A ramen noodle and broth dish inspired by the Japanese classic using ingredients commonly available in American supermarkets. It is quite involved but has become one of my family's favorites, especially in cooler weather. Slurping is recommended.
Ingredients
- 8 cups water
- 0.5 medium onion , halved and separated
- 8 cloves garlic , peeled and whole
- 8 slices fresh ginger root
- 4 large eggs
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste , Optional
Instructions

1
Make broth base: Combine water, onion, garlic, and ginger in a large stock pot and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to maintain an easy simmer for 40 minutes.
-
2
While broth simmers, fill a medium saucepan with water. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer. Lower eggs into boiling water one at a time. Cook until yolks are barely set, about 7 minutes. Remove eggs from hot water, run under cold water until cool, and peel. Halve eggs lengthwise, place on a plate, and season with salt and pepper.

Add broth ingredients: Use a slotted spoon or long-handled strainer to remove garlic, ginger, and onion from broth in the stock pot; discard vegetables. Add soy sauce, sake, chile sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and salt; stir well. Cover the stock pot loosely and simmer for 10 to 20 minutes more.
-
5
Prepare finishing touches: Return simmering water to a boil. Cook noodles in boiling water uncovered, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, 1 to 3 minutes. Drain and divide noodles between 4 large bowls.
-
6
Add shrimp and scallops to simmering broth. Cook until opaque, 3 to 5 minutes.
-
7
Ladle finished broth into the bowls to barely cover noodles. Add equal amounts of shrimp and 1 scallop to the center of each bowl. Place a portion of bean sprouts on the side of each bowl. Place 2 soft-boiled egg halves, yolks-up, resting on noodles in each bowl; keep eggs above broth. Garnish each bowl with scallions.

Tuna Ceviche
Fresh chunks of tuna, ripe mango, and creamy avocado combine to make the perfect appetizer or a tasty lunch. I love to eat this with lime-seasoned tortilla chips, but it's just as delicious served in lettuce cups. I try to keep the tuna, avocado and mango pieces between 1/4- and 1/2-inch in size. Best eaten same-day, but can be kept 1-2 days in fridge, keeping in mind that texture will change.
Fresh Fig Cake
This beautiful fig cake has a middle layer of homemade fig preserves. It's delicious on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream.
Fluffy Canadian Pancakes
Fluffy pancakes that melt in your mouth. Separating the eggs and folding the whipped whites into the batter, nothing is better. Grills up to a golden brown.
