Thanksgiving Ramen
You may have noticed that I have been craving Thanksgiving flavors a little early this year. This bowl would also be great to make with T-day leftovers, but I made it ahead of time because I couldn’t wait! The browned cubes of squash, and cranberries sauteed with jalapenos add a nice sweetness to the whole bowl, and the tender shredded turkey fits perfectly in a ramen style bowl.
Cube the squash and saute it on high to brown on all sides.
Then cook the cranberries with some jalapeno and a little honey.
This was so good! The cranberry mixture with the bitter, sour, spicy, sweet combo is so great in a ramen bowl.
The stock was store bought turkey bone broth that I added some sesame oil and soy sauce to.
I was able to get these fresh ramen noodles at my local Asian market!
