RAMEN PART 1: Spicy Asian Noodles
I thought it would be appropriate to do sort of an ode to ramen for this blog. The thing is, there are so many awesome ways to fuck with ramen that just one blog post could not possibly do it justice, so I plan on posting a series of simple, quick, cheap, and fancy ramen recipes.
This particular recipe is inspired by a Chinese noodle dish featured in an episode of Luke Nguyen’s Greater Mekong.
Ingredients
- Any combination of two crunchy vegetables, for example bean sprouts, bok choy, cabbage, bell peppers, and carrots
- Ramen noodles, boiled with seasoning until barely pliable, and drained
- Minced garlic
- Soy sauce
- Hot pepper oil (see caption for ingredients)
- Scallions (optional)
- Garlic water (optional - but it’s just water infused with a few crushed cloves)
- Cooked chicken(optional)
Add some oil to a pan over medium high heat and throw in your minced garlic. Give it a few seconds then add your crunchy vegetables, chicken, and scallions (all chopped or sliced). Add a few dollops of the crushed red pepper oil and two teaspoons of soy sauce. After stirring everything together add your noodles. Toss it around. Lastly, turn the heat up to very high and add the garlic water. Plate and enjoy :0)

i never had that kind of stuff growing up. i’m thankful to have a completed family, but i can’t help but feel sad thinking about the fact that whenever i left the country, it’s never even been with my family. i even took off from work for 3 weeks just to set something up, but they’re all…
I know that feel. It’s like my family doesn’t really spend time with each other. I don’t really see my cousins/aunts/uncles much, much less take vacations with them. My parents are going on a cruise with their friends after I start school. It’s not like they mean to leave me out (“Oh, you’ll have fun at school with your friends, besides, you’re working anyway”), but I feel sad all the same. It just makes me want to try harder to spend more time with them, like family dinners.
Beili Liu - The Mending Project (2011)
“…Hundreds of Chinese scissors suspended from the ceiling in a shimmery cloud. The piece involved the artist sitting in front of a small black table, hand-mending patches of fabric together which visitors are encouraged to cut themselves near the entrance. As the performance continues, the piece grows as one continuous cloth and lays spread on the floor.
The hovering mass of the downward-pointed scissors represent the distant fear and looming violence present in today’s cultural climate. The sharp blades above the artist are put on contrast by the silent and simple act of mending. The dichotomous result of the instant fear superimposed with the calming effect of the sewing creates a surreal atmosphere in the room.”
WTF THAT’S FREAKING TERRIFYING
