't be put on the back of

 

Noodles ?

Cavatappi with roasted garlic and roasted butternut squash sauce.  I pureed everything until it was very smooth and then added in some parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, lots of cracked black pepper, and thyme.  I topped it with crispy bacon and chives.  I guess it kind of looks like macaroni and cheese, but it's not.   Any kid expecting Kraft dinner would be mad 😂

Big pot of Rancho Gordo black bean soup.  Sour cream would have been nice, but I don't seem to have any.

Shelby – mmmmm – French dip!  One of my favorite sandwiches.  If it’s on a menu, I’m almost sure to order it.  Yours looks wonderful.

 

Last night I managed to make a salad:

And we ordered a pizza:

 1-IMG_1418.thumb.jpg.4fd8942889db2df97fde2e4986668036.jpg

 

Tonight, we went on a COVID-responsible Xmas light tour.  We stayed in our car and got food through the drive-thru at Hardee’s, of all places. We drove out to a small town that Jessica and I especially wanted Mr. Kim to see, and the options were either Hardee’s or McDonalds.  I haven’t been to a Hardee’s in years – the last time was when the car behind me in the drive-thru blew up.  Seriously – there was a huge explosion, my car rocked, and when I looked in the rearview mirror the hood of the car behind me was wrenched up and steam was pouring out.  It seemed like a bad omen, and I haven’t been back since.  We might have to change that.  It could have been our appetites finally starting to return and a bit of toast-fatigue, but it was all really good.  Mr. Kim and Jessica had big, juicy bacon cheeseburgers and fries and I had really good, crispy chicken tenders and slaw.  We’ll see when we return to normal, I guess!

Doing some tests that need avoidance to red meat for a few days:

MaPo Tofu with ground pork for hubby, and I had spicy eggplant and tofu for me. I used to combine the two, but was told that MaPo Tofu does not have eggplant 😆 Had some mint that needed using up and I loved it with the Toban sauce.

 

                                                                                     1261477744_MaPoTofuEggplant9565.jpg.5ae29c57e69c18d80afaf16ff37a38ac.jpg

 

Steamed Pickerel Fillets with ginger and green onion:

 

                                                                                     747776692_SteamedPickerel9549.jpg.582d64c5786c82f92ddc79fc424a8f3c.jpg
 

Eaten with stir-fried mung bean sprouts and rice:

 

                                                                                                     1505887538_MungBeanSprouts9550.jpg.b11b78e40d109c303dd7385cbc75c75a.jpg

 

Steamed chicken with Shitaki mushrooms and Chinese sausage. I ate the chicken and pea shoots with rice

Tonight, Citrus marinated roast chicken and bay taters:

                                                                                                               I'll be having a big steak in a couple of days!

And Roquefort salé, St. Felicien, Munsfer and St. Maure from the legendary Maison Lorho. Some Chimay from my Antwerp trip thrown in for good measure.

@Duvel I agree with both of you - I've had Paul stuff several times, but always in the airport and have been impressed with the quality - especially in the airport!  But it is really the only option there so that's not saying much.  I do still dream about a small boulangerie in Beaune where we got an amazing epis de ble (no knife required) to have with some local Epoisses...

Our reve was a boulangerie in the village of Bievre, southwest of Paris.    An antique tool faire.   Cold.   Stood in line until I reached the counter and ordered a jambon-fromage.   The ample woman behind the counter called out, "Marrrrie!   Un jambon-fromage!"   The baguette was ethereal, the ham correct and the cheese perfect.    The next year, "Marrrrrie" seemed to have left, the sandwich okay but not more, and the next year the place was closed.    Sometimes you can't go home again.
