Hm, this one worked out nicely. Adding the proper amount of cheese and one egg to the potato topping makes for a nice crust. I should repeat this someday.

Types of Ramen
There’s shoyu ramen, shio ramen, miso ramen, tonkotsu ramen, so what’s this one? Dump-stuff-from-the-fridge-into-some-vague-hot-broth ramen, evidently.
Sudden Tonkatsu Cravings
…needed to be satisfied. Or is it a Schnitzel? Eh, either way, there’s something about crispy fried breaded cutlets that really tickles the comfort zone of your food brain. Hmmm… 🙂
A Skeleton, A Minotaur And A Bugbear…
…Walk into a tavern and order 2 goats, 3 kegs of beer and ask for the location of the next river. No souls were harmed in the making of this, but there were baos eaten on the side. If this doesn’t make sense to whoever reads this, neither did it as it happened.
Not Instant But Very Fast Noodles
Stuff like Pho is an elaborate fare that will keep you busy for hours on end. So this time I tried to go entirely the other way and made what essentially is a fast miso pork stir fry that I just filled with water and cooked the noodles in. Takes less than harf (*glug*) an hour and works surprisingly well.
Quesadillas
When you’re feeling like grilled cheese, but want to go really flat. You know what works shockingly well? The Tyrolean version with cabbage, Speck and Graukas.
Steak Frites
Nothing I haven’t done before, but what makes steak interesting is how you try to optimize every single bit of timing, from seasoning to letting the meat come to room temperature to preheating the pan, all to get the maximum amount of crust and even browning on the thing before it overcooks. Worked out this time.
Pork Kebabs
Mostly because I had some meat left and wanted to see how hard it is to shape those skewers. Good enough for the first try, certainly yet another rabbit hole of cookery to go down if I ever get bored.
Okonomiyaki
Oh, we still doing those big ol’ cabbage pancakes? Why yes of course, they haven’t stopped being tasty. I was too lazy though to do the decorative mayo.
Pickled Pepper Grilled Cheese
I will not get into the debate of whether this is a grilled cheese or a melt, and instead will wax philosophical about the importance of slow and even browning (with the help of plenty of butter) for a perfect cheese sandwich, and the fact that the slightly sweet and sour peppers just go really well with it.
