Another lazy afternoon…very lazy as I woke up at 3 today!! Super tired and waking up late doesn’t help with the energy level. My tummy was growling so I naturally grabbed a pack of noodles for a quick eat. It’s a beef noodle day today.
After eating the fresh version it’s really hard to
ramen noodles | Comment (0)#77 Nongshim Champong Noodle Soup
Lunch time! Feeling a little lazy on this gloomy afternoon. I started making eggs and spinach but changed my mind and grabbed a bag of comfort instead. I guess it’s Korean today!
To avoid any future heart attacks I used only half of the seasoning packet. This makes it hard to get the full experience of the noodles but wayy less sodium!
Does anyone know what champong is exactly? Does it mean seafood? Because the broth is very seafoody. Big fish flavor like anchovy and cuttlefish…and lots of garlic and red pepper. Korean noodles are always as i expect them; they’re thick and chewy. Remember to cook extra 3 minutes so it can soak up the broth.
Taipei City, Taiwan: Rice Noodles with Roasted Goose
After we put in our new year prayers at the temple we stopped for dinner at this busy little corner noodle shop. It’s one of those places that serve only one or a few things.
Taipei City, Taiwan: Arashi
Our last meal in Taiwan! Arashi Ramen…mmm mmm mmm.
Always a Line! Fortunately the patrons do like they do in Japan…they eat fast and leave! So the line wasn’t so bad. About 10 mins? So worth it.
The menu! To the left is the house special ramen which is a rich dark broth ( i think the secret is black sesame oil/paste). Middle page is their deep rich pork broth which is available in spicy flavor (that’s what I got).
Even the accoutrements on the table are tasty! These are green onions in a spicy red pepper paste. Yum yum.
Tada! My delicious bowl of ramen. I killed it! Each bite was heaven!! The broth really rich and creamy. Strong garlic flavors. Not too salty, very oily – i didnt need lip balm after this meal.
I rarely do this but I ate both pieces of the pork. That’s because the slices were paper thin and not too fatty…which I have never had before. Perfect portion size and oh so flavorful.
Noodles were on the thin side which is not my favorite but these had the perfect texture…a smidge softer than al dente. Sigh….will it be another year before I meet you again delicious ramen??!!
