>It's literally a lunchable in broth
this your brain after reddit

ramen isn't a "soup" its a noodle dish in a broth
there's a distinction here

>>15205204
This is soup.

>>15205212
I don't know man this looks like a lunchabld floating in tea to me but with shittier broth

>>15205212
LOOKS GROSS

>>15205210
"Traditional" soups, noodle soups, and stews would probably be the subclasses of soups I'd make. But in reality there lines are very blurry, and you can make stuff in between each.

>>15205185
I don't eat the broth though.

>>15205185
>tea
Decent bait post but this gave it away. Seriously though, homemade tonkatsu is fucking bomb and I implore you to put in the effort to try it once. When you slow cook the pork in the soy sauce blend it smells better than sex.

>>15205185
Made this today. It’s a soup and you’re an idiot.

>>15205185
Don't take ramen off the weebs. They already grew up without a father. This is as close to meaning as they're likely to get. Pretending to be Japanese is usually a symptom of low testosterone.

You cut your narutomaki too thick mah nigga. everything else looks solid though

>these damn redditors, ruining the world of soup that is rightfully ours

>>15205233
but like for example with ramen if you finish your noodles you can just order a refill of noodles. And it's not required for you to finish the broth
like in the case of dipping ramen the broth is so concentrated you wouldn't want to drink it anyway, you use it more like a sauce and they throw it out when you're done. If you want to drink it you specifically ask and they'll thin it out with some water

pleb

I had some decent mushrooms in the back of the fridge, plus some left over roast chicken, so I made a little bowl of bootleg ramen. Broth was chicken stock, garlic, ginger, soy sauce and mirin - was tasty.

>>15205185
Well, japs don't use spoons, they use chopsticks, and then drink the broth. It makes sense for their meals, then, to be built around the use of chopsticks. I know you thought you made a clever troll thread, but you actually just let everyone here know that you're a drooling, pants shitting retard.

>>15209555
Some places give you a spoon or have them out, some don't.

You described its appeal, OP.

>>15209555
>u have to respect their chop stick culture
I really don't.

>>15205185
Sounds like a petty difference to me

>>15210875
>no you have to respect the culture of what is and what isn't a soup!
>but uhh don't apply that to the other way cause lol i'm retarded

>>15205366
yikes

>>15205185
"Normally" the ingredients would be all mixed together to make a soup. Japanese cuisine has a pretty unique habit of putting a great emphasis on presenting the ingredients. It helps establishing a relationship of trust between the cook and its clients so they can know that the ingredients are of great quality and not spoiled. Other notable examples that follow this idea are Onigiris, Poke bowls and sushis.

If you have ever seen a chef making ramen you would have noticed that he carefully puts the ingredients over the broth to make sure they float.

>>15205185
/ck/ is honestly the least intelligent board on 4chan. Yes, /b/, /x/, and /pol/ are all smarter than the average /ck/ poster. I hate you.

>>15205185
Ramen always has been something like fast food for the working class. So you’re not far from the truth.

How does onigiri show the ingredients? It's covered by rice.

>>15213610
Some variations show what's "inside"

>>15205185

almost none of them do though, lol.
and what about omurice, the entire thing is covered by an omelette.

>>15205185
based. Asian cuisine is dogshit, because it probably literally is

>>15209555
>>15210403
No place that sells ramen doesn't serve them without soup spoons. If this ever happened to you they were fucking with you on purpose.

>>15205366
Looks like dogshit

>>15205185
If you just reduce all cuisine down to the simplest possible interpretation, then this is all meaningless. Pizza is just cheese on bread. Nigiri is just fish on rice. Fuck you.

>>15205185
Different cultures have different takes on dishes

Is this the soup general?
Made a garlic ginger pork meatball with kale soup the other day, kind of like chanko and alvondegas had an ugly kid. Put some lemon zest in the meatball mix on a whim and it really paid off.

>>15216435
Sounds pretty good, honestly.
Best soup I've made was a weird one.
>Popped the heads off a bunch of dried anchovies and soaked the bodies with shiitake mushrooms and seaweed overnight.
>Next day cooked some vegetables, and pork. >Mix it with some miso at the end.
Amazingly didn't taste fishy at all and was generally satisfying and tasty. It was sort of like tonjiru but I changed a lot. Made it a couple times, and it's always good.

