Turkey Ramen

[heart_this] · Jan 4, 2008 · 14 Comments

Turkey Ramen

I only had a little bit of the turkey stock left and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. I had not had ramen in a while and I had been craving it. The flavour of ramen is greatly determined by the quality of the broth. Although you can make tasty ramen with store bought stock a good home made stock will always be better. The only problem was that I only had 1 cup of turkey stock and I needed 2… I decided to soften some dried shiitake mushrooms in a cup of boiling water and use the resulting mushroom flavoured water for the remaining liquid component of the broth. This added a really nice shiitake mushroom flavour to the broth. The final component of the broth was a tablespoon of miso paste. I decided to finish the ramen off with some baby bok choy and bean sprouts. Everything was simmered in the broth thus adding even more flavour to it. The turkey ramen turned out pretty good. The broth was really tasty! I was in a bit of a rush and I completely forgot about the green onion! It is so nice to have turkey leftovers!

    This looks amazingly healthy and light after the holidays. I love my butter and chocolate but once in a while our bodies need a break. Great job!

    Terrific move there using the mushroom water. I get ramen cravings too, but I don’t know why I’ve not made some myself.

    By the way, I am very impressed by your pantry. I think I need to do a pantry make-over when I get back to Sydney.

    Another perfect use of the leftover turkey Kevin! Ramen would be light and yet satisfying after all the overabundance over the holidays.

    When I read your post title, I thought you were going to show us how to make hand-pulled Ramen! (joke)

    It’s great that you remake homemade versions of those tasty, yet MSG filled bowls of soup.

    The home version always rules!

    Wonderful dish and I always add dried shitake (or whatever dried mushrooms I have on hand) to make more/richer broth. Great minds think alike! Thanks for sharing with Presto Pasta Nights.

    Oh man, that looks really delicious. I love the flavor of dried shitakes and always use the water for the flavor. I’m inspired now to make a shitake and seaweed soup tonight.
