Panko breadcrumbs!
Panko breadcrumbs! Great for Japanese deep frying a la Tonkatsku. Actually quite expensive to buy here in UK. Make about 2 litre's worth from a loaf of white bread. Shred in a mixer and bake for 20-30 mins at 100C.

Shoyu ramen (3rd bowl). Proper ramen egg this time (soft boiled and cured in the chasu broth) and blowtorch finished pork chasu, home made ramen noodles. Shredded chicken left over from the broth. Whole chicken carcass pressure cooked for 90 minutes with dried sardines and prawns, carrots and probably a few other goodies I can't remember right now. Aside from being a little cold it was rather lovely.

Ramen noodles. 100% wheat flour, 45% water, 3% baked baking soda. About 80-100g per portion in a soup. Bake baking soda in oven at 120C for an hour. This will help with the texture and colour the noodle yellow.

Kimchi beef pancakes with homemade dough. Used a pasta machine to roll the dough out which turned out to be quite easy. Pleased with how they turned out. Fried/steamed in a pan, gyoza style. Accompanied with foraged sea beat, which are excellent.

Don't forget, if you can't find food at a supermarket or your local shop, you can still go for a walk and grab something from the local fields or shoreline without getting in close proximity of other folks. Today we picked a huge bag of nettles, sea beet (sub in any spinach recipe) and some limpets (!). Apparently the limpets aren't super tasty and a bit tough, so I've parboiled for 5 mins, food processed to small pieces/paste and added them to some mushroom, bacon and wild garlic pesto with a bit of oregano and thyme. Will put them into puff pastry parcels tomorrow.

Foraged sumac. Not much out this time of year apart from sloes and rosehips. First time processing these, around about 10 quite large buds filled a jar, took about 1hr total to get through.
