Ramen Report #1: Disaster-addled Tonkotsu

Howdy! This marks the first post in my ramen making journey. For those unaware, I am on the grind to become a ramen chef. I have a background in restaurants so I’ve always been cooking, but ramen is so far out of my usual comfort zone that in spite of loving it so much I’ve never really been able to nail it.

With that short introduction out of the way, I present what I like to call my “Disaster-addled Tonkotsu”, a pork bone broth with a rich soy sauce base.

So to build flavor in a bone broth, you typically want to boil it for long periods of time, as in 8-12 hours. With this recipe (an amalgamation of Joshua Weissman’s Tonkotsu broth with Keizo Shimamoto’s shoyu tare), I elected to go for 12 hours. In the beginning, it calls for the pork bones to boil alone for 10 minutes in order to remove all the scum that comes out of them. In my infinite wisdom, I thought that I could just put the bones in before the water started boiling. When the scum started to release from the bones after a few min of simmering in hot water, I thought “oh, that should be fine. that’s a lot of scum, it’s not like it will release even more.” So I drained the gunk water and put the bones back in the pot with fresh water. Then, I added the vegetables. As it came to a boil, I walked away for a bit, confident that I was ready to begin the very long passive boil part of the cooking.

Unfortunately this ended up not being the case, as when I returned, the vegetables were coated in scum.

Panicking, I removed everything and put it in a fresh pot, water and all. This ended up being my second mistake - the first of which I learned 12 hours later after tasting the broth that I added too much water when I refilled the pot. Since the vegetables had already released some of their flavor into the first batch of water, and with the excessive amount of water in the second, there was too little flavor to infuse amidst a vessel far too vast. I started to feel the pressure mount - I had promised my entire household that I would have ramen ready for them later that day (I finished boiling at 7 in the morning) and I didn’t have the means nor the money to get the ingredients I needed on short notice, nor the time to start over.

Although the situation seemed hopeless, I had a rescue plan for the broth. Since it still had that signature tonkotsu broth flavor - albeit very watered down - it could still be salvaged with some clever cooking techniques. Here’s what my rescue operation looked like:

1) fry ground pork in a large nonstick sauce pot with salt, grated garlic, grated ginger, and the whites of a green onion until pork releases its juices into the pot.

2) stir in a healthy helping of miso paste (I used white miso) until the fat and miso make a sort of slurry. Let miso toast for 2-3 minutes.

3) pour in the light pork broth slowly, mixing in the miso.

4) warm the broth until it starts to boil.

With the ground pork and miso base in the pot imparting its flavor into the 12-hour Disaster Broth, it helped to enhance and bring forward the more unintentionally subtle taste of the broth in a short time frame, making it taste much closer to what a tonkotsu broth should (although a bit miso-y). By the skin of my teeth, I had managed to avoid disaster. Tasting the broth, I audibly went “mmm!” because I did not expect it to be anywhere as good as it was. It tasted just shy of restaurant quality. My roommates seemed to agree with me; they loved it! I don’t think I ever received that much collective praise at any other point in my life… haha… 😂 💀

Well, with all that being said - although it’s my chimera of a recipe, it’s very much other people’s work (plus my salvage efforts). Because of that I don’t feel comfortable taking credit for the recipe, nor sharing the instructions. Instead, I’ll just ask that all of you check out these very talented chefs on youtube, as their videos contain all the necessary steps and knowledge. Thanks for sitting through this ramble!

Long story short, FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS!!

I just applied to culinary school for the pastry arts program.

I've been putting this application off for years. I'm both relieved to have done it and anxious that I won't be accepted.

How could anyone care about food in a context so contentious? Food is indicative of how we go about our everyday lives, connect, and relate to one another. I hope this sparks curiosity to learn more about Palestine and Gaza beyond the context of the current genocide and conflict.

Make your own meals!

Eating out gets expensive, doesn’t taste as good, and isn’t good for you anyway!

It’s more rewarding, more fulfilling and your husband will thank you 😉💕

In which I created a Sherlock-inspired afternoon tea for myself! For the Foodie February episode of @threepatchpodcast, we each made an afternoon tea inspired by one of the characters of BBC’s Sherlock. I chose Mycroft! And I created a menu that I thought he would enjoy. Watch the video to see how I put it all together. 

The menu included: (1) salmon sashimi and caviar amuse-bouche (2) raspberry scones, served with lemon curd and clotted cream (3) salmon and avocado open-faced sandwich with wasabi and seaweed cream cheese (4) sausage roll (5) lobster roll (6) coronation chicken finger sandwich (7) tiramisu with lady finger cake and Irish crème liqueur. 

Please consider supporting the channel by liking the video and subscribing! That would help me a lot! <<My YouTube page>>
