Back at the very 1st post, I said I wouldn't hide the failures. This one was a pretty good one. I was in between things, had a little time before going to a friend's place to grill pork and drink beer. I figured I'd try the classic ramen w/ Greenoodle. The mistakes just piled up:
- I put the egg in before the noodles
- I put the egg in before the water was hot enough to quick cook it
- I put the pork in while the noodles cooked, instead of pre-heating and adding at the end
- I went to get my phone while the gas was still on high and came back to this
It was actually bubbling up above the pan's rim a good inch or three, but I had to turn it down before I could snap a picture. I used too much water as well, so I had little hope left. I resigned myself to strain it and see.
All told, it could have been worse, but by boiling everything together I killed any distinct flavor profiles and was only able to save it as a meal by dropping the habanero sauce bomb. I did eat it, but I wouldn't have asked anyone else too.
