Been making a ton of Japanese food this year. Stuff like gyudon (beef rice bowl), tonkatsu (fried pork cutlet), oyakodon (chicken and egg rice bowl), Hiroshima style okonomiyaki (Japanese kind of pancake with cabbage, pork belly, bonito flakes, etc), onigiri (rice balls), curry, inarizushi (fried tofu bags filled with sushi rice), etc. Keep wanting to make some scratch tonkotsu ramen but it takes 12 hours of vigorously boiling pork bones and it refuses to get cold here this year (in San Antonio, Texas), so maybe I should do an easier shio ramen or shoyu ramen instead that would only need 2-3 hours of simmering vs 12 hours of rolling boil. Christmas is supposed to be 82 lol.
