I have got a new kitchen gadget again as present! I really thinks it's very easy to buy me presents as I enjoy 'playing' with food and enjoy making them when I see my family enjoying the food I churn out, sometimes out of curiosity on how good the recipe is or when I just want to experience cooking food with new ingredients or new cooking methods! Hubby had been buying me kitchen gadgets once in a while.. to name a few, airfryer, a big SS baking tray and accessories (sad to say, cannot fit in to my convention even!), slow fruit juicer (which I bought it online myself and he paid for it) and this new addition noodles maker!!
In fact, I saw this machine a few years back thinking how would I buy one which just produces noodles for a few hundred dollars??!! But hubby thought otherwise cos our 3 kids love noodles more than anything! Hahaha...
So, my first task on the first weekend was to give it a try!!! And we often paid about $15-$20 for a bowl of decent ramen at ramen shops, so having gone thru the recipe book a c some online recipes, here's my first homemade ramen!!!
This is the first time I made everything myself.. ok lah, some short cut, for thr miso soup base, I did not cook the porkbone from scratch.. i was using those packet pork bone soup... other than this, the ramen eggs, cha siew and noodles were all from scratch!
My decent looking ramen!!! All of us was impressed when all I did was just putting bread flour and water into the machine and about 7mins later, ramen is out!!
My toppings for ramen!
My cha siew!!! Very tasty and delicious but I think not soft enough to achieve those melt-in-the-mouth effect.. but good try!!
Ta-da!!! My homemade bowl of Ramen!!! Its really yummy and we can have tons of seaweed without having to pay for $2 for 5 pcs!!! Very happy that everyone enjoyed it!!! I will make more ramen with different soup base soon!!!
After about 2 weeks later, I decided to try making penne!!! Which the kids say its yummy and taste better then those dried ones.. as it's chewy compared to off the shelf ones...
It does taste better and fuller! Hahaha.. I guess it taste better cos i had added an egg to the flour mix .. I hope I can make more noodles for the kids soon... as my son had been complaining... why with a noodle maker at home, we are still having rice for dinner daily??? OMG!!!
