Almond Biscotti: The Perfect Care-Package Cookie
The Serious Eats Guide to Pressure Cooker Ramen
Plus, homemade ramen noodles No Images? Click here Ramen, Now in Your Pressure CookerIn the past week, we've published a series of recipes to help you make ramen at home. My original goal was to develop a pressure cooker recipe for a classic chintan shoyu ramen—that is, a bowl of noodles submerged in a light, clear broth seasoned with soy sauce. I wanted the recipe to yield a braised-pork topping, but I didn't want it to require too many unusual or specialty ingredients. After a month or two of testing different recipes, I discovered that the ingredients used in the clear broth could subsequently be used to make a rich and creamy chicken ramen broth, with just a bit more time in the pressure cooker and a brief blitzing with an immersion blender. That led to the development of an entirely different recipe, for a bowl of miso tori paitan ramen. Finally, after I'd finished those two recipes, we realized that some of our readers might want to experiment with making their own noodles at home, either out of curiosity or because quality ramen noodles aren't readily available at their local supermarkets. I ended up spending several months developing a basic recipe for ramen noodles that anyone can make, so long as they have a pasta roller and a food processor or stand mixer. —Sho Spaeth, features editor Every bowl of ramen should be crafted around the best wheat-based, alkaline noodles you can get your hands on. Here's how to make them at home. A classic chintan shoyu ramen—a light broth flavored with soy sauce—made easier with the help of a pressure cooker. If you know and love tonkotsu ramen, you owe it to yourself to make your own tori paitan ramen broth at home—rich, creamy, just as tasty, and pretty simple, too. |

Hearty Korean Squash Porridge to Warm You Up All Winter Long
Your Recipe of the Day No Images? Click here Hobak Beombeok (Korean Squash, Sweet Potato, and Bean Porridge) This warming Korean porridge is a celebration of fall produce, and is loaded with winter squash, chestnuts, sweet potatoes, jujubes, and beans. The squash traditionally used is a large, old one called neulgeun hobak in Korean, but it can be difficult to find; butternut squash works well as a substitute. The porridge is delicious served hot on a winter day, but it can also be eaten at room temperature, and is equally flexible in terms of when it's eaten: it makes a great breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack. Plus, it just happens to be vegan. The Kitchen Essential Paring Knife |
