Whole Foods has ramen?!?
Breakfast of not so much CHAMPIONS...
I like eggs what.
Instant breakfast
Using up some fried fish
Desperately trying to reduce portion sizes.
Yellow noodles (alkaline cooked spaghetti) and my tonkotsu broth
Breakfast.
Breakfast.
My first miso. If you refrigerate the broth it is solid. So much porkfat.
Mis en place. Gotta stay organized.
Apparently I was hungry. Sous vide tenderloin and sous vide pork belly.
Aromatic oils, katsuoboshi salt and Ivan's shoyu tare.
See the quarter inch of oil on that soup? That's good eatin'.
Dressy instant.
More leftovers from ramen party.
Menma. I almost wish I never learned how to make it.
The process of making 6:30 eggs has been so rewarding.
Raw egg yolk in broth and noodles is a simple luxury.
Tsukemen obsession.
Using up more stuff from ramen party. A tenderloin goes a long way.
Shoyu broth, rice noodles.
Snackssss
Myojo instant tonkotsu.
Rice noodle tsukemen.
Goro ramen, OKC
Found some chili oil. And maybe some undercooked pork?!?
Still obsessed with tsukemen.
Someplace in Seattle.
Arashi in Seattle.
Curry udon. Pretty terrible.
Rice noodle tsukemen. I had started using a stew of veggies and then using an immersion blender to make it thicker. Not the best technique.
Corn noodles. Nope.
So many eggs.
My fresh noodles.
Best ramen ever found in a thai market.
Komé is my homie.
Tsukenen from tatsu ya austin Texas.

Im literally eating while watching this and saying, jeeze im so hungry
radamusprime
I have a lot of random talents but my best talent is making people really really hungry.
luckylonk
This is like 65% more than I expected. Woah.
radamusprime
I know right. I made myself hungry and now I'm at tAtsuya.

Damn how did you learn to make this, looks delicious.
radamusprime
Took a bit of time and research. Luckily the research is yummy

Naruto, is that you??
ihavewaytoomanyfavourites
My first thought
TerritorialRotbart
Who else would eat this much ramen?
jenniii
i have those blue and white chinese looking bowls lmfao
radamusprime
I bought them when I tried to make pho. Pho is a tricky devil to make.
jenniii
it takes fucking forever that broth. i made it one time, turned out pretty decent but just insanely time consuming haha
radamusprime
I think I spent like 90 dollars and bought several dozen pounds of beef knuckles. Spent all day cooking 4 bowls of pho.
fudgycurmudgeon
Damn I thought I loved green onion. Your love is on another level.
radamusprime
My wife loves when I come back to bed with garlic onion breath. And since I slurp noodles it's all over my face. I try to regrow scallions
MattHasLanded
I live down the street from Tatsuya on Lamar in ATX and it's incredible.
radamusprime
I'm thinking I'll be there at like 1:30 tomorrow if they are open then. Otherwise I gotta start making broth now...
MattHasLanded
I'm glad they're doing the full menu all day now, too. Have you tried any of the cold ramen, yet?
radamusprime
Not yet. I love cold ramen dishes too. Hmm tomorrow could get expensive....

So yes. Goldie eats phó
fiddlewheelx
Dude, ever tried poaching eggs in the soup? Ive had quite a few lucky hits with that!
radamusprime
I have! Classic Einstein maneuver. I have done well with that one. I love soup poached eggs. And if you mess up? Egg drop.
fiddlewheelx
Doesnt matter, had eggs! :) my favorite additive is yellow onion, finely chopped!
radamusprime
I have seen some recipes in Japan where they soak the yellow onion to take away some of the bite and bring out the sweetness
Searic
Them soft yokes! The best and only way to have eggs. Sadly the west doesn't really do them like that in ramen places due to salmonella fear
radamusprime
I messed up once and soft boiled eggs from a gas station. never never do this.
Searic
Fresh soft yoke is the way to go, new eggs and just been cooked is best
hadtochangemyusernamesomyhusbandwouldntfigureitout
I read this as you ate Soft boiled eggs from a gas station.. as in you bought them like that. My stomach flipped
MiLK42
these remind me of the "a part of this balanced breakfast" cereal commercials. without the ramen, it's still a solid meal (meat, veg, etc.)

