Ramen is one of very interesting Japanese foods. Though Chinese in origin, ramen closely associated with Japanese culture and became one of the most popular Japanese icons. The Japanese are very fond of ramen and almost every locality in Japan has its own ramen variation. They can enjoy ramen for any time of the day. And surprisingly, a bowl of ramen is often eaten right after a night of drink.
All of my Japanese friend knows "Pad Thai", in exactly the same way that all of my Thai friend know "Ramen".
I had never shared Pad Thai recipe , though it was frequently requested by my Japanese friends. But,please don't think that I had some secret recipes, which I was reluctant to share. I didn't. There was simply two main reasons. One : there's tons of Pad Thai 's recipe already available on line. I didn't know what else to offer. Second, I had absolutely no idea about how to fire up delicious Pad Thai. (Please keep reading.)
As a kid there was no way my mom was ever going to get me to eat bitter melon except by hiding it in mountains of egg noodles with thick tasty broth. Thirty years later it is still the only way.
I have to admit that I don't like bitter melon at all. However, I know it's really good for my health just like other bitter vegetables. It boosts our metabolism and acts as powerful antioxidant. In my mission to like bitter melon, I searched high and low for ways to make it less bitter. Then I found that parboiling it with some salt will make its distinctive flavor less powering.
Although I enjoyed eating pretty much, I had no interest in cooking. And I didn't care when people called me Lazy/Horrible wife. :-) Why I had to sweat for an hour in the kitchen for something that disappear within a minute. And I was really a big fan of street foods paradise in Bangkok.