>>15216461
Retard formatting.
Forgot to mention I strained out the anchovies, seaweed and mushrooms before cooking. Added more mushrooms later.

its like with every other brain melting social media platform, every like/upvote directly equates to a dopamine rush. Bigger number = bigger dopamine. 4chan kind of has this with (you)s but only if youre a faggot who cares about that shit.

>>15205366
so whats the deal with seasoned eggs, how do they make those shits

>>15205185
not lunchable tier.
It's good ,but all those soup assemblage or wtvr the fuck asian bowl of 27 individually cooked item is such a meme and time waster.

>>15218178
It's something practical to do for street carts and restaurants. All the ingredients are things that are ready to serve with routine work behind the scenes, and the noodles cook in minutes. It's fast food that's way better than going to McDonalds.

I agree that it's a massive undertaking to make a really good homemade ramen, though.

>>15217759
They're soft-boiled, peeled, and soaked in a soy sauce based marinade.

>>15218251
thank you

>>15205185
Do people really just eat an entire half an egg in one bite? Do people really just eat a mouthful of onion by itself?

>>15205185
Agreed. The chink’s ramen stuff looks aesthetically pleasing but it’s just a bunch of shit thrown in a bowl of ramen noodles, yet everyone acts like it’s some ancient Chinese secret. Fucking retards will obsess over anything Asians do because of some vague “quality of craftsmanship” or “respect” or some bullshit they heard in an adult cartoon.

There is no taste element derived from these assemblages worth the time to make them ,its just to lure customers with pretty colors.

What I remember as chinese food growing up as a young kid in Hong Kong

>fried chicken feet
>pig uterus noodles
>fried rice with pork knuckle gristle
>unidentifed fish balls on a stick
>boiled dog meat
>one time, monkey brains

Americans have no idea how bad it really is. No one in china knows what the fuck beef and broccoli is or sweet and sour pork. Chinese food is disgusting. Literally the worst parts to eat of any animal. Makes sense because chinks are the race of humans closest to animals. They make disgusting noises when they eat, slurp everything, men in the streets lift their fucking wife beaters over their sweaty stomachs while laughing and chewing with their mouths full of food. Like what kind of idiot decided 2 sticks is the most practical way to eat grains of fucking rice. Starving Nigerians who eat grass have a better diet than the average chinese.

If they eliminated the (you) function the quality of posts on this site would significantly increase, people get addicted to that shit and it encourages trolling.
>>15213186
This is true. The difference between those boards and ck is that ck users tend to express their dumb ideas coherently instead of overt schizo posting.

>>15208548
Yes and it is absolutely fucking insufferable

>>15218574
It's fucking street food, a delicious medley of satisfying flavors that are a pain in the ass to cook at home but work great as things to put together in a bowl in 5 minutes. I don't get why some trolls act as if having such a mix is an affront to their chicken tendies lifestyle.

>>15218603
It's noodles, ham, and eggs

>>15218619
And usually some vegetables too. It's a complete meal in a bowl.

based.
I spent 2 days making tonkatsu broth and soy tare with pickled ramen eggs and I also made a quick one from chicken stock concentrate and some rice vinegar and soy to flavor the broth.
They both taste good but real ramen has that extra depth and lip smacking satisfaction

>>15217759
6 minute boil approx, then soaked in a marinade of soy, mirin, sake, sugar ,water for a few days. Salt and sugar cures the egg over a few days time.
Or just use the liquid used to make chyasu. It's same recepie but it's been used to braise pork in.

Making ramen is actually really clever in how all that shit is reused, you use the fat you skim off the top of your broth to make flavored oils, for example.

>>15205185
>literally a lunchable in broth
sounds extremely based

>>15218619
That's slow cooked char sui, not ham.

>>15208034
I agree with you on principle but... soup?

>>15205212

>>15222550
It's just ham

Closer to bacon, but still not the same thing at all.
