I avoid Asian cuisine because it is responsible for the coronavirus outbreaks.

I don't want MURDER on my plate.

>>14011940
no Borscht for you.

>>14011918
Used to get it every week. About halfway through switched to a ton katsu plate with mabo don and curry. When I was feeling wealthy I'd get unagi on rice.

I miss it desu.

>authentic ramen

i live in a city with a high japanese population and multiple ramen restaurants that are headquartered in japan, so i'd like to think so

>>14012214
also 95% of euro ramen is a joke and looks like the mcdonalds equivalent of ramen

being from new york I've had much very good ramen, (no that chang place isnt' on the list)

I liked the ramen in japan a lot though, I had 2 bowls I didn't like
one was at 3am out of a machine, the other was some specialty of the house with a spicy fish topping and I just didn't care for

aside from that the best ramen In NY is an 8/10 compared to the best ones in japan being a 10/10
so it's still good, but even the cheap shitty ones in japan were all pretty decent and worth it. I just got sick of eating the stuff

>>14012073
>overcooked egg
>prepackaged seaweed shit
>beef

You have shit taste.

>>14012226
like what you can get in hawaiian mcdonalds?

>>14012263
>comment says "specifically not authentic"
>picture is an example of such
>"hurrdurrr u no taste"

Kys, brainlet.

>>14012252
This guy understands

>>14011918
Yes, the soup base was awful tasting though.

>>14012288
All of those are authentic ingredients in some shape. Its more about poorly done than "inauthentic"

I've been to a neat ramen place in Chicago's Chinatown a couple of times. Can't remember the name but it's by the Chinatown Public Library.

>>14012452
>All of those are authentic ingredients
As opposed to what, inauthentic, imaginary ingredients?

Authentic as in cooked by an actual Ramen chef, from an actual ramen restaurant, not just instant noodles with frivolities thrown on.

If you can make a distinction between microwave burgers from a convenience store and a professionally made gourmet burger, perhaps you can begin to comprehend the difference.

>>14012491
authentic as in authentic to the cuisine in which the dish originates from. there are degrees of this such when an ingredient is authentic to the cuisine but is not typically used in the dish. everyone understands this you autist

>>14012548
lol those sentences make little to no sense.

>>14011918
>authentic ramen

>>14011918
>>14012073
Neither of these are "authentic" ramen.

>>14012491
Don't even bother anon. It is a le epic meme to hate Japanese food and hate ramen to "btfo weebs!!!" on this board.

>>14012491
Plenty of Japs eat instant ramen and instant ramen is a Jap invention that's become popular world wide.

Throwing on shit like eggs, green onion, even beef, etc is still authentic to Jap ramen. You can find mayo and corn ramen in Japan by traditional Japanese ramen chefs for example. It doesn't mean those are typical ingredients but I'd still consider it authentic to some extent.

Its mostly a hipster way to judge superiority of pretending to know a culture. You don't need an actual ramen chef to make something "authentic", you could find things less "authentic" from those people ever.

>>14011918
Sure have, Gumshara in Sydney, check it out if you're ever in town fags

>>14012574
ok let me tryhard this for you:

A dish typically classified as "authentic" uses ingredients and techniques true to the cuisine the dish originates from. "Authenticity" is not binary - a dish is not either authentic or inauthentic. Instead, I would argue, there are degrees of authenticity. For example, a ramen dish that falls somewhere between "authentic" and "inauthentic" would make use of ingredients that are true to Japanese cuisine, but are not traditionally found in any regional variation of the dish.

you happy bro?

>>14011918
No I don't eat weeb shit.

>>14011918
lucky enough to live literally one block from a spot that imports their noodles from japan. their veggie ramen is the most delicious vegetarian dish i've ever had.

>>14012637
>lucky enough to live literally one block from a spot that imports their noodles from japan
yeah my local japanese supermarket sells frozen noodles made in japan too

Shen-sen-gumi in California. About as authentic as it gets stateside. Hakata ramen, tonkotsu broth.

Yes in japan its rlly good
>tfw had better ramen in america
>udon absolutely destroyed every ramen i had in nippon

>>14012650
Here mexicali has a place called Umai, but its more like a hispter weird mix of japanese and mexican food, but it does have real Ramen at least.

