Just because traditionally asian or whatever cultures you are thinking of, have more spicy ingredients does not mean white people do not like, or can not take spicy foods. I would literally need drugs and rehab if I was unable to eat spicy foods ever again and I am, of course, white. Have you ever eaten a Habenero pepper raw? I have. Do you use tabasco, tapatio, sri racha on everything to the point where it's not even hot no matter how much you layer on? I do. Do you chop onions and naga viper peppers and rub your eyes just for fun? I will. calm down buddy, the stereotype usually stands true 90% of the time | ||

This is freshly prepared, southeast asian influenced, ramen with one of the best goddamn meats of all time. LAMB. What you need * 12 ounces ramen noodles ( I used some flat wheat noodles I found at an asian grocery store) * small amount of vegetable oil * 1/2 pound of lamb (I asked the dude for some lamb that would be good in a stew and he handed me some chunks which I would later cut up into reasonably sized pieces) * 4 cups chicken broth/stock * 3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped * 4 green onions chopped ~1/2 way up the stalk * 1 diced thai chile (or you can substitute crushed red pepper flakes) * A handful of chopped fresh mushroom caps of your choice ( I used some awesome Texas yellow cap mushrooms) * 1/3 red onion peeled and sliced very thin * 3 leaves of bok choy washed and sliced to reasonably sized pieces ** 2 small teaspoons sugar ** 1 tablespoon wine vinegar ** 1 tablespoon rice vinegar ** a dab of chili oil ** 3 tablespoons store-bought sweet chili sauce (not sriracha) ** 5 tables spoons fish sauce ** 1 teaspoon of oyster sauce (optional, only use if you have it) What you gotta do (1) Bring water to a boil in large pot. Add the ramen noodles when boiling and cook until al dente/just tender. (2) Dump cooked noodles into strainer and rinse briefly with cold water. Set aside. (3) Preheat oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit (4) Put lamb pieces into oven-safe cooking pan or glass dish. Drizzle the raw lamb with a bit of vegetable oil and mix with hands to evenly coat. I coated with a few sprinkes of Chinese five-spice also. (5) Put coated lamb pieces in oven for 10-12 minutes. Just make sure it looks edible by cutting the thickest piece open with a knife and checking. (6) While lamb is cooking add the last 7 ingredients (have ** next to them) together in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Set aside. (7) Add chicken broth, red onion, green onion, and garlic together in large pot. Bring to a boil. When it reaches a boil, add the mushrooms caps, chili pieces/flakes, and the previously mixed 7 ingredients and turn all the way down to a simmer or remove from heat entirely. (8) Place a portion of noodles into a bowl and top with a small handful of bok choy and several lamb pieces. (9) Using a ladle, spoon the broth mixture over the noodles, bok choy, and lamb. (10) FEAST. Recommended Drink ![]() It's real f'in good, the IMMvp of beers. Or if you're lazy and dont mind spending $16+ on the most amazing bowl of ramen you will ever eat in your life...and live in NYC then one must try Ramen from Ippudo.

And people always chided spices saying it was just a way of masking bad taste. So yeah, stereotypes usually exist for a reason ;/ | ||

The pork pun is delicious though.

Much more of a regional thing probably. People with a wider variety of tastes (in food) are more likely to try and like spicy foods. I've grown up loving spicy food and most of my white family is the same way. Spicy food is very cultural. | ||

make sure enough water to submerge eggs bring water to rolling boil cook for 3 minutes under boil remove pot from heat, let eggs stand in the hot water for 7 minutes put eggs into prepared bowl with ice+water to stop the cooking process notes: 6 minutes will give you yummy runny yolk, great for breakfast 8 minutes, the yolk will be slightly overcooked and you will start to see the green | ||

Honestly I can't speak on the topic very well, having never been to Japan, but I would be highly surprised if they are truly that similar. NY Ippudo uses very high quality ingredients, Berkshire pork being one I recall, which is quite expensive and thus used sparingly (and accounts for much of the price). The same goes for Momofuku and Chang's other places. Again, I haven't been to Japan, but I'd be surprised to see that the 50+ chains in Japan are using similar ingredients. | ||

I'm a confirmed chili head. I grow my own habaneros and sometimes eat them raw. That's an experience! Someday I want to go to Caribbean isles and join the natives as they sit beachside and slice scotch bonnets into thin strips and eat them between hits off a bottle of rum. | ||
