TRANSCRIPT

  • As a person living in Japan, I feel sad at how ramen is treated in the west. It is considered the epitomeof junk food; a greasy, carcinogenic mess, lacking in any nutrients whatsoever and only to be eaten as alast resort or as a college student...Here in its home country, ramen is, if not the healthiest thing around, at least something that you can eatevery day and not get sick. And of course, the taste is incomparable.

    This recipe will teach you how to make true ramen from scratch, with little more cost than ainstant ramen packet (depending on what you do for the soup). It does take some extra effort,but if you enjoy cooking and know how to knead things, it should be fine!

    Step 1: Gather your ingredients

    How to make REAL Japanese ramen from scratch http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-REAL-Japanese-ramen-...

  • You will need:3/4 Cups Flour (see below)1 egg~3/4 tsp salt (or to taste)~1 tbsp water (depending on flour and humidity)

    In Japan, we do not have all-purpose flour, only low gluten and high gluten flours, which we have to mix.If you do have easy access to these flours, you should mix about 1 part low gluten to 2 parts high gluten.Otherwise, just use all-purpose flour. It's not vital to the noodles.

    This dough doubles or even quadruples very well, although the dough becomes harder to knead.

    Step 2: Combine.

    Mix the dry ingredients, make a well in the center, and beat the eggs and water inside.Then slowly combine the ingredients together.

    Step 3: Knead that dough.

  • Once your ingredients are somewhat combined, dump the stuff onto your CLEAN counter and startkneading. It should be a little stiffer than bread dough.The dough is ready when your hands become fairly clean and the dough does not stick as muchanymore (and when your forearms are sore). When it is the right consistency, you should be able tolift your hand and the dough should fall off after about a second.If it's too sticky, add some flour and knead it in. If it doesn't stick at all, add some water a few DROPS ata time.

    Step 4: Rest.

  • The dough needs to rest before we stretch it, otherwise it will not make nice thin noodles.Put it in a damp cloth and find something to do for at least 30 minutes in the summer, up to 2 hours in thewinter.

    Step 5: Stretch it!

  • Take the dough ball and (if you are making a double or triple portion of the recipe) break it into a singleportion (Otherwise we'll get a massive dough circle). Sprinkle some flour generously over the dough,take a rolling pin or roller and start stretching it. I suppose you could use a ravioli dough stretcher thingtoo, but I don't have one of those.

    If you can, get it to about 1mm in thickness. If it starts sticking, get some more dry flour onto there.

    If it starts springing back to its original shape, let it rest for a minute or two.

    Step 6: Cut the dough!

  • Get the sheet of dough and put it onto a cutting board so you don't damage your counter. Spread flourLIBERALLY on the surface, because if it starts sticking when we cut it, our ramen will be ruined. Fold ittwo times in the same direction, each time spreading flour on the surface. finally, get some flour on thetop. Don't worry, all that loose flour will wash off when we boil it, and the flour in the water will keep ournoodles together also.

    Once it is folded in a strip, start cutting it. A wide square knife is best, but any knife will work as long asit is big enough.

    Periodically spread some more flour. It won't hurt anything and it's best to be safe rather than sorry.

    Once you have a pile of cut noodles, toy at them with your fingers to unfold them. toss them around withsome more flour, just be careful not to break the noodles.

    Step 7: Boil it!

    I hope you got some water boiling already. I always forget. Anyhow, once the water boils, salt it, thensprinkle the noodles into the water. if you dump them in, they will stick. Mix the noodles around with

  • chopsticks.

    As long as the water is hot enough, they should start floating.

    I usually boil them about 4 minutes, depending on how thin I got the noodles. The best way is to justtaste the noodles and drain them when they're just soft enough. You can also boil some vegetables ormeat with the noodles to heat them up, just make sure to not cool the water down too much when youput them in.

    Step 8: Add some soup and eat.

    This is the part I myself could use some help on. I just mix concentrated chicken stock and soy sauce(or miso), but if you're desperate you can use the flavor packet from instant ramen or something. Do notjust use soy sauce or miso without any stock, because it will taste like crap. And for the love of god, donot use tomato soup or any of those American concoctions.

