So a while back Heath Poulter on the forums here sent me some dried pork and other goodies from Asian food stores in Phoenix. I finally got around to trying out the dried pork in a ramen recipe, and it came out really well on the first try. It’s a bit light but otherwise quite good, so I think I’ll add some more ramen the next time (maybe do 1.5 ramen packages).
Ingredients for the base:
-one 3oz package of ramen, flavor packet removed
-1/2 oz freeze dried peas
-1 oz dried pork
Ingredients for the sauce:
-1/2 oz toasted sesame oil
-1/2 oz neutral oil (I used walnut but peanut would work)
-1 oz chili garlic paste
The cooking is quite simple: boil 1 cup of water, mix in base ingredients, then let sit for a while in a cozy (I have one I made for my solo pot that works well). After a few minutes, base ingredients should all be rehydrated with no water remaining. Add the sauce and eat. Yum.
All the sauce ingredients could be premixed in a 2 oz bottle, or vacuum sealed in an individual use packet (I tried that with olive oil and it worked pretty well, you just have to put it in the freezer to thicken it up before sealing).
