    “just don’t understand how it works”

    Ramen or reddit?

  2. Is that ramen? No. Would I eat it? Absolutely, and would ask for more.

    As a hint, try to boil eggs only for about 6 minutes, and after that put them into cold water. Then you’ll have an amazing runny yolk, which would elevate the experience markedly.

    Sorry, but it’s a no for me. That egg is boiled a bit hard. It looks wet, but the broth is only visible if you look hard enough, and it looks to be clear and not rich. Also, not sure what kind of noodles you used here, but it looks like spaghetti.

    6.0/10. Too much stuff for the bowl, broth not topped (not enough liquid to eat the whole thing), egg boiled to hard and not an Ajitsuke Tamago either. Nori is fine, as is the meat. Just do more broth, get 6.5 minute-eggs and marinate them before eating.

    that chicken looks bomb, is it like a peantu sesame chicken?

    I would like to take the portion of everyone saying no to it LMAO I’m not picky and it looks yummy enough

    As some hopefully helpful feedback:

    1. I am sure you have some broth hidden in here but it’s not enough. Can’t really critique it further as I can’t see it and don’t even know what kind you were going for. 

    2. Egg is wrong. Needs to be soft boiled. Would be even better if it was marinated but not totally required. 

    3. Nori needs to be toasted.

    4. Whatever meat you put on here is weird and distracting. try making some chashu or other complimentary meat portion.

    5. Picklwled carrot thing maybe? Could work as a similar substitute for pickled ginger. Looks kinda half assed though with all the different sizes though in there. 

    I would say it would probably taste alright regardless if there was more broth and it was a decent broth but there’s not even that so I can’t really meet you halfway there. 

  8. You made it at home. Awesome! I would totally eat this, but you’re in for a lot of (hopefully) constructive criticism. Keep at the home cooking! You’re on the right track

    I’ve seen fried rice that could pass more as ramen than this shit

  10. why the fuck did you use spaghetti on a bowl of ramen? get some wheat noodles. also, where’s the soup?

  11. Why is there pork strips? Or chicken, it’s a bit hard to tell what it is.

    Did you try to make mazesoba…?

    There are so many good and authentic recipes for ramen online. How did you arrive at this outcome? This is not any sort of Japanese food.
