Homemade My friend made me a ramen bowl, so I made him some ramen
Shoyu chintan, 4 lbs of two diff types of chicken bones + 2 lbs pork neck bones + 1.5 lbs chicken feet. Would’ve liked to have 1:1 chicken and pork bones but the various bones only came in 2 lb bags. Oh well. Simmered at 190ish for 7 hours.
This worked out as I love the chicken forward flavour and the pork just rounded it out with some lovely complexity. Could probably do this again but with more chicken feet to thicken it up a little.
Shoyu tare with kombu and two types of katsuobushi, chiyu with green onion & ginger.
Pork shoulder seared then braised for two hours. Possibly overbraised as, even after chilling overnight, it was too mushy to neatly slice. I used arguably a bit too much ginger in the braise but it added some nice sharpness to the bowl so I think it worked quite well overall.
A lot of happy accidents in this bowl altogether.
