RAMEN WITH SOY-BRAISED PORK AND MISO BROTH

Steps:

• For the pork rib:.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat the sesame oil in a braising pan over medium-high heat until smoking. Season the pork with blackening spice, then sear it, skin-side down. When the skin begins to crackle, flip the pork and add the leeks, garlic and ginger, and cook until the leek begins to wilt. Add the vinegar, soy sauce and sugar and stir to dissolve the sugar. Cover and bake until the meat is tender, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Remove the meat from the braising pan and let cool. Slice into 1/2-inch slices.
• For the miso broth:.
• Poach the bacon in 1 quart water for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, soak the kombu in 2 quarts of water. Combine the two liquids, then using a fine-mesh cone strainer, steep the miso paste and bonito flakes into the broth. Simmer very slowly for 1 hour, still with the strainer set into it (do not boil or the broth will become murky). Remove the strainer and the kombu from the broth and keep the broth warm.
• For the ramen:.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the noodles. Cook about 7 minutes, then strain and place in a wide serving bowl.
• Add enough miso broth to the bowl to cover the noodles. Dress with 3 slices pork rib, the sprouts, pickled egg and scallions.

STEAMED TILAPIA OVER CELLOPHANE NOODLES WITH A MISO BROTH

Steps:

• Noodles -- In a small bowl, cover the cellophane noodles with hot water and let stand until soft. It will take about 5 minutes. Drain and rough chop. I like 4-5" pieces, just a couple of quick cuts. You don't have to be exact, just makes the dish easier to eat is all.
• Broth -- In a small bowl again, add the broth, oyster sauce, miso, soy, sugar and mix well.
• Bake -- Now, in deep pie pan or you can use a shallow glass casserole dish like a 9x9 baking pan, add the mushrooms and bok choy to cover the bottom. They lay the fish fillets on top of the vegetables, and then top the fish add the celophane noodles. Pour the broth over the entire dish and I like to garnish with just a little pepper.
• Steaming -- Now since I don't have a steamer basket. I set the pie plate or casserole dish in a deep skillet large enough to hold it and add 1" of water and bring to a boil. Reduce to a medium heat, cover and steam until the fish is cooked through. This will take about 15 minutes depending on the thickness of your fish.
• TIP: If you have a small metal cookie cutter or small grate, put in on the bottom of the pan with the water and set your dish on top. It allows the water to boil underneath without your dish being directly on the bottom of the pan. If not, that is ok, it just works very well.
• Serve and Garnish -- In a small cup or bowl heat up the oil in the microwave on medium just till warm. This is very classic, to lightly drizzle the fish with warm oil.
• Transfer the casserole dish or pie plate to your table and serve. The noodles and mushrooms will absorb some of the broth, but I love to serve this in a bowl with some of the extra broth for each person. Garnish with the scallions and cilantro and a drizzle of the warm oil.
• Just a nice unique way to enjoy some fresh fish in a much lighter style. I think you will enjoy it.
