Ramen

There are two eggs down there somewhere. I need to use a bigger bowl next time.

I make tonkotsu broth and keep it around for when I need something warm and comforting. It has soft boiled soy sause infused ramen eggs, spring onion, and nori.

I need to step up my game and keep some roasted and pureed garlic and toasted sesame around but this will do at my desk at work.

This was yesterday's dinner, the last of my freezer pork (this means I get to make another batch)

I always loved this Nissin commercial about Momofuku Ando, the inventor of instant ramen.

This is their seasonal pure chicken shio broth. The menma was incredible, never had anything quite like it.

I had both on hand and gave it a go. I'd do it again!

Making a pescatarian (more or less) ramen - niboshi shoyu dashi, aroma oil, shoyu tare and homemade ajitama, with store bought frozen noodles, air fried ebi tempura and narutomaki.

This place specializes in tsukemen - you dip the noodles and toppings in the concentrated broth. There's also chunks of meat and onions in the broth itself. This is "level 3" spicy. The kakuni pork belly was very very tender

First time for me in the North of Japan, staying for 9 days. On the first day we looked for a nice ramen place and we found a very cosy one.

With homemade chashu, menma and ajitama eggs.

Special menu item from a little ramen shop called Makoto-ya near Kyodo station run by a single elderly chef.

Clear broth made by keeping chicken carcasses at 180f for 12 hours and seasoned with bonito, kombu and niboshi tare

Some good if expensive ramen at one of the best ski resorts in North America!

I almost want to flag this as NSFW

This is their "Beefy King" challenge bowl. The broth is gyukotsu, which is like tonkotsu but made with beef bones instead of pork. Topped with roast beef, karaage, bean sprouts, menma and chili oil

Extra Ajitama of course 🥰

With sous vide chashu finished under the broiler, roasted purple cauliflower, and sauteed oyster mushrooms.

Pre-broth:

Niboshi and Pork broth, with powdered niboshi and kombu. Noodles topped with shoulder chashu, sweet onion and ajitama

This is their "Tanaka Classic" bowl

Some thick rich tonkotsu ramen. Always a long line at this shop.

Oysters and Oyster Mushrooms! Unfortunately I believe this restaurant is closed now

My digestive system never recovered from this one...

Jiro-style ramen in the great city of Vancouver. Thick pork based broth with back fat, tons of bean sprouts and chicken karaage

Tare was soy-niboshi-shiitake I believe. Broth base followed Ramen_Lord's tokyo style chintan recipe.
