How to make a delicious Ramen!

Sofrito Lovers,

Ramen is an amazing versatile food.  Yes, I recognize that the flavor packets are a sodium bomb, that the noodles are a bit sketchy, and that a diet rich with instant Ramen leads to several gastrointestinal issues.  But, if you partake of this vice in moderation and with creative substitution you can create amazing dishes that rival some of the best ramen dishes in NYC.

Trial and error are the keys to healthy and delicious ramen! You have to be willing to experiment with various spices, herbs, veggies, and proteins to transform instant ramen into a culinary work of art. 

Check out this YouTube tutorial from Martin Parrao and start working on your own ramen recipes.  This video has inspired me to think about some Boricua style ramen recipes; lets see what I can come up with when I combine ramen, sofrito, and sazon! 

Watch and then go taste for yourself!  ¡Buen Provecho!

Prison Dish: P's Jail Break

 

Sofrito Lovers,

Prisoners are incredibly resourceful, especially when it comes to their food!  A few days ago, Emmymadeinjapan posted a video of dish called P's Jail Break from a prison recipe book titled, Commissary Kitchen: my infamous prison cookbook by Albert "Prodigy" Johnson.  

Diagnosed with Sickle Cell Disease, Johnson managed to stay healthy while incarcerated by creating healthy recipes from the items he could find in the prison commissary, what was sent to him, and cafeteria leftovers.

After watching Emmy's video, I looked up the book and was fascinated by Johnson's life as a Hiphop artist, his no nonsense approach to prison culinary culture, and the recipes he came up with and inherited from other inmates.

Watch the video below and give the dish a try!  I'm going to be sampling it soon myself!  I'll let you know what I think!  Watch and go taste for yourself!  ¡Buen Provecho!
