Made a large batch of chashu. Recipe called for simmering in water with aromatics and then simmer again in a separate sake/soy mixture. Tasted the initial cooking liquid and decided to make a broth with it instead of dumping it. Added hondashi, gelatin and mixed it with an immersion blender. Surprised it went from almost clear to white after blending. Used the leftover sake/soy mixture to marinate eggs. Reduced same liquid to use as a tare.

Was definitely as easy and efficient shortcut compared to simmering pork bones for hours

    Also, bonuspoints for not writing “tonkatsu”.

    What kind of noodles do you use for authentic ramen at home? What would the wavy ramen noodles be called??

    Love some ramen shortcuts. I add dashi + gelatin to my chicken stock for a quick shoyu, too

    Seriously? That bowl looks fully intentional. 😍 And I hate you officially now for making me such a loser for making semi-homemade ramen. 🤣
