Gluten Free Pork Ramen
I don’t know about you guys but I love myself a good bowl of ramen. It’s one of my favorite dishes hands down. I love that while it has traditional elements it’s a little different everywhere you eat it and it really can be anything you want it to be but at it’s core it’s a big bowl of hot soupy noodles and who does’t love that?
A few years back I had the opportunity to travel a ton and got to hit 3 major cities in 6 months and ate ramen in every one of them. The best bowl of ramen is something I’m continually on the search for and I crave. So needless to say being quarantined for 2 months got those cravings running at an all time high so I decided to tackle this one for myself and I have to say it wasn’t half bad.
I don’t measure when I cook typically so the recipe below is a rough guestimate of what went in my bowl. Again though, ramen is whatever you want to make it. At the core: a good broth, some tasty meat, a rainbow of veggies, some tasty seasoning, and a perfectly cooked egg, and your good to go.
