Notes about this book

  • abengal on January 08, 2022

    Shio Tare, p32 I think perhaps there is too much salt in this recipe, certainly I was not brave enough to add the quantity stated. Also, my stove would not let it simmer at a low enough temperature, after 15 minutes making a half quantity of the recipe there was barely any liquid left so added another cup of water. Perhaps the dried mushrooms and kombu initially soaked up a disproportionate amount. After that it was fine.

    The original Tokyo style ramen was not topped with bean sprouts. It was simply topped with fish naruto, chopped green onions negi, bamboo menma and maybe for more expensive 80 yen ramen compared to 50 yen ones in the 50’s a thin slice of pork chasu, nori, or half egg. Bean sprouts in ramen is more recent introduction by some places.

      I made half of the recipe and it reduced a lot. Also, all that salt didn't quite dissolve in the liquid, probably because it reduced so much. It did give good flavor to the ramen though.

  • Hakata-style mountain of scallions ramen

      Very good. The amount of scallions sounds insane but it works.
