Just another ginger spice

 

Hi Natty!  How are you, Honey?  I hope you are having a fabulous time over there, and keeping yourself safe and healthy.  I'm doing OK over here, it's just another average day for me.  I didn't have any pressing chores or appointments thank God, so I spent the most of the day in the kitchen.  I made a batch of dough in the morning, also cooked up some rice for my fried rice dinner, then made ramen.  I love ramen!

I went out to buy some vegetables yesterday evening, and I scored some cabbage, carrots and cauliflower.  The guy threw in some "lengkuas" (galangal) for free, which is basically a harder and spicier ginger.  Galangal can grow like mad around here, but the locals only use it in select dishes.  A lot of different herbs and spices grow in this area, but the locals don't experiment with them, which I think is a shame. So I threw in some galangal in to the blender along with ginger, seaweed, onion, and cauliflower stems.  I had brewed all that in my ramen broth, which included a thick fish bone and a beef nail.  I couldn't put the fish bone in the blender, but the nail had unraveled from being stewed 5 times already for ramen broth.  The gel was popping out, so I put that in the blender along with the soup.  I had to strain the mixture, but the result was a beautiful white broth as you can see in the photo below.  It looks milky, but it tastes like beef broth.  Do you like ramen, Honey?  I have a feeling that you do.