    If you make or have your own stock, then yes, just the stock and some seasoning will work perfect. Youcan also make tonkotsu soup with pig bones, but that amounts to about a day of simemring andreducing, something I am too lazy for.

    Spinach and Chinese cabbage (hakusai) both go great with ramen, as does most kinds of mild meat.Youcan also add corn, peas, or any other manner of frozen vegetables. Eggs also go will in the soup, hardboiled or mixed in.

    Finally, let us examine the price. The eggs, flour and salt should come to no more than 50 cents.Depending on how much you spend on your soup, you should be able to get a decent bowl of ramen forabout a dollar in ingredients. Not much more expensive than a instant packet! You can, of course, reallygo crazy on the condiments.

    Yeah, not to step on anybody'stoes, but I personally feel you'renot missing much with Naruto.It's an anime about ninjas...Andkunoichi, for those who don'tknow, that's the term for womentrained in ninjitsu. Not a fan ofthe show. Don't flame me fordisliking it.

    I'd also like to ask the author aquestion while I'm at it. Is thereany way to make the noodlescurly? I know that shoyu orsoy-sauce ramen typically usescurly noodles, and I'd like to trymaking it as close to the typicalmethod as I can.

    maeloulou (/member/maeloulou/) in reply to cosborne3

    I actually made mine curly bymistake, i simply left them out alittle and they dried while being alltangled together and when icooked them they kept that kindacurly shape! I'm sure if you placethem so they are curly and letmost of the moisture evaporatebefore you cook them (or placethem in your fridge or freezer)then they'll remain curly afterbeing boiled!

    Let me know if that worked!

    Thekiller578 (/member/Thekiller578/) in reply to cosborne3

    try curling the noodles before you boilthem, i noticed that they stay the samewhen you boil them, i could be wrongbut its my guess

    one-bowl portions. In other parts of Japan, they add kombu (kelp) or toasted dried fish to the stock.In frozen Hokkaido, they use miso and lard. I think it's best to kick it old school:

    Take some pork spare ribs and place them in a heavy pan. You can add the outside layers of someleeks (welsh onion) if you like. Cover with water and bring to the boil. A grey scum will rise to thesurface. Dump the water. Cover again. Dump. Cover a third time, reduce the heat and put a lid on.Leave it blipping away for a few hours. Remove and discard the pork, then strain the stock. Seasonwith salt. Add cooked noodles, boiled eggs, blanched spinach, shredded leeks, nori sheets and/orthin slices of roast pork.

    the color difference mightbe due to the differencebetween the kinds of eggsyou use. in japan they havefresher higher quality eggsthen most people do in theusa. though now a days youcan get our hands on freerange eggs, it's even betterif you can get to a farmer'smarket and get farm freshfree range. the yolks are aa very bright and rich color,almost orange.

    andross (/member/andross/) in reply to oddzerozero

    Yolk color has little to do with eggfreshness. The yolk will actuallyappear lighter with fresher eggsas the albumen clears with age.The chicken's diet affects colormost. If you feed a chickennothing but white corn, the yolkwill be almost white.

    sergeant82d (/member/sergeant82d/) in reply to andross

    I'm sorry, but that's not quiteentirely correct. We raise chickens(along with Geese, Ducks, aTurkey, Cows, Pigs and two largegardens... Sheep are next!), andthe albumen is the egg *white*...the yolk on our (free range)chickens are much much darkerthan any commercial egg. And theflavor is vastly better also.

    As you say, the diet that a heneats is what affects the yolk color -and taste! - more than anything.What a roaming hen eats is variedand includes grass, weeds, seeds,bugs, and whatever interests them.

    Well it depends, if you buy eggsfrom a supermarket, the eggsturn out more pale, white, if youraise chickens you can be surethey will turn out yellow! Its calledthe difference between"homemade eggs" and "storeeggs" how we call it in ourlanguage ;D (Portugal)