@JackZwiebel dis some fkn ramen mate

The solid stock is from the gelatin in the bones too, means you made a good one with proper bones :) my favourite ramen place does a 1/2
shmooface
Mushroom ramen with mush stock and spinach noodles. I always add pork belly tho! Ramen is king!
radamusprime
Yeah my unseasoned broth is usually in the form of bricks in Tupperware in the fridge. You scoop out each portion with an ice cream scoop
shmooface
Heck yes! I reduce mine down like crazy and keep it frozen in ice cube form. Mind you that's French (ish) stock. I haven't tried ramen yet
radamusprime
The deep dark secret of ramen is that it is at its core really strong bone broth seasoned heavily to the palates of the Japanese with noodle
shmooface
Neat! I know it's supposed to be white tho, and French is as clear and dark as you can make it
Lefthandturnsignal
I prefer it being a fried egg over a boiled one
ZebraCockSandwich
same. I fry sunny side up in toasted seseme oil, JUST enough to harden albumin, never flip, toss in hot broth to let it finish cooking. YUM.
radamusprime
Sounds good too. I'm Filipino. I love fried eggs
W0wSuchupv0te
OP that ramen looks fantastic. How do you manage the high sodium levels though?
[deleted]
[deleted]
ICantThinkOfAU
Just because it's traditional doesn't mean it's low in sodium. "Traditional" ramen is pretty high in it because of the stock and ingredients
ICantThinkOfAU
I mean it's MUCH better for you than the stuff students often buy obviously, just saying being better than that isn't the same as "low" 2/2
radamusprime
I had to kind of knock it off for a while. I did go to a doctor during this ramen tsunami and was tested as hyponatremic (low sodium) haha
californiapoppies
That second one made me wet
radamusprime
It is mostly liquid, so... yeah. It's from the local Whole Food. Probably ships to your door now for $79 a year.
neighborhoodhugdealer
If @OP ever thinks about visiting Oahu I've got a ramen joint or twenty to hit up with ya. 6:30 eggs are good, though I do 6:00 personally
radamusprime
I like em in that range. I do 6:30 bc I usually forget to hit the timer once the eggs are in so I do 6:00 and figure it's about 6:30.
mendrak
I'd like to hear them, I go there fairly often but live on a different island.
radamusprime
I wanna go to Oahu
HideyoWifeHideyoKids
Damn I want to start making ramen now. Any suggestions on where to get everything?
NJAW
Unless you live in a larger city it's impossible to find affordable real ramen noodles which is the most important part.
NJAW
Everything else you can find or make from scratch in a grocery store anywhere.
radamusprime
Your Asian Mart will have most of the stuff you need but most everything is at my local HEB grocery store. I might be really lucky though
de1337
MUTHAFUGGIN H•E•B This former Texan is mad jelly. I never thought I'd love a grocery store more than most of my family.
radamusprime
HEB never fails me. Bamboo shoots and mirin? Sure. spicy korean ramen? maybe. Farm fresh eggs? yup.
moraismeep
As someone with allergies to wheat and dairy, suggestions for making a ramen? ;^;
radamusprime
Sure!! My favorite noodles that are wheat free are the thai brown rice noodles. They come in little portion packs too.
radamusprime
The soy is hard to replace but if you can use vital aminos to avoid wheat I'm sure that would work.
moraismeep
o thx! I've always wanted to do more ramen because it seems 1 convenient to do the prepwork ahead of time and just throw leftovers together
radamusprime
It does take some prep but it is a GREAT way to deal with leftovers. A lot of ramen not pictured here has meatballs, salad greens etc
AMET1014
Holy crap! Do you eat anything else?
cyno01
One time in college i had pizza for 17 meals in a row.
thatswhatyouthink
I once ate mushrooms every day for 30 days.
TheMuteDoge
What kind of mushrooms though?
thatswhatyouthink
Yes. That kind.
TheMuteDoge
radamusprime
Quite a lot else. Im thinking I am lucky to only be moderately obese.
ImClearlyInsane
NEED. NOODLE. RECIPE. ASAP.
TheRicM
Drink some water yo, ramen has lots of sodium
mallywanders
Probably lose some weight too- you've got 3 risk factors for kidney stones. I say this as an overweight person looking to avoid more
mallywanders
Kidney stones by reducing sodium, increasing water, and losing weight, because kidney stones HURT worse than childbirth.
fcknOOPS
Have you given birth?
tacolandslide
@OP I'm gonna need some recipes. This food boner isn't gonna go away on it's own.
secondgoaround
I know. I came in my mouth scrolling through those pics.
Bootsy81
They look great but honestly they seem to mostly be ramen, spring onions, eggs, whatever meat you have around.
bwizzle360
Make ramen, add stuff, take photos for internet points, repeat.
radamusprime
Truth. http://uncommonramenchannel.com

imkawaiibatman

Keep us updated or something @OP. Cheers.

I have severe writers bloc. And when I get stuck I make ramen.
thezombiearrrrghsforthee
Then where are the recipes????
TheGingerBeardedBiologist
As do I but I just sit around all day browsing Imgur and playing games. Want to trade procrastination hobbies?
pluto2
Most of the recipes I have seen can be somewhat intimidating, requiring a lot of ingredients I dont have. Do you know of any simple ones?
tacolandslide
Does that mean that if you try to write down the recipe you get stuck and just make ramen?
radamusprime
That is precisely what that means
markerDee
Pls persevere?? Or just start recording when you start making and talk through what you do
kidtutty
I want to believe you but there's a receipt/invoice book in like every other picture..
radamusprime
True, most days ramen is breakfast. Now i'm trying to lose weight so no more ramen breakfasts...
neverfinishescomments
Now I miss japan....thanks ... but really though make a book of recipes. I'll buy that
radamusprime
Aw thanks man. I miss Japan too. Every day. And ebburi naito.

Ramen_Lord is the man. His recipes are the basis of all my ramen. His understanding of dashi is far superior to mine.
radamusprime
He is quite meticulous with an advanced palate and has spent significant time in Japan and his recipes are based in memory
JohnnySupYo
You know your ramen very well.
radamusprime
Thanks man. It's a fun hobby but bad for the waist line
