Spicy Smashed Cucumber

What is this?! Just a little extra effort makes a huge difference!! You’ll end up with a rich, flavorful Shin Ramyun broth that you’ll want to drink to the last drop ♡About this recipe:When I first tried Shin Ramyun, I felt like something was missing, so I experimented with a few things (lol).I usually make this for lunch on weekends when I don’t feel like cooking anything complicated (*ФωФ).

My son didn't like eating meat coated with katakuriko, so I prepared it without the coating and it was well received.Usually if you cook meat in microwave, you need some katakuriko, but you don't have to use it here. Cook the pork first, take it out to season with soy sauce and then return to the microwave again Without this procedure, the soy sauce flavour would be thinned, and the pork will toughened.

This was so refreshing and delicious! Cutting it in spirals takes some time but the result is worth it! I would definitely make a double portion next time :)

Heavenly and healthy! My favorite cucumber salad! All the taste of a traditional Thai peanut sauce without the nuts!

I was able to survive 7 years of making bentos for my children with this mix. Frozen goma-ae (cooked vegetables with sesame sauce) becomes wet by the time it thaws, and the flavors dissipate so it's no good! But making goma-ae for bento every time is a bother and you're likely to have awkward amounts left over. This sesame-sauce base is perfect for families with those kinds of problems.I'd always made this by eyeballing the ingredients, but I tried measuring things out properly this time. And what do you know - the ratio is quite easy to remember. This mixture is on the sweet side, so please use this as a starting point and adjust the amount of soy sauce and sugar. It has almost no moisture in it, so if you put it in a container with a hermetically sealed lid or a jar with a a screwtop lid, you can even store it at room temperature.

A side dish I grew up with almost with every meal. A spicy Asian side kick to go with your rice dish. Enjoy!

This is a very hot noodles with so much spice yet it’s so good that you want more! I tried to give the measures as much as I could but I usually wing it. Hope you make it and pair it with any stir fry.

The dan dan noodles at my favorite restaurant has lots of cabbage and bean sprouts in it.I love vegetables, so as I was adding more and more to my plate at the restaurant, I thought that a dan dan noodle style hotpot at home would be delicious.The 1/2 bag of bean sprouts and shredded cabbage in Step 6 is delicious cooked through, but you want to leave the crunchy texture, so just cook briefly.I added kamaboko (fish cakes) this time, but you could add atsuage as well.

I tried to recreate a dish from a pasta restaurant I used to frequent when I was working. I wonder if they still have it? It's a pasta restaurant near Kamiyacho Station on the Tokyo Metro.You could replace the soy sauce with this Shiso Garlic Soy Sauce. In that case, omit the garlic. Use whatever vegetables you like! But do include cucumber, tomato and lettuce. They really go well with the meat and sauce. For 3-4 servings. Recipe by Yukirinrin

I make these often whenever I have an excess of cucumbers. They make great bento fillers, and are super easy.Since the cucumbers are pounded, the flavors absorb easily. Recipe by adusa

I was given a lot of Korean nori seaweed as a souvenir. I added it to cucumber namul, and it was delicious.If you make this way in advance, the flavor will change, and it won't be so nice. So mix everything together right before you eat!Japanese powdered red chili pepper is very spicy, so use a tiny bit if you use it. It will be the best to use Korean red chili if possible.

I thought of a sesame sauce for ramen noodle salads and bang bang chicken.The sauce is pretty sweet, so adjust the sugar as you taste.If you plan to serve this to children, replace the sake for water as you won't burn off the alcohol. Recipe by 1630412
