    Pork Belly Ramen and Baseball?

    Always in search of the perfect baseball food. Stadiums have made it ok to really eat just about anything at a ballgame. While researching for the podcast and upcoming drafts, I made a bowl of ramen. I made a huge batch of broth a few days ago and reheat the broth to create the base. The link to the broth recipe is here:



    It includes:

    • kombu

    • dried shitake mushrooms

    • roasted pork bones

    • chicken thighs

    • bacon

    • onion

    • green onion

    • carrot

    I promise if you follow the recipe for the broth, you will be floored. Also made pork belly.


    Cure the pork belly over night with equal parts salt and sugar. Place in pan and bake at 450° for one hour, basting with its own fat. Turn oven down to 250° for another hour or until belly is done. Tent with foil for 15 minutes, slice, and serve with broth.


    I also take the shitakes from the broth, slice, and saute them in ginger, soy, mirin, sugar and broth as the recipe says. Store these in the fridge and use for every bowl of ramen.


    So...for today's study session I added the following to my ramen broth and noodles:


    • soy

    • mirin

    • sesame oil

    • chili oil

    • tofu

    • seaweed

    • sesame seeds

    • cooked bean sprouts

    • corn

    • shitakes (heated in the broth)

    • green onion

    • pork belly (heated in the broth)

    • soft boiled eggs (7 minutes flat in boiling water, immediately placed in ice cold water)

    Incredible meal to have while reading about why Ronald Acuna Jr. is going to have a monster season!
