I make shoyu ramen. Here is a recipe I find has the best balance of time to make and taste:
>homemade chicken broth
I make a lot when I make Hainanese chicken rice, so I often have it left over. You can also buy unsalted bone broth.
>fish broth
ground anchovies and can add bonito flakes

for oil:
>chicken fat from chicken skin, use it to fry garlic, ginger, and green onions
Cook chicken skin, use the fat to fry garlic, ginger and green onions. now you have fragrant fat/oil, a crunchy fragrant topping, and chicken skin as a topping

That's the main base, of course make ramen eggs, noodles, and whatever else toppings you like

All "ramen hacks" or "ramen upgrades" are so fucking stupid it makes me mad to see people think they're good ideas.

Because all "ramen upgrades" videos are basically just making fully homemade ramen from scratch but just with the instant noodles. Like, why not just use real noodles by that point.

Or they tell you to do a lot more work like chopping vegetables and dirtying extra cookware and dishes, and spending a lot of time on preparation, to the point where it completely defeats the purpose of INSTANT ramen. Again, just make homemade ramen by that point with regular noodles.

You have to get the good imported ones. The kind that come with several different packets for different flavorings. The other shit that's produced here or specifically made to be sold here is just lowest common denominator garbage that is made explicitly with the philosophy that Ramen is cheap garbage food in mind.
The local Asian market doesn't always have it, but whenever they do, I buy their entire stock of Ibumie Penang white curry mee. It's got one packet with the msg and stuff, another packet with chilli paste and curry powder, and a third with some sort of creamer. I crack an egg into it as it's boiling and add the creamer right before eating and it's great.
The price was higher last time. I think they've noticed I keep buying all their stock and raised the prices

I save all my scraps, bones, and trimmings through the week and make a pot of flavorful broth to use for ramen on the weekend. those packets get used for other things. I'm always adding different stuff. marinated egg, fried egg, soft boiled, poached, thai chilies, chili paste, roasted red peppers or tomatoes, jalapeno, pork, chicken, beef, shrimp, octopus, the list goes on and on. if I'm doing seafood I like to add a teaspoon of lobster bouillon to my broth. ramen is so versatile you can do anything with it. have fun. think of your favorite food and just run with it. I've even made pizza ramen. roasted tomatoes, fresh basil, mozzarella. it's really hard to fuck ramen up. authentic ramen is very simple. you basically just need the broth, noodles, spft boiled egg, a protein, some sesame oil, and scallions. bok choy is optional but always a good addition.

noodles are on the thin side and the egg is overcooked but otherwise looks good. I think the teriyaki sauce might have been your problem. next time only boil the egg for 6 to 7 minutes and don't use too much miso paste. remember the classic K.I.S.S. (keep it super simple) when cooking ramen. the broth is the most important part. did you season the pork or just add it plain?

Some things are hit or miss.

All the other places I ordered it from used vegetable oil, which leaves a disgusting aftertaste, and most used way too much batter.

You just have to marinade them longer. At least a few hours but overnight is better. It just changes the color of the egg white though, the yolk usually stays yellow.

Another tip:
>To make the marinade, I highly recommend cooking it for 1 minute after boiling. This ensures the sugar dissolves and the alcohol evaporates completely leaving only the natural umami and sweetness in the sauce.

Also honestly if you can't find sake (which even I can find in my flyover) just use extra mirin. sake and mirin are both rice alcohol just different levels of alcohol/sugar. You'd almost be better off adding a dash of vodka than using grape wine imo.

Ramen is like some bastard combination of shitty pasta and thin watery soup with some stuff thrown in. It doesn't deserve much respect and beyond it being emergency rations, it shouldn't be eaten.

I made something like a curry ramen with leftover chili using whole beef, brown button mushrooms, baby potatoes and a massive amount of a variety of dried chiles. Extra veg including sugarsnap peas, green beans, carrots, onion. Just saved some of the water from cooking the noodles to loosen up the chili. Very good.

Yes I eat on my cat tree. I injured my back and it kills me to sit.

Yeah I got through half of it. I'll have the rest for dinner. Kind of wish I reserved half the noodles so they wouldn't get soggy. These are the noodles that come in stick bundles. A little expensive but they blow instant noodles out of the water.

I'm surprised they were allowed to portray the Japanese man snorting powder through his nose.
Drug laws are no joke over there.

its the culture that matters. Asia does have drugs but it doesnt have a drug culture. in usa it is mainstream. you wont see famous celebs or other ppl high and openly doing drugs like usa. Asia will never have celebs openly admitting to drug use.

It may not be famous in the West, but the tan-tan-men noodles are also delicious.
It is the Japanese version of Chinese dan-dan-noodles

>Tried ramen once at a Hibachi place that we frequent and it wasn't that great nothing to cry home about

That's because a fucking korean-run "hibachi" place in a flyover shithole is just serving you instant fucking ramen you dumb smoothbrain. Get real ramen in a proper city at a ramen restaurant, not a "hibachi" place with ramen on the menu. Or better yet, go to Japan.

[Anonymous No.19398526]

Recommend me good ramen restaurants in the hellhole known as San Francisco that aren't chains. I want to eat authentic Jap ramen at a place where the chef is the owner.

I live outside of SF and I go into the city at least once a month. I think I know the city better than you do. While SF is mostly shit and depressing like you saw on twitter, there are still some nice areas and among the best restaurants in the country in the city.

>>19398580
I don't see any indication of it being chef-owned and they have another location in LA, but I see the ramen looks really good and they do have good reviews.

California is its own third world country within a country. that's why I left. your restaurants serve you piss and jizz because tithe only people left are degenerate scum. you'll find better ramen in Nevada than anywhere in Liberallifornia.

after reading through this thread I can safely say most of you are legitimately retarded. it's embarrassing to even use this site anymore. you all need to get off the computer and go outside. speak like that to people in the real world and see what happens.
