Hayashi Chuka, Chilled Ramen

May 11, 2020 by Benjamin and Koshiki Leave a Comment

Hayashi Chuka, Chilled Ramen This is what my children would ask for dinner as soon as the weather warms up: Chilled curly wheat noodle topped with cool cucumber, crunchy carrots, juicy and vibrant tomato and chilled and shredded meat (or substitute tofu) drizzled with refreshing sesame vinaigrette. Most of all, this salad-like noodle dish has well-balanced ingredients (grain, vegetable, protein, seeds, egg), the balance of flavor element (sweet, sour, salty, fatty, and pungent), and will make you full and satisfied.

Toppings for Hiyashi Chuka is forgiving, and you can add almost anything to make it your own. To make vegetarian, we substitute meat with sliced kitsune, follow the instructions for making abura-age in the recipe below:

Can't go wrong with fried pork 😁  うまっ😋  Serving: 2 people  INGREDIENTS:
¾ pound pork loin (cut into two large slices or four smaller slices)
1 cups of panko bread crumbs
¼ cup four
1 egg, well beaten with a tablespoon of cold water
Salt and pepper  2 cups of vegetable oil for deep frying  For the home-made Tonkatsu sauce:
2 tablespoons Worchester sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon soy sauce  DIRECTION:
Make the sauce by mixing the Worchester sauce, ketchup, and soy sauce in a small saucepan.  Heat the sauce until everything is well-combined.  Keep it warm.  Cut pork into either two large slices or four smaller slices.  The meat should be about ¼ inch-thick.  Tenderize the meat if necessary and cut slits into any fat or membrane so the meat will not curl as it deep-fries.  Lightly salt and pepper the pork. 
Dust the pork in flour, dredge them in egg mixture, then press them onto panko bread crumbs.  The pork should be covered completely in bread crumbs.
Heat the oil to 300 F and fry the pork one at a time, turning it as it brown's about 3 minutes total.  Take the pork out of oil and dry it in an oil drying rack or paper towel. 
Cut the pork into strips and serve them hot with home-made Tonkatsu sauce.  #cookjapanesefoodathome
