Korean Shin Ramyun Kujiari style Ramen with Beef

Korean Kujirai style Ramen noodles with Beef.

The Best Ramen

I have always been a big fan of noodles and I have always loved Ramen. I don’t usually eat them with the soup, though. I’ve always cooked my ramen, drained the broth and eaten my noodles dry with a dash of soy sauce. I think that’s why I love this recipe so much. This Kujirai style Ramyun is a Korean ramen recipe that is derived from a comic book. It is cooked with a smaller portion of water and reduced until it’s practically gone. Then you just add a few more fresh ingredients over the top and, literally within minutes, its done.

It’s hard to find anything about this recipe and where it actually originates from. I mentioned that it supposedly comes from a comic book but, as far as I can tell, it isn’t the kind you might be thinking of, with super heroes and such. No, I can’t be certain but I think it comes from the comic style cook book, “Let’s Make Ramen” by Hugh Amano and Sarah Becan. I haven’t finished reading it yet but this book illustrates a fun story and the history of Ramen working it’s way through time. So, if I’m wrong about the origins of this recipe, I still highly recommend this book because I think most Americans and many other cultures are completely ignorant to this perfected art.

Oolong Chilean Sea Bass

Oolong Tea Sea Bass.

The best Sea Bass ever

If you like fish, then you’re going to love this Oolong Chilean Sea Bass recipe. It’s one of my all time favorite seafood entree’s, on the menu at P.F. Chang’s China Bistro, and it’s quite popular for obvious reasons. Sea Bass is a white fish that comes from the southern ocean waters near Antarctica. For this recipe, small portioned fillets, 6 to 8 ounces, are cut and marinated in an Oolong Tea marinade that sets this dish off, when it’s prepared. The fish can be broiled or pan seared and it’s usually served with fresh spinach and a caramelized glaze of the marinade sauce.

Sea Bass Marinade

The secret to the deep flavor in this Oolong Chilean Sea Bass recipe is in the name, which is in the marinade. A concentrated level of Oolong Tea penetrates the fish, with several other Asian ingredients, and marinates or Brine’s the fish to it’s full flavor and potential. If cooked right, Sea Bass is a very moist, tender and flaky fish and once it’s absorbed all of the ingredients, it turns a rich golden brown that brightens when it’s broiled or pan fried, like I show you in the video tutorial down below. The left over marinade can then be used and reduced in a pan to create steam to cook the fish, spinach and a sauce to top the bass, once it’s been plated.

Spicy Noodles

The Best Spicy Noodles

If you love Spicy Noodles, you’re in for a real treat.  I’ve created a fusion recipe by combining both Italian and Asian ingredients.  It’s sweet, spicy and only takes about 15 minutes to prepare and cook, from beginning to end.  It isn’t time consuming and the results are tremendously delicious.  Plus you can add Chicken, shrimp or more vegetables if you would like to make it an entire meal.  It’s totally up to you and your creative control.

Spicy Noodles, Italian or Asian pasta

For this Spicy Noodles recipe, I used Angel Hair pasta but you’re going to have to go with your gut on this one or just use what ever you have.  I’ve made this successfully with Fettuccine and Ramen noodles.  So, that’s going to be up to you.  In the past I have professed, religiously, that it’s a cardinal sin using Italian pasta to make Chinese recipes like Chow Mein or Lo Mein.  But, since this is a fusion recipe, those commandments don’t apply.  The secrets to cooking your pasta, to attain the correct texture, is explained in my video tutorial.

More Asian noodle recipes I’ve posted include my Garlic Noodle, Restaurant style Chicken Chow Mein, Eastern Chow Mein, Vegetable Lo Mein with Ramen, Rice Noodles(soft or fried), How to make Pasta or Egg Noodles and a whole slew of Italian pasta recipes, too.  All of which have the correct Asian Noodles or Italian pasta for each one.  So, look into those if you want more options.

Spicy Noodles Sauce and Ingredients

The Sauce for this Spicy Noodles recipe is very straight forward and simple because I just combine 3 pre-made bottles of sauce; ketchup, sweet chili sauce and sriracha.  Originally Spicy Sauce only contains the ketchup and sriracha, if you want to try it that way, but the sweet chili adds so much depth it can’t be denied.  You can add soy sauce too, if you like but it really isn’t necessary.  Even the sriracha might be a bit too much for some because there are already chili flakes in sweet chili sauce.  So, that will be up to you.  The other bottled ingredient you will need is sesame oil.  If you don’t have it, it’s okay.  This dish still tastes great with out it.  You can even add chicken broth to a bowl of Spicy noodles and eat it more like an authentic bowl of homemade Ramen noodles.

Spicy Noodles Ingredients: Serves 6 to 8

1 pkg Angel Hair or Fettuccine pasta
1/2 gal Boiled Water

1/2 tsp Ginger, grated or chopped
2 Cloves Garlic, chopped
2 Green Onions, chopped
5 Fresh Basil leaves, chopped

Sauce
1/2 cup Ketchup
1/2 cup Sweet Chili Sauce
1 tbsp Sriracha, optional

1 tsp Sesame Oil

If you want to add chicken or shrimp to this recipe, I recommend seasoning it first with salt, pepper and smoked paprika and you want to use red onion instead of green.  Cook the meat with the garlic and ginger first, then add the red onion and noodles and proceed with the recipe as I have instructed in the Spicy Noodles video tutorial.
