HOW TO MAKE A SUPER SIMPLE SHIO (SALT) RAMEN

[@criteriumgoat6525]

Man, thank you for the content, you're quite inspiring considering that you make ramen but you're not necessarily an expert yet, so the part where you figure out what works with ramen is really cool, plus you're cooking for people who want to make ramen but are beginners or don't have the necessary ingredients, so the alternatives you give are really nice. Especially your video about the dry pasta alternative. Great work, man! I hope your channel grows bigger. +1 sub!

You weren't kidding about that cook time! That egg looked absolutely perfect. Definitely saving this recipe for later. 👀

[@WayofRamen]

Thanks very much for watching!

[@ceebee3083]

Actually the thing that really makes the egg peel easy is not the hole nor the age of the egg but the temperature shock room->boiling water->ice bath. It's been researched and documented in Kenji's book.

[@DerSaa]

Sorry, this is not right. I tried to make temperature shocks and it did not work with fresh eggs...

[@ceebee3083]

@@DerSaa Well, Kenji's method always worked for me... You can try giving this chapter a read

[@angelbaeza2623]

[@MetalsirenIXI]

Age of the egg makes it easier to peel, older eggs peel much better.

[@pinkmonkeybird2644]

Thank you! I made this almost-instant ramen for lunch, except I used very strong vegetable stock concentrate and some mushroom “dashi” (I know, it’s not really a thing, but I had some staunch vegans I needed to feed) that I had. I also made your mind-blowing chashu tofu instead of microwaved meat, and that made it all very nice indeed. I was the only one who got to enjoy the 7 minute eggs, though. I know it’s not as good as making almost everything yourself, but the effort+time/hunger satiety makes it a good choice some days. Thank you; I really appreciate your ability to take us all along on your ramen journey. I’ve learned so much along the way.

RIP leftover spinach at 6:36

This is inspirational. The soup looks like it'll go well with wontons as well. Somewhere in between the simple chicken broth of the northern wonton style, and the too overpowering dried flounder/shrimp heads/pork bones of the Hong Kong style. Thanks for sharing.

[@WayofRamen]

I'll need to do some wonton videos in the future! Good stuff!

I grew up with those flavors.. the nostalgia is the briny taste of canned sweet corn topping and cabbage soaking up all the flavor...

[@WayofRamen]

Ramen is food for the people

[@hyunwhanjoe3477]

My first attempt at this the soup ended up being too salty but the second time without salt was a lot better. I used a Calnort's chicken stock cube for the chicken stock. One downside for the recipe is that shiro dashi seems to have a short shelf life once opened.

[@Sunokanse]

I agree with your wife.

Why don't you just reverse the process? Spinach first, then egg.

I just made this yesterday and I have to say it might be my new quick cooking favorite! With other methods (not instant) I have to make or heat the broth in one pot then use a second pot for noodles. Not here! Also, I didn’t have the shiro dashi so I used a little bit of hondashi granules. It was so delicious topped with left over pork roast, bok choy and an egg. Thank you!

[@WayofRamen]

Glad it worked out for you

[@ps.6023]

thanks to this I made the most AMAZING Shio Ramen! Super simple and just needed shio dashi, lard, scallion oil, and sesame oil along with some store bought stock and some salt. not SUPER salty as I had originally imagined at all. I can't wait to try shoyu ramen.

You could just boil a good amount of water with dashi powder (hondashi) as we call it, add salt and let it reduce. I'm Japanese, so I know what I'm talking about. Hope ya have a great bowl of ramen.

[@WayofRamen]

[@devonhansen7705]

Most readily available chicken stock powders/cubes are seasoned western-style with things like celery, rosemary, turmeric, and sage. Is this an issue for the final outcome of the flavor for a quick broth like this? Are there Japanese stock powders you can recommend that have as few vegetable/herb seasonings as possible?

