Pork Chop Ramen

trip150

Made some ramen the other day.  started with some pork chops from Costco, marinated for 24 hrs in a char siu sauce (brown sugar, soy, five spice, sliced ginger, pepper, hoisin, garlic, and some red food coloring).  



Tossed on the egg for about 20min at 300* direct until they hit 150*.  Glass of Laphroaig to pass the time. 





While the chops were cooking I organized the toppings prepped the night before - mushrooms, sprouts, green onion, carrot, jalapeño, smoked oysters, lime, homemade sriracha sauce, and some marinated soft boiled eggs from the day before.  



Diced up the pork chops and prepped the bowls.  Ended up tasting great, but I wish I had not taken the short cut with boxed premade  ramen broth and had made my own.  Also, PSA - day 3 ramen marinated egg leftovers are NOT recommended, eat fresh after slicing 🥴.  Cheers!

Your ramen mise en place game is strong. Looks awesome!

Homemade broth most definitely wins. Deeper flavors, better mouthfeel, less salt than store bought broth.

That looks awesome.  I occasionally eat Ramen out, but do eat a lot of Pho.  Everytime I think of making it from home, I get turned off by the amount of work.

I've also looked at the "pre-made" stock for Pho in the store, but it ends up being the same price, per quantity, as if I just got a fully dressed bowl in the restaurant! 

Only picture you're missing is a fully assembled bowl, with the stock!
