    Week Night Special: Ramen

    My kids wanted me to try making Ramen since that is their current favorite food right now. Apart from the noodles, I made everything else from scratch.

    Clear Bone Broth: Did not have pig trotters or neck bones available. Bought spare ribs since they have the most bone. Roasted in oven and then placed in pot with water for 12 hours, barely simmering.
    Tare: Steeped kelp and shitake mushrooms. Added soy sauce and mirin. Simmered 1 minute and then removed kelp. Simmered an additional 5 minutes, strained and reserved.
    Essential Oil: Infused 1 part fat from roasted ribs + 1 part grapeseed oil with minced green onion, minced ginger, roasted peppers and crushed red pepper.
    Toppings: Blanched carrots and bok choy, soft boiled egg, chopped green onion, grilled chicken and nori.
    Noodles: Fresh Sun noodles (Miso 1995).
    Overall Results: Came out really good. Bone broth was clear and the Tare gave it a good umami flavor. Didn't think the essential oil adding anything to the ramen. Bottom line - a lot of work. Took me 2.5 days + research.

    I bow in your general direction...

    PS: Sun makes ramen kits which are pretty good too.

      As mentioned in my post, a lot of work to make from scratch. I’ll have to check out those kits.

    That's awesome. Nice work. I had ramen for lunch but cheated by just using packaged ramen. I added leftover beef short ribs from last night and some scallions.

      I currently have 4 packs of Ramen Oriental flavor. This pack got some homemade smoked pork sausage.

        Jerod Broussard There is no shame in packaged ramen:

        Hell, I've reached the point in my life that it takes me 45 minutes to make a pack of instant ramen.

        Good stuff, TripleB. Thank you for not hard boiling your eggs. It hurts me deep inside when I see a bowl of ramen without soft boiled eggs.

          A fried egg is a good option if soft boiled is too difficult.
