Ramyun Challenge part 2 of 20

I was freezing this morning.  I guess it's because I haven't experienced any weather colder than the mid 50s in over a year and a half.  I guess this was the inspiration for round 2.

Boiled water.  Added the Ramyun and about a third of the seasoning packet.  Added slivered onion and a clove of smashed garlic.  Added sliced red pepper, a can of smoked salmon, and two pieces of cut up left over bacon.  Added powdered coconut milk (this stuff is so useful), a dash of garam masala, and a liberal pour of kecap manis.

The results were very tasty.  It was creamy, sweet, smokey, and a little spicy.  I think a half a can of the smoked salmon would have been plenty.  It probably could have used some acid.  Lemon juice, perhaps.  I was debating adding sliced apple, which I probably should have.

Tea Pairing: Ten Ren 103 King's Oolong
