That looks so good, even tastier looking than the ramen I got in Tokyo recently.

Do you have a recipe you’d be happy to share?

all hail the mighty ramen_lord. his work and testing is EXTENSIVE and it’s about as close as you can get to authentic japanese ramen if you pair tare, broth, and toppings appropriately (he has authentic pairings listed within the book for traditional, regional, and new wave bowls).

Hell yeah! Mirin, soy sauce and sake I presume? I wanted to ask you about the pork belly— I’ve never seen that style before. I usually roll it up, sear and finish off in the oven before slicing it. What was your process?

yes! also some smashed garlic cloves. i love garlic so sometimes i’ll add it in the egg marinade.

for the chashu, this was my bowl. i did the same thing you described, followed by broiling it for a crackly exterior, then cooled it and sliced it and cooked the slices in the oven with some leftover marinade right before serving. during the cooling and slicing, some parts were so fall-apart tender that i got some slices that almost looked like thick slabs of bacon and i took those pieces for myself. left the pretty pieces to my friends i was serving haha

Well now I'm grabbing ramen for dinner.

The pork looks incredible. Is that from a flattop? oven broil?

1

braised in the oven in the marinade, cooled to room temp, then in the fridge. then sliced and broiled in the oven just before plating.
