In the latest edition of “Cooking in the Cave,” Jarvis Napier and Jimmy Brown prove you don’t have to spend hours in the kitchen or have a plethora of ingredients and cooking tools to make a delicious, hearty meal.
The Mercer Dining chefs created a beef teriyaki ramen bowl using just a handful of products available for purchase at the P.O.D. Market on our Macon campus. All you need is a pot, a stove, a knife and a few ingredients to create this dish on your own. Feel free to substitute or add in other flavors to fit your individual preferences.
“We get our light and bright flavors from the kombucha, and then the beef rehydrated slightly, the teriyaki and the noodles … this is awesome,” Jarvis said. “Even you can shop in the P.O.D. too and find a great meal. Come visit us.”
