homemade ramen

Best homemade ramen period: pig bone miso ramen.

Best homemade ramen I actually recommend making because pig bone ramen stock takes, literally, 12 hours and $12 to make 4 litres of: niboshikonbudashi shio ramen.
My aunt's recipe for niboshikonbudashi shio ramen is fantastic. Now that she's dead and my cousins don't really care about their Japanese food heritage (too bland, they say), my brother and I carry on her recipes in our respective lives and families. While I agree with them that a lot of Japanese food is sorta bland, they dislike even the foods that my immediate family likes like Okinawa-style curry, Tokyo-style curry and sake shioyaki.

My niece loves niboshikonbudashi shio ramen. She likes to make slurping noises while she eats it.

You monotonistic, simpleton.

>>4100057

I can recommend some outstanding ramens but the ones for making? Sorry, can't help you there.

My favourite cheap fast food when I was in Japan was gyudon... and it still is! Sukiya came to my country!

>>4100079

I live in America now as does my brother. I have never been to Japan, though my brother has and we are not Japanese. We are from Italy.
I think America is too large and regionalised a nation to say that one likes or dislikes American food. For example, I hate the food of the Lehigh Valley and New England (with few exceptions) but love food of the coastal South and Lousiana. I don't much care for Carolina barbecue but love KC and Texas (when Texas uses pork; fuck beef barbecue). I hate almost everything typically associated with the midwest and recombinant cuisine, but like the pizza variations found throughout the country. I hate anything that's California fusion but like Southwestern/New Mexican and TexMex cooking. I hate the vegan soy latte bullshit of the northwest but like the admittedly awful sounding coffee milk of the northeast (made from coffee syrup, which is similar to chocolate syrup... only coffee instead of chocolate).
It's very segmented.

Well, they don't have a store in my city but when I'm in São Paulo, hungry in a range of 1km of a Sukiya store I will eat there.

>niboshikonbudashi shio ramen

say that quickly 3 times

It's kinda self explanatory from the name: dried fish and kelp broth. Also dried shiitake and fresh ginger and several scallion whites. I put a handful of the niboshi fish, a sheet of kelp that has been washed until pliable, a handful of dried shiitake, a handful of scallion whites (I use the greens for serving the soup) and a fingerslength piece of ginger into a pot.
Add 3-4 litres of water, bring to the boil, lower to a simmer, skim foam as it forms and let it cook until reduced by half.
Strain then set aside.
Remove stems from now-rehydrated shiitake.
Slice shiitake.
Make kinpira shiitake; set aside.
Make shioyaki of some kind, usually salmon; set aside.
Boil noodles then drain and put into [a] bowl(s).
Top noodles with shioyaki salmon meat, some menma, kinpira shiitake and chopped scallion greens. Also fish cake, if available.
Boil broth, salt to taste, then top noodles.
Place fish-skin cracker that's made as the by-product of shioyaki into the bowl(s) vertically.
Serve sprinkled with aonori or sakefurikake.

The earlier you get out of the closet the easier it will be for you

"In that direction," the Cat said, waving its right paw round, "lives Anonymous: and in that direction," waving the other paw, "lives tripfags. Visit either you like: they're both weeaboos."
"But I don't want to go among weeaboos," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all weeaboo here. I'm weeaboo. You're weeaboo."
"How do you know I'm weeaboo?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

Makes the broth bitter and/or cloudy or so I've been told. I dunno. That's what my aunt did. I notice when Koreans make the same sort of broth, they don't really care about the foam. Beats me.
I just skim the foam because that's how I've always made it. It could be something unnecessary, but I'm not willing to test it.

but anon, everyone here is a weeaboo faggot

Heat up some stone and when your ramen starts to lose heat just place the heated stone in your bowl. Dont forget to slurp real hard becuase it enhances the flavour/aroma of the ramen.
