    Took a deep dive into flavor layering with this bowl! The tare was a sudachi scallop blend, bringing a citrusy umami punch, while the broth was a complex mix of katsuobushi, lemon thyme, ginger, shallots, butter, kombu, dried mushrooms, and tomato water. Used my own low-hydration noodles (recipe below) for extra bite and finished with homemade dehydrated tomatoes for a concentrated hit of sweetness and acidity. Really happy with how this turned out—clean, balanced, and deeply satisfying. Would love to hear thoughts or suggestions for refining it even further!

    **Noodle Recipe:**

    * 505g bread flour
    * 5g vital wheat gluten
    * 5g egg white powder
    * 178g water
    * 5g salt (or 5.1g for extra precision)
    * 6g Type 3 ramen kansui

    I think next time I am going to top with some seared red snapper or madai. Let me know what you think—always open to tweaks and feedback! 🍜

    Well, the way it is described sounds wonderful. One question. Does the lemon slice take away the sudachi essence? And is that the scallop in the middle there? Thanks.
