Pork Ramen

Upgrade your ramen noodles and throw out those seasoning packets, which have enough sodium to make you dry up like a prune. The FDA recommends the average American consumes no more than 2,300 mg of salt per day. A package of Top Ramen’s noodles contains more than half of this. Ramen is the ultimate Japanese comfort food, and it's nowhere near as hard to make as you might think. Try these Pork Ramen noodles at home.

Ikea Swedish Meatballs with Cream Sauce

The largest IKEA in the United States just opened in Los Angeles. It’s absolutely massive. They almost need to put in a trolley! This is about their iconic Swedish meatballs and the beauty of it is that you can buy them frozen after you buy your GRÖNKULLA, FLÄRDFULL, SMÖRBOLL and (I always buy) their paper napkins. I know a lot of people that do not live near an IKEA, so here is a recipe to make them yourself.

Crispy English Potatoes with Pancetta

One of the things Brits excel in is roasted potatoes which usually accompany a Sunday roast with Yorkshire pudding. The boiling and roughing-up method is the key to making very crispy potatoes. Once you do this the potatoes get rough on the edges, which makes them super crispy when roasted in the oven. These Crispy English Potatoes with Pancetta are a real crowd-pleaser.