>>14012614
Is that in the Dixon st food court? I'd check it out but Chinktown is in lockdown.

>>14011918
used to, now this gay lock down covid shit has mean eating instant ramen

yea I had some is Dotonbori and Tokyo
I tried some in Denver recently and it tasted like rubber

>>14012614
>>14012721
This is the one I was thinking of, Gumshara is in Eating world

>>14012744
That shop has been closed for ages

>>14012754
Yeah I don't live in Chinatown so I don't keep an up-to-date list of every hole in the wall noodle joint OK?

>>14012791
Maybe you shouldn't have opened your mouth in the first place then chump

>>14011918
pho is superior to ramen.\

>>14012650

weeb

>>14012797
Depends on what region of veitnam the pho recipe is from

Daikoku ramen with kotteri @ Daikokuya in Los Angeles

>>14012796
yeah he's the chump, good one anon

>>14012803
nigga what - i thought pho was pho? i just order rare beef. any info on this?

>>14011918
I’ve had it at a Michelin star place, it was alright.

>>14012842
Look at Mr Lah-Dee-Dah over here, how much did they charge you for a packet of noodles?

>>14011918
yes, when I was in okinawa back in 87, but I really don't like soup so I ate other stuff mostly

>>14012830
My gf is from central veitnam so I'm getting all my info from her, but I think most pho is the us is from south veitnam (probs cuz of it being bought over from war refugees). In central vietnam the broth is sweeter and there's more often both beef and poached chicken, and in the north it's saltier, and more oily. I really don't care for the northern style pho. Veitnam is actually crazy diverse culturally despite the size of the country

>>14012797
I find there's varying degrees of ramen, but there's only two kinds of pho. Good pho and garbage pho, with no gradient. There's a place near my work that does good pho; the tendon is always perfectly cooked.

>>14012976

Exactly. With pho you always want your broth to be clear and you serve them with the same rice stick noodles (banh pho). You either get it right or wrong. Ramen comes in all types of cloudiness and the type of noodles are wheat flour instead of rice. When you add in different tare seasoning, oils and toppings you can see how it lends itself to being produced by a fuckton of different shops with their own recipe.

>>14012010
feel like a fucking king getting the tonkatsu special with some sake at lunch

>>14013038
Damn that is some good looking ramen. When I lived in Tokyo this was my favorite style. Just fucking super high quality shouyu with similarly high quality toppings. Multiple types of chashu, great menma, GOD TIER ajitama... Fuck. So good.

>>14013038
>>14014326
Look at this bowl of ramen. It is literally sexually arousing.

>>14014330
Sometimes simple is best. Shio ramen with sansho pepper oil. One of the best things you could ever eat.

>>14014334
How about another bowl of top tier shouyu with some duck chashu?

>>14012817
The same thing again, a year later.

I spent some time in Japan, so I believe so. The biggest difference between Eastern and Western ramen is the broth itself. It's so much more complex in Japan, to the point where all Ramen I've eaten back stateside has just been bland. With the exception of the So-Japanese-They-Don't-Speak-English Ramen places

>>14012594
i hate most wojak variants at this point, but have to agree with this

>>14011918
>Ramen
You mean chinese noodles that were made in real china? No.

But we do have handmade chinese noodles.

gross and racist, sweden. build more nuclear power plants.

I have and I'll admit I wasn't a fan. I actually prefer instant ramen.

I don't know what the fuck asians to do their eggs, but that shit is straight nasty.

>>14011940
Why do people photoshop her eyes to look like that? Like what's the point? Do they just want her to look crazy which doing this discredits her? Shes literally a high school kid who took advantage of a situation at a hot moment. Shes fizzled out and any mention of her is usually just an attempt to create a buzz out of a dead meme.

>>14011918
Do self cooked Ramen count? Because it´s not that hard to make 2-3 Types of Broth and mix them together.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a website where i can purchase good noodles for a creamy miso paitan pork belly ramen? I used to get nama noodles from yamasho, but no longer have access to the distributor due to 'rona, but my staff and a lot of the regulars really miss this recipe. I think it would be a nice treat to make a batch to share with people, but i would need to get the noodles out of pocket and I'm not sure where to get quality noodles in non wholesale for restaurant quantities. Any advice would be appreciated. Thx /ck/.
