This is really just a listing of recipes I want to try. I bought pig trotters at IGA because they are cheap (I didn't know they were called trotters when I bought them, but that just sounds like a nicer name for what it is. They were labeled pork hocks in the store.) And they are just right for making pork broth for Asian soups. I really wanted them for pho, but Jason is not so sure about pork pho, so I'm going to make ramen instead.
The trickiest part is finding a recipe that doesn't call for 5+ ingredients that i don't have!
This one for tonkotsu ramen broth sounds good. Tonkotsu means "pork bones," so probably any recipe for that type would work.
But here is a chicken pho recipe that I already have everything for! Well, sort of. I should buy a whole chicken for it, but that's easy. And some onions...
Love that you're on a pho kick! (btw, Taste of Asia in the Rimrock Minimall sells it if you're ever wanting it for takeout). Your recipe sounds a lot like one I've used: http://mollyssoupblog.com/?p=77.
ReplyDeleteAnd speaking of hard-to-find ingredients, do you know about Babcock and Miles in Red Lodge? Probably, but it's new to me and I'm super excited about their selection of spices!
Thanks for the hint about Taste of Asia, Molly! We'll have to check it out soon. Also, thanks for the recipe link; sounds delicious! It's always helpful/fun to see other recipes.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about Babcock & Miles, but that sounds like something else to check out soon. :)
ps - I didn't realize you blogged so often at the soup blog! Usually I just click through from facebook. It's now in my feed reader. :)
