Ramyeon noodles with spicy broth, chilli beef and soft-boiled egg. — EASY

Korean noodles with spicy broth

This is a dish that I often crave, especially late at night and sometimes even for breakfast. Ramyeon are the Korean equivalent of Japanese instant ramen noodles. They come in an array of flavours, but I'm just interested in the noodles. Some decent stock, with a good spiking of fermented soybean paste and Korean chilli flakes and paste, is a good base. To this I just add some crunchy beansprouts, a soft egg, kimchi, stir-fried beef, spring onion, sesame and crispy shallots.

Serve this apple cake with double cream.

Warm apple, brown butter and almond cake

This apple cake, gently spiced and filled with slices of tart apple, reminds me of the apple and cinnamon teacake my mum would make when I was a child (my sister and I would sneak a piece, still warm from the oven). The crunchy almond topping gives it a lovely texture and contrasts nicely with the soft crumb and tender apples. The brown butter adds nuttiness too, all making for a nostalgic and comforting dessert.
