I love the use of the tomato tare. Is that also used in meat Ramens?

Not really, but I guess it would be a nice new try ;)

This looks amazing, but I'm going to have to start with the basics. Here in the Cotentin (France) it's hard to find some of those ingredients.

To the rescue! I am preparing a post about basic staples ingredients to make Ramen, where to find and how to select them.

I am so happy you want to try this. I love when new people get started into ramen-making, though I understand it's quite hard to break the barrier as many items are difficult to find or to use.

Would a post like the one I mentioned help you? I am open to any suggestion!

That sounds like just what I need. A 'my first Ramen' post would be good too, for us Ramen virgins !

How did I not think about it.

Thanks for the feedback Mike!

I started the newsletter with the intent to reach ramen nerds like me, but I realize there's much more people that still have to approach their first ramen in this niche. I'll review my approach!

I've had sapporo style ramen and other veg variations, but haven't tried this one. Gonna have to give it a go the next day off

OMG! I bet it's delicious... I might try with a few already made hacks like the nut milk and some tomato water my mum gave me and didn't know what to do with. πŸ˜‡

Oh wow I never knew I needed a refractometer!

It's so obvious, who doesn't need it?? - β—‘ -

I love this rabbit hole you’ve led me to, there is also one for sugar called a Brix refractometer. They both look identical to a Star Wars gadget which again, forces me to need it. ✨

Oh thanks! So I am not the only one who thinks it looks like a laser sword handle!

Anyway: I think all portable refractometer are nearly identical. The basic scale of refraction is called Brix and - as far as I know - all refractometers go with it. Then most of them do print 2 different scales on the left and right of the grid, the left one being in normal Brix, and the right one being an approximation of "dissolved X in solution" where I have seen X being salts (for soups or idk salt water??) or sugars (for beer and juices). But I have seen so many other specific scales for honey, oil and wine!

It's a whole word and let's not talk about the digital ones!

Boy, that sounds like a lot of work, albeit the end result would be delicious. I think you would need to invite me over for lunch/dinner so I could partake. Just joking, I live in Australia, a bit far to just pop over.

It is definitely a LOT of work, especially if had to do it for just a couple of portions! Usually, I do batches (this one was for me roughly 7 serves) and then freeze it into exactly 350 mL containers, so I know each is a new serving later

Australia is quite far! Anyway, if you ever happen to travel through northern Italy, drop me a line, I'll invite you over for a bowl! - β—‘ -

Hola , Por Desgracia Creo Qué Nunca He Comido Ramen Y Veo Qué Tiene Una Apariencia Exquisita , Pero Si Qué Puedo Decir , Qué En Mi Casa Suelo Cocinar Sopa De Champiñones Y De Setas EstÑs Últimas Por Cierto , Cogidas Hace Sólo Unos Pocos Días En Estos Preciosos Bosques Qué Tengo A Mí Alcance Y Qué Decir De Los Tomates: En España Somos Grandes Consumidores Y El Mayor Productor De Europa , No Hay Mejor Desayuno Qué Un Buen Café Y Unas Tostadas De Aceite De Oliva , Un Poco De Tomate Y Una Buena Loncha De Jamón Serrano. Un Saludo.
