I like the dip ramen with gyokai broth soup next to tonkotsu.

I'll vouch for Wasabi Restaurants too! I absolutely love their ramen. I could drink their broth straight out of a glass - delicious! (The one I frequent is Wasabi Chi over on the northeast side of town. Last I knew the Ramen wasn't listed on the menu, but all you have to do is ask!) And, dang it, now I'm really hungry. lol Last edited by Elves on Wed Oct 10, 2018 10:13 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Guess I have to turn in my weeb card, because I've never had any sort of ramen, instant or otherwise (or Japanese cuisine in general I guess). I've watched the few ramen episodes Binging with Babish has done, and while I consider myself an eater who's open to a lot of things, I feel like I'd have been better off not seeing what actually goes into the stuff. Dried fish flakes and pork bones you have to skim slime off of are...not really doing it for me.
 It's the same reason you never, ever look up what goes into a hot dog.

You definitely have to turn in your weeb card, and also your "open-minded eater" card. Nearly every pre-packaged food at the supermarket has far more disgusting preparation steps than that. Last edited by jsevakis on Wed Oct 10, 2018 10:33 pm; edited 1 time in total |

I LOVE a good bowl of authentic ramen. There’s a fantastic place near me that has the best miso chashu ramen I’ve ever had.

Feel compelled to do a shout-out to Ajisen Ramen and thier wonderful Tonkotsu! I know it's a chain, but I've not had better and about any of their ramen is so good to have on a cold(-ish) day in SoCal...

Sometimes I think I'd like to eat ramen, but as someone who doesn't eat much meat, and doesn't eat seafood or eggs (except omelettes and scrambled...) there isn't much hope for me.

I can assure you bonito flakes and pork stock are very pedestrian and you should not be freaked out. XP |

If you are interested int he history of ramen check out this excellent book:
The Untold History of Ramen: How Political Crisis in Japan Spawned a Global Food Craze by George Solt https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520282353/the-untold-history-of-ramen BTW some ramen place in the US actually use egg in their noodles so if you have an egg allergy be sure to ask first. Traditional ramen noodles do not have eggs in the mix. |

Interesting to see ramen actually originated from China.

Actually, dried anchovies are a very common stock ingredient in other cultures, and using meat bones of any kind is a pretty normal way of preparing stocks and concentrates, so if you've ever had beef/chicken broth/stock, you've pretty much already had the Western equivalent. Really not all that horrific.

Justin, if this anime thing doesn't work out, you can become a food writer!
So, funny story, I keep kosher, and over the last 30 years, sushi has taken the kosher world by storm. You can barely go into a kosher supermarket (or pizza shop, which, yeah) without seeing a sushi section. I've seen sushi labeled in Yiddish for the Hasidic market, it's really wild. Sushi fits in well into the kosher world because fish is considered pareve, or neutral, neither "meat" or "milk", and can be eaten with either type of meal (whereas meat and dairy are not allowed to be eaten in the same meal, and Orthodox Jews usually wait up to about 6 hours between eating meat/fowl and dairy). This means that Orthodox Jewish families have started to swap their gefilte fish course for sushi before eating their chicken soup at their Friday night Sabbath meal. Unfortunately, there is a (little known outside of Orthodox Jewish circles) prohibition against *cooking* or eating fish or fish-derivatives directly with meat or fowl (actually, their are some Orthodox Jews who hold one can't eat fish directly with dairy, either. Not all Jews put lox on their bagels with cream cheese!). Meaning, one can eat a fish dish before or after a meat/fowl course, but not at the same time, or on the same plate. Since so many Asian and Southeast Asian dishes mix fish flavors with meat and/or fowl, they are very hard to replicate for the kosher consumer (and that's not even getting into avoiding the pork or shellfish elements). But there is hope yet! The first kosher ramen place in NYC opened up on the Upper West Side this past February. I don't think ramen will ever be as popular as sushi here, but I'd love to see more variety in kosher cuisine (even though, or especially because I personally lean peskatarian/vegetarian).

Huh, Ajisen also has a couple of locations here in NY, namely in Manhattan Chinatown and Flushing. While I happen to think their ramen is nothing special with so many other better places around here in the city, I had no idea their chain likely originated in SoCal. The more you know! |
