Broth: Dashi made up of dried tomatoes, shiitake, porcini, toasted kombu, and applewood smoked dulse. Seasoned with a shio tare. Very umami, satisfying but light.
Noodles: 64g noodle flour, 30g semola flour, 5g tapioca starch, 1g VWG, 1g salt, 1.5g kansui. 33% hydration. Cooked these for 50 seconds and was really pleased with the snappier texture. Previous iterations the bite was too soft, but I think I’ve fixed that with the added gluten, lower hydration, more potassium carbonate, and shorter cooking time.
Toppings: Ajitama cooked for 6 mins, 25 seconds and seasoned with shiro shoyu, mirin, black pepper, kombu, ginger. The egg was perfectly gooey with a slightly sweet flavor. For the tofu, I brined it in salt water, then drained and marinated with spices, a little tamari, and kombu. Finished it with a quick burn under a kitchen torch. Roasted/marinated carrot, cherry tomato, green onion rounded out the bowl.
Aroma oil: Minced garlic, shallot, and dried carrot cooked in a refined coconut & canola oil mixture.

Looks like an abstract art painting
I’m craving it 🤤
Gorgeous. Would love to try.
Awesome bowl itself, by the way.
