The second entry in my cooking blog, pretty exiting. You will find that this one is better organized. I thought of a recipe and purchased what I would need for it, instead of doing with whatever I have. I couldn't get Daniel for this one. He wouldn't get out of the garage but I'm sure it was important, he doesn't skip opportunities to have a prepared meal.
As usual I will suggest music for the readers. You might want to pay attention to the video as it is as much of a listening experience as it is a visual one.
First of all, ingredients:
From top to bottom: Spicy noodles, hot sauce, milk.
On my previous entry I was suggested to purchase Sriracha sauce, but the local corner store does not carry that brand, I went with Frank's Redhot instead. As for the milk, I would expect that the fat content wont change the texture of the sauce too much, as this is what it will be used for. I went for 2%.
First step, soften the noodles. I am sure it would be faster if you boil the water somehow, but hot tap water is fine too. As this part might take a while you could go lay down or sit on the balcony.
Ever since I got that rash, my arm goes numb if I lay down for too long.
So the noodles are now soft and breaking apart, next step:
Heat up a pan and add some oil
This particular brand comes with two seasoning pouches, we'll need these in a second.
Add these two and mix. Remember that this spicy seasoning is usually dissolved is water if you are making soup. It is not the case here so be careful of how much of it you use, I wasn't.
Stir fry until golden brown, the noodles will become translucent.
Turn off the heat and add the hot sauce and milk. Let simmer for a couple of minutes, maybe 2 or 3. The milk will react with the starch of the noodles and make a nice thick sauce.
Look who shows up just as the meal is ready. I swear, you are the bane of my existence Daniel.
Suggested serving: a glass of water. This is really spicy.
Umm... are the cigarettes laying everywhere supposed to be a joke? Or did you really smoke 6 cigarettes and put them out on your stove while you were cooking this?
Also, please put your damn noodles in a bowl and not the sink. That made me want to vomit just looking at the sink with noodles in it. I was like okay, that's unusual but maybe this guy is super sanitary.... then I saw that you smoke... in your house... while you cook. More flavor?
You dont need a wok for those noodles? I wanna do more with noodles and putting them on the frying pan, but I'm not sure how to go about it or really learning how to approach it.
Were you balancing one of your cigarettes on the pan while cooking, or does it just look that way? You need to get an ashtray! At least it makes this more interesting though

Is it fine from hygiene view or am I too cautious? I'm usually used to boiling water in a pot.
I'm not sure what this mean. In my area tap water is perfectly fine for consumption.

In the sink or in a bowl, I would use the same water, again please tell me what I am doing wrong. Plus, as you can see, my bowl is too small to contain the dry noodles. As for the cigarettes, I did not put any cigarettes in at any point of the recipe, therefor it did not affect the final result.

A wok? Does it cook the noodles in any different way? Or is it because it's used over a gas stove? My train of thought was pretty straight forward: I wanted to fry noodles, I didn't think of the origin of the heat or in what container it would be done in and in the end, my noodles were fry.
It's very kind of you all to be worried for my health, but I assure you: it was quite good.
I don't think you should have to worry about the tapwater, but sinks are normally considered pretty dirty. I wouldn't put food right into mine, I'd use something else instead.
I'll try sticking milk into my noodles next time, though. :p

Fair enough.
Milk and cream is a easy and tasty base for many sauces.
Also, I really like doing these, and some people like reading them but I am running out of ideas. You see, I am not a really picky eater, I don't have a very diverse diet so when it come to cooking, I am not the most creative person. Keep in mind that if it require any special cooking equipment I will most likely not be able to make it, but I would like some suggestion.
woah! world's end girlfriend! good call, you have my respect. WEG just released a remix of birthday resistance free for download and his new soundtrack album for the film Starry Starry Night comes out in about a week and a half. It's too bad you couldn't get the sirachas, I bet that would be really good.
maybe you'd like some spicy carbonara just fry bacon with creme freche + spicy sauce and mix it with fresh pasta once it's done crack an egg on top of it and voila!
it looks good, except for the noodles soaking in the sink...
i don't know about you, but i wash dishes in my sink, i dump liquid i don't want in my sink, etc. the sink is a dirty place, lol. i wouldn't dream of soaking noodles in it.
The sink is the least sanitary place in the house. I am ServSafe certified so I know what I`m talking about . (Really, dont soak noodles in the sink.) Otherwise it looks good. Keep doing these.

I feel like it may fare a little better since instant ramen is designed to be consumed as soup noodle.
I'm afraid I never did. The only fresh noodles I have ever seen sold are the thick udon noodles. While delicious I wouldn't pan fry them. (or maybe I should?!... I'll reflect on that.) Maybe you are talking about something else?

what is on your arm? will that heal?
I don't really dirty it, I never felt the need to.
As for the arm, I would call it a blood donation gone wrong, I guess. In reality it's just a bruise, the vein didn't heal as fast as it should so I have a bunch of blood underneath my skin, so yes: it will heal.
Interesting way to cook but I really don't like your presentation. I love cooking in general so I'll keep an eye out for your upcoming cooking blogs!

Yeah when I heard that your sink is dirtier than your restroom toilet I kind of icked out lolol. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

WHOAH. WHOAH.
First, too bad mofo, I got dibs on the name D:<
Second, I do try to provide the cheapest method of making familiar, established dishes. You don't see me advocating making "cheesecake" by pouring a packet of sugar onto a block of cream cheese, and there's a reason for that.
Third, neither shin ramyun nor hot sauce are all that "ghetto" of ingredients. I guarantee that on the same amount of money you need to spend for a month's supply of shin ramyun and hot sauce, I can make a far wider variety of healthy and tasty dishes to eat over the same period of time.
But don't stop making these blogs, they are very fun to read.
