Have you ever tried a recipe that turned out to go horribly wrong, or maybe the end product, despite being good, just wasn’t worth the effort? What was that recipe, and what about it made you say “NEVER AGAIN”?
I ask this as I am actively trying to remove the stench of onions from my Instapot lid’s silicone ring after making French Onion Soup in it (so far steaming it with white vinegar on the steam setting, soaking the ring in a water/baking soda bath overnight, and baking it at 250 degrees F for 20 minutes have all done nothing, so I ordered a new one, I give up). And I realized that cutting all the onions and waiting hours for them to caramelize and now this damn smell issue just isn’t worth it. Plus I still have frozen soup in the freezer because I can only eat French Onion soup so many days in a row.
NEVER AGAIN.
Traditional ramen. I tried doing it when Covid hit and no one could go out to restaurants and I really missed ramen.
So I set out to do it. Takes two days to make. Which was ridiculous so I adapted it to be made with a slow cooker in a day so I could still enjoy it . It might not be ‘as good’ but it is way more healthier (less salt and sugar). I do that often with recipes. I’ll try the traditional way and then tweak it to be healthier cuz so many old styles are heavy on the fat, salt and sugar but also needlessly lengthy processes when we have all these new style cookers to make life easier.
Tonkotsu and similar styles take forever, but I’ve made this Dashi Ramen and in a couple hours it has turned out perfectly every time. Really tastyt too. (Donabe is just a clay pot. You can use a normal pot for this) https://happydonabelife.com/recipes/chicken-dashi-ramen/
Ooooo thank you for this. Gonna try this one
Agreed, dashi ramen is the way to go if you’re doing it at home. Still tasty and way easier.
