Box Dinner?

Is there a word for this? I know bento is lunch box but what about dinner box? Meh oh well.

So tonight I’m fixing another ramen dish because they are easy. When I make ramen I usually just grab things to add to the noodles, this week I’m kind of merging different styles from Japan.

The ramen noodles I have easy access to are the cheap ones from Wally World. Money is really tight for me right now, what can I say? After lunch today I decided to boil the eggs to go with dinner. Even though there are only three of us living here I ended up boiling four eggs,

While the eggs did their thing I also began work on our dissert, Dorayaki. I’ve made this a few times before and again, this is another dissert from Japan that my mom’s not wild over so I mostly make this for dad and I. Still yummy though.

This is the anko (red bean past) that I used:

Mix the three eggs and the sugar together until well combined.

Add the baking soda to the water so it can dissolve. Once dissolved add it to the eggs and sugar, then gradually add the flour to the mix. 

Now generally you fry these in veggie oil but I prefer to just use non-stick spray. Cook them on the pan/griddle like you would a pancake. After all your lil’ pancakes are cooked it’s time for the sandwhiching!

After mom got home from work at 4pm I started on dinner. Firstly I cooked up the bacon, yes you read that right, bacon. Then I gathered everything else together for the ramen that night.

6 slices of bacon, cut in half so really 12
            1 leek
            ½ teaspoon garlic
            2 tablespoons red miso
            3 hard boiled eggs
            3 packages of ramen
            And a sauce consisting of 3 Tablespoons soy sauce, 2 Tablespoons mirin, 1 tablespoon sugar, and a half tablespoon seaseme oil

Start by boiling 8 cups of water with the sauce and miso. Once the starts boiling add in the leeks and garlic. Add the ramen then cook until noodles are done, adding in the bacon at the last minute.
