My salvation from depression in a bowl.
I'm a war veteran who had to find a way to cope. Cooking saved my life and my sanity. I found solace in the secondhand instruction of Julia Child and Gordon Ramsay. Ramen is my ultimate comfort food. Well, right next to lurking the FP, of course. Stay lovely, Imgurians; eat something delicious.

Pork, roasted tomato, soft boiled egg?

A war veteran? Did you serve in the... Salivation Army? I'll leave.

liyafae
Keep on kicking ass! That ramen looks beautiful. My escape is art. We can do all kinds of cool shit against depression and be proud of it.
LilFern

SunshineRose

What's your hands down favourite thing to make? Feel free to inbox me a recipe you'd recommend.
BassClefChef
I make a mean Chicken Tikka Masala. Time consuming to do correctly, but worth it. I'll put a recipe together for you; I mostly wing it.

Mine to when depression hits that bowl soothes my soul

Why are there tomatoes in your ramen?
mynameisnotalice
They seem to be dried and depending on the broth it might be a very delicious and novel addition.
paeches
because he likes tomatoes in his ramen. what do you like in yours?
Wish2be
How do you julienne that green onion thing? T_T
BassClefChef
A good, sharp knife and a little time and care. I usually cut the scallion in half lengthwise and spread it out flat, then finely slice it.
Wish2be
I'll try to do this
BassClefChef
Then you can achieve the curly aspect by plunging it into ice water.
IRipTheBiggestFartsOnMyWifeInBed
That looks fucking delicious

That soft boiled egg. Ooooo
fistermatic5000

JamsE

yagisaama

DanielBoringcliffe

How do you do the eggs and broth? Been expirimenting with Ramen recently, and still working on those two.
NuVanDibe
I personally will softboil the eggs and then marinade for 12-24 hours in a mix of soy sauce and pork broth
trashcondor
For a pleasant variation I like to use soy sauce, lemon juice (or rice vinegar), and mirin. Reduce, then marinade the eggs. Subtly sweetsour
currentlyincleveland
Sous vide for amazing eggs. Or just do it on a low heat stove like i did. Broth is an art. I do tonkatsu. Pig hock, chicken, +veggies
IMadeThisForMyBoyfriend

arthurherkiknowthemayor
I do my eggs for 7 mins then marinate in soy sauce, mirin, and sake. For broth I either use Ivan Ramen's or the FoodLab tonkotsu.
Naturally90
You cook the egg separate basically.
NotMyDefaultUserName
Boil the eggs for 5/6 minutes, depending how big they are, then peel them under cold water so they don't cook anymore, marinate in soy sauce
NotMyDefaultUserName
ginger, spring onion and mirin for 8-12 hours in the fridge. Enjoy!
Diezen
I usually take a big enough metal soup ladle and spread a drop of sesame seed oil, and cook the egg in it on top of the boiling water.
Diezen
And let the water go on top when it starts cooking. Makes for a nice uncooked yolk to break in the ramen.
BassClefChef
Broth is part dashi (Fish/Seaweed stock), part tare (reserved fat from cooking meat, plus flavorings). YouTube is your friend, like me.

Put enough water to cover your first knuckle in a saucepan. Steady boil, gently add the eggs. Cook for 6-7 minutes. Ice bath. Peel. Done.
DocEllis
Will use!
dolphindreamsandsatan
That's great knowledge! The creaminess of the quasi--runny yolk is magnificent
Wish2be
But why would i wanna cook my knuckle? ._.
DogeShibeson
By far the tightest and most succinct explanation I've heard. All I'd add is that letting the eggs come to room temp makes it more reliable.
dolphindreamsandsatan
Thx!
paeches
i just found this procedure via food wishes (https://youtu.be/GPFHv5SKbZ4), and found it interesting. (1/2)
BassClefChef
Chef John knows his shit.
paeches
do you think it'd work if eggs were on a strainer and not in the water? also, i highly recommend food wishes. (2/2)
Stostri
Good stuff. I crack the eggs right in while the broth is still boiling. Doesn't look as pretty though.
