Today's task is to cook the ramen pack that I bought at the Meidi-ya Ramen Fair that just ended.
From the fair, I bought this pack from a ramen shop call Yoshimuraya (吉村家), a Yokohama ie-style (家系) ramen. Said to be the origin of the ie-style ramen, Yoshimuraya has on the average 1500 customers per day. Amazing!
The pack contains 3 servings of noodles.
Taking a closer look at the noodle, Yoshimuraya uses thick straight noodles.
And the tonkotsu soy sauce soup comes in 1 packet....
Putting it into a bowl, coincidentally I've created the yin-yang pattern out of the 2 layers of soup and oil pastes!
And the soup is done by adding about 200ml of boiling water. The layer of oil is pretty thick.
Next, the noodles.
Preferably the water should be boiling hot. But it is hard for the fire to be so strong at home most of the time...
After 3 mins and tested that its al dente, I drained the noodles in a sieve...
Putting the noodles into the soup, and topping it with long cabbage, santouka char siew, spring onion and seaweed... voila! My original Yoshimuraya Ramen.
With the char siew ready on hand, it was actually quite simple to make it. Its just like instant noodles, except that the noodles are not fried noodles but raw noodles, and the soup is more proper.
Buying such a ramen pack is quite a good way to enjoy near restaurant standard ramen in the leisure of home. I found the cooking process fun too, that I can "act" as a ramen cook for a day.
I'll challenge myself to make the tamago next time.
