An Umami-Packed Twist on Elotes
Mayo, meet XO No Images? Click here XOtes (Grilled Mexican Street Corn With XO Sauce) For a riff on classic elotes (grilled Mexican street corn), fold XO sauce into the traditional mix of mayonnaise, crema, and salty Cotija cheese, before slathering it all over lightly charred ears of fresh, sweet corn. The spicy, sweet, and savory punch of XO gives the corn an umami boost, as well as textural contrast, with the chewy crunch of the XO's seafood and ham complementing the juicy pop of the corn kernels. The Kitchen Essential Charcoal Grill Cooking shucked ears of corn on a hot grill brings out the corn's nutty flavor and chars the kernels slightly, balancing its natural sweetness.

For Ramen Geeks Only: How to Make Low-Hydration Noodles at Home
Consider this Noodle 201 No Images? Click here 38%-Hydration, Whole Wheat Homemade Ramen Noodles This recipe is a more advanced version of our original homemade ramen noodle recipe. If this is your first time making alkaline noodles at home using a pasta machine, please use the first recipe instead. The difference between this recipe and the previous one is that it makes a drier dough, which is, consequently, much more difficult to work with. Aside from the high-protein bread flour, vital wheat gluten, and baked baking soda called for in the previous recipe, this recipe also requires potassium carbonate, which you can buy online. These noodles can feasibly be used with most any ramen broth recipe. The thickness of the final noodle is up to you. Consider this Noodle 201. If you want to got to Noodle 202, try your hand at the 35% hydration version. The Kitchen Essential Jeweler's Scale We strongly recommend using a jeweler's scale to measure out the quantities of the salts and the vital wheat gluten to make sure they are accurate. In case you missed Ramen 101 |
