This was great!! The flavours were nice, there’s a hint of smokiness from bonito flakes + black garlic oil. The shoyu made my broth brown though… think I’m gonna buy white soy sauce in the future.

Looks wonderful! You can avoid that pale spot on the marinated egg but putting a paper towel on top of the marinating liquid in the fridge. That way, the towel soaks up the marinade and will cover the top while the eggs float!

Lessons:
I can use 5ml tare instead of 20ml to reduce the brown appearance, it’s salty enough that 5ml will still flavour the soup. 20ml was way too salty because I added a lot of salt to the shoyu tare.
My noodle fold sucks ass and the noodles kept slipping off my chopsticks. Need to get long wooden ones.
I should use a proper jar for the ajitama, I used a wide bowl + too little shoyu despite using a paper towel.
The bonito dashi can be stronger in flavour, rn it’s too subtle. You can definitely taste the smokiness, but I prefer bold flavours.
I shouldn’t have added my black garlic aroma oil with the broth – it’s not visible here. Adding it after makes for a better picture.

6.8/10 imo. Lots to improve on.
