More ramen, this time tried the two main types - Shouyu ramen (the clear) and Miso ramen (the cloudy one). Like the Shoyu more, however haven't found a low-sugar replacement for the Mirin yet.

Both use the same soup which has:

• shiitake mushrooms
• Holy Thai basil from hydroponics
• Stock from pork bones that were 2 hours on pressure cook (You can see them frozen)
• black mushrooms
• pork for topping

Sabich!
We made matbukha so it made sense to make Sabich out of it: eggplant, egg, and Tahiti on top of matbukha and challah bread. Its also took a while to find this amazing tahini brand.

Its usually served in Pita bread, this was a nice twist.

Steak, entrecôte, not sure which part, we found this place that has amazing meat. And we are getting better making them.
Sensitive (Sept 24 2020)

So I built a stove top smoker based on this video.
Internal and ambient probe.

Drilled a hole in to a stainless steel bowl for a knob I 3d printed, and another for the probes to go on.
The Wok did not take damage but will look for a dedicated one for long term so it won't accumulate.

It won't do a 7kg brisket cunk of meat, but it does work great for 2kg salmon.
Used traeger pellets for the smoke.

Produced about the same amount of smoke as searing steaks on a pan.

Salmon at 90-100C Internal temp at 64-66. Came out great.

First attempt at Ramen

#. Pork bones on pressure cook for 2 hours
#. Sous vide beef neck for two days
#. Holy Thai basil from the hydroponics
#. Fish balls
#. Black mushrooms
#. Shiitake mushrooms
#. Mirin and soy

Probably there is more to improve, would love input

Got a Traeger pellet smoker on loan to try it out. Newbie, short ribs first test. Any tips? (Dec 30 2020)
Actual - Temp should be around 100-110. Give it 3, the wrap in tin foil for another 6.
