It was only a matter of time. We started with a roast chicken and made a pressure cooked broth. That was enriched with turkey bones and we pressure cooked it again. Then we were short on time and needed to cook a veal breat quickly. We put it, the broth, and tons of pepperoni in the pressure cooker. We used the shredded veal meat to enrich (and stretch) some chili. The pepperoni was spent and went into the bin. The resulting broth and the flavorful fat were something special. And with Amaya in the background chanting, Ivan Ramen, noodle book, I was given direction. The broth is bright with random layers of flavor that come and go on your tongue. Now comes the bigger task of pulling together a great dish with noodles and condiments. Pepperoni ramen here we come.
