The Search for Ramen Broth Recipes
Sunday, June 20th, 2004So my ramen broth tonight was pretty bland and disappointing. It happens to armchair chefs like myself fairly often. I’m not speaking about instant ramen, rather, the kind of ramen made with fresh noodles and ingredients. (Yes, i’m a Tampopo fanatic) Therefore, I am officially on the search for good ramen broth recipes without MSG. Interesting shoyu recipe (looks Western) Miso broth recipes Pictures of various broths
The traditional ramen broths are tonkotsu, a stocky broth made from pork and chicken, shoyu or soy sauce broth, and miso broth.
As a side note, seeing over-simmered shrimp balls inflate to 4 times their normal size was a visual treat on par with the time i microwaved marshmallows as a kid.
