Love Ramen? You Have to Try J’Something’s Short Rib & Udon Noodle Bowl Recipe!
Love Ramen? Why not create your own noodle bowl at home instead of heading out to the often over-priced restaurants? Inspired by Castle Milk Stout, J’Something’s easy-to-create short rib and udon noodle bowl is a favourite Asian takeaway dish which you can make at home for family and friends. According to J’Something, slow cooking the short rib in the stout beer helps to tenderise it beautifully. Chewy udon noodles have a mild flavour that’s wonderful with the delicate spices in this rich beef broth.
