Got some ramen gifts for Christmas, first ever attempt at making some good ramen, i overcooked the egg.

What do you guys think?

Was all that work worth feeling like a cool hip guy for 30 seconds before you ate half of it?

That looks really good bro! 10 out of 10! I hope you enjoyed it. I'd like to sit down and have a bowl with you :)

It's not that hard to make ramen, anon. The trick is to do some of the prep a day in advance, just like how when you make pizza you make the dough ahead of time.

>>15305901
Hard to tell if you marinated the egg, but I would definitely recommend it in the future. I like to use Justonecookbook, they have a recipe for ramen that includes ajitsuke tamago.

BTW anon I would recommend doing a 7 minute egg for ramen. If you time it it will come out perfect every time.

Good luck and have fun!

the eternal question: make a lot of eggs and hope one peels easily; can also try to pinhole method; steaming them instead of boiling seems to be better for peeling

Thanks friend. I've had a long, hard day and these bullies are really getting to me. I put up a hard front but I'm actually quite vulnerable. I'm just glad I have a friend like you to come to my defense.

Ramen is a delicious food. I like to make it from a mixture of pork and chicken stock, simmered for 10 hours. I make a mentsuyu with soy, sake, mirin, and katsuobushi, and that's basically the soup accounted for. Braise pork belly in soy, ginger, scallion, and sugar with water to dilute. Then marinate a soft boiled egg in that braising liquid.

There's not much else to it, but it's completely delicious.

I don't find it too difficult, maybe try peeling them under a stream of running water? You can roll the egg around on a hard countertop to try to put small cracks in it. And just be gentle.

I watched a video earlier where this surgeon peeled a raw egg without breaking it. Figured if someone can do that then I can manage to peel a boiled egg.

I'd rather see another McChicken (TM) thread than this unstable faggots tryhard filter edited pics of ramen of all fast foods

I recommend piecing a small hole in the bottom of the shell to make peeling really easy. There are unitaskers that do this but any needle will do.
Also, once you're done boiling your eyes dump them in cold water to stop the cooking process. I find that 8 minutes of boiling time yeilds the perfect yolk but feel free to experiment.

make a batch and toss them in a marinade for 3 days. the marinade is easy to make too:

1 cup water
½ cup soy sauce
½ cup sake
½ cup mirin
⅛ cup sugar (or a little more if you like sweeter eggs)

you can also set aside some marinade and toss some canned bamboo shoots in there for about a day and boom: easy imitation menma.

>Got some ramen gifts for Christmas
For some reason I laughed hard at that because I can't really imagine what they would be.

Not raggin' on you bro, I think your ramen looks good, I'd just like an explanation of the gifts thing.

If you enjoyed it it's all that matters but since you're asking :
> Overcooked egg
> Shrimps look straight out of a plastic supermarket pack
> Gigantic pieces of scallions torn apart with a dull butterknife
> Bell pepper out of a jar
It looks alright anon but with a bit of experience you might make great ramen someday. The broth is usually the most overlooked aspect, what did you use for yours ?
Also look at :
>>15306379
Although I usually put some rice vinegar and a lot more water in my marinade. You can add some star anise and a jalapeño or two as well. Cook the eggs for 6 minutes tops from the moment they're dropped in the hot water to the moment when you remove the water and let them drown in cold water from your tap for perfectly nice gooey yolks. The marinade curing is just extra at this stage.
