久しぶり!
Long time no see!
I had too much seafood in my freezer. There was some shrimp. Some fish balls. Chicken stock, too. And there was some ramen. I guess I'm making seafood ramen for dinner!
It was to be my own recipe. Maybe I should open a ramenya.
Started off with onions and garlic sautéing in EVOO with a pinch of salt, some ground pepper, and some red chili flakes. I was gonna make the tare like a clam sauce. When the garlic and onions were browning after 10 minutes in went a can of chopped clams. Reserve the juice for later.
I let that cook while I got water boiling for the ramen.
Oh. I also bought some scallops. It was my first time to make fried scallops. Over medium heat, with EVOO and some butter, fried them up. It's really easy to mess up scallops. I think I burned one. But I tried to get them off the pan so they don't dry out. Maybe 3 minutes a side. Even if they weren't cooked through I expected them to get a bit cooked when they sit in the broth.
To the clam tare I added a quart of my chicken stock. Brought that to a boil and then added some fish balls and the reserved clam juice. I have no idea what type was in this. They were bought at H-Mart in January. They need to be used.
I made a mistake with the noodles. I did not defrost them enough so that as I cooked them I had to do them for longer because they were somewhat frozen together.
First the noodles. A good base I started with some shrimp paste. In went the noodles. Then dumped the broth in. Almost spilled out the bowl. Added the scallops and the shrimp. Done.
It was nice. Lots to eat. And fishy. I still have shrimp and fish balls and I didn't use all the clam tare. Maybe more ramen soon. Except I'm out of noodles!
