What the fuck is the point of all that other bullshit people throw in when they make Ramen? When I want noodles, I eat noodles. I'm not gonna throw scallions, seaweed, fish cakes, corn, or any of that shit. Just make noodles, bro, what the fuck is all that other shit. That's like 20% noodles and 80% other shit I do not need with my Ramen. The Japanese make Ramen completely wrong.

I dump out 90% of the broth when I make Ramen. I want the noodles, the broth is a sauce at most. I think the flavor is subtle and delicious enough without having to mix in two additional tiny-meals into your bowl. I want a consistency in texture and flavor in my noodles which that shit on top absolutely does not provide. What does the fish cake add into your Ramen experience? It takes you out of it, it reminds you you're not eating noodles but a smorgasbord you poured into a bowl and covered in broth. It's a chore to remind yourself to eat everything on your plate despite the lack of consitency, to pace yourself with the mixture of random sideshit in between bites of noodles.

why is japanese cuisine so hilariously bad?
the main staple dish of nipponland is sushi which is literally just fish on rice
their curry is just watered soup
ramen is just inferior version of authentic Chinese noodles
even instant noodles is taiwanese (Chinese) and not from japan

why could the nips not make a satisfactory cuisine?

This. Everyone glamorizes Japanese cuisine, most of it is just deep-fried meat, vaguely pork flavored soup (ramen), or some vaguely fish flavored thing (Sushi, miso, etc). The only good Japanese dish I've tried was Kakuni over rice. Oyakudon is also alright. Chinese food and Korean food are 10x more tasty.

Canadian here. I unironically love instant ramen. Every year my family waits for Black Friday when we can afford enough for a family dinner for my birthday (October 16th) and Christmas. Yup, pretty standard for a Canadian family. See Canadian culture is centered around sales. They have holidays for sales. They listen to store music in case the speaker mentions a deal. They stalk store clerks for sales. They dress and act like store clerks so they can get some sales. The entirety of their modern culture is waiting for sales. They post sassy gifs about getting items during the sale. They watch 24/7 update feed regarding sales. Their biggest event of the year involves throwing parties in honour of getting things on sale. They use sale slang like “savin' them dollars" and "I get to eat this week". When you say "Steak is $15" they're not thinking of a nice juicy ribeye or a flavourful and soft tenderloin; they're thinking of the poorest cuts of the cow. Their cities are completely overrun with people looking for sales. They worship any store that has sales for items on the shelf. Their men sit around watching for sales while their women sit around watching infomercials. They worship sales like BOGO and 20% cash back and the late buy one get one free while attacking the countries who can actually afford food without any sales. Their movies are filled with sales promotions. They send their sons to the store and celebrate when they come back with a can of luxury Campbell's soup that they got for 20% off because those soups are true Canadian luxuries. They watch sales to a point where the numbers no longer make them think of quantities but about percentages off products. They will tell you how much they hate looking for sales and how the “post the in-store prices" meme is a stale joke and they are just pretending to love sales but the evidence speaks for itself in that Canada is a nation of people who eat beef once a month if lucky.

I do shoyu with a little miso in the tare at home.
Stupid easy if you use instant dashi and has a relatively neutral taste that pairs well with anything you throw in.

Fuck it here's the recipe:
Broth
>Dashi
>Vietnamese seasoning sauce
>Tamari (about half the quantity of seasoning sauce added)
>White pepper
>Dried shiitake
Simmer that shit until the mushrooms release those juices

Tare
>Sake
>Brown sugar
>Dark soy sauce
>Rice wine vinegar
>Veggie broth powder
>Garlic
>Ginger
Cook garlic and ginger till aromatic, add other ingredients and reduce until it looks right. I've been doing it in the microwave lately because I can't be bothered to wash yet another pan.

Cook your noodles and ready your other stuff (scallions, fried tofu, fishcake, seaweed, wood ear/black fungus, bamboo shoots, sliced jalapenos, whatever). Slam it together with the tare in the bottom, topping with some chili or sesame oil.
This entire process takes less than 30 minutes and results in some tasty-ass ramen.


That said, when I go to a real ramen place I get tonkotsu.

>>16393330
As the other anon said, sliced roast pork is the traditional meat, but you can put almost anything in ramen. Leftover steak, grilled chicken, bits of smoked salmon.
It's important to cook the food separately for most types of broth because you don't want it to come to a boil or you'll lose aromatics.
I've gently simmered chicken in ramen before, but there's not much reason to. Better to just toss it in a skillet and get a good sear.

The instant noodle thread died, but I'm sure there's some overlap so I'll post here anyway. Just tried this and I'm pretty happy with it. Everyone said it was too spicy, and maybe that's the case when you're chugging the broth at the end, but it was the perfect spice level on the noodles themselves. Only complaint is I would like more vegetable bits or a version with meat bits.