[@mdizzle7034]

So Shirodashi is worth trying? I'm thinking to atleast try and make a decent chicken stock but i want a quick and easy way for the dashi. Glad i finally saw you use some in your video

[@kythlyn]

Has anyone been able to find a good instant shio ramen? I feel like miso, shoyu and even tonkotsu have pretty good options out there (Nissin Raoh, Maruchan Gold), but the only semi-decent shio available is by Sapporo Ichiban and it just isn't quite right. Looking for that Tokyo Shio flavor in an instant noodle! ...or at least as close to it as possible. Does it exist?

[@PanagisTzanetatos]

Is there any way to store the noodles for longer time without compromising to much of the flavor? and Do you think there any good common replacement for the dashi?

[@WayofRamen]

If you freeze the noodles right after you make them, it will hold up better, but the color will still be off. Noodles without eggs hold up much better but they are harder to work with and sometimes require a special machine to pull properly. As for replacements for the Shiro dashi, I test some alternatives but they don't taste the same. I have other recipes with different ingredients which I plan to film when it gets a little less hot here.

[@PanagisTzanetatos]

@@WayofRamen Thanks for the answer, i will be waiting for those recipes

Sesame oil is really strong. you can use chicken fat or i've made some other aroma oils on the channel. the one in the tori paitan video is vegetable based and really good but takes a long time to make.

[@supersploof]

I can only source bonito dashi stock powder, how do i use this compared to liquid shiro dashi?

If you really want to do a shio ramen, check out the 'simplest shio tare' and use that with some Chinese chicken stock powder.

[@supersploof]

@@WayofRamen if i use stock powder do i still use the chicken oil?

[@Mellathor]

I cant find dashi here anywhere. But i found fish stock powder. Does that work too? Also if i replace the salt with soy sauce - you think it would ruin the taste?

That would all work. Check out the easy shoyu ramen videos on the channel too. The latest one i put up doesn't require too many fancy ingredients.

[@Mellathor]

The Way of Ramen cool thanks! Its so hard to find proper ingredients here where i live. I watched a bunch of your videos but this is the first one only with powders. Heck i cant even find Lard! How emberassing. But i might make one of those oils you made on other vids. Thanks man!

I dont have shiro dashi, but i have hon tsuyu - can i use hon tsuyu as a substitute for shiro dashi for this recipe?

[@WayofRamen]

I've tried before, it's OK but I would recommend the other easy ramen recipes on the channel.

[@JavierCob]

So how often are you making noodles? Do you make enough to eat the day after? Or have you done anything to prolongue freshness of middles?

[@WayofRamen]

What I do these days is make a batch of noodles and freeze them in individual portion sizes. That way whenever I make videos, I just take one out and cook it. They seem to last for a pretty long time in the freezer.

what can I use to substitute Dashi?

[@ChillWeezy]

Where can I buy the exact products that you have?

[@chaole1000]

Luckily, I already had the ingredients on hand when I decided to make this. It was really good, but it's very salty. I don't think additional salt would be needed after already adding chicken powder and shio dashi. Those 2 ingredients alone can send your blood pressure through the roof.

[@WayofRamen]

Yeah it's way too salty this was an early video. Just use the simple shio tare and the powders instead. Works a lot better.

[@GreenPenguinSliding]

Just made it and I completely agree, it was way too salty. Going to remove the salt moving forward with this recipe

[@alexpaww]

Sorry for so many questions, I got everything other than the shiro dashi. I just can't find it in Germany/Europe. Are there any alternatives?

[@WayofRamen]

For a shio ramen, check out the "simplest shio tare" video kzbin.info/www/bejne/f56mhoehmJZqldE and use that and an aroma oil with some instant chicken stock powder. Shiro dashi is hard to get.

[@alexpaww]

@@WayofRamen Thank you so much for your patient help! I found a bottle of "Kappou Shiro Dashi" in a store, and I hope that will taste good as well. It does contain soy sauce, but apparently that's not dark soy sauce.

[@noahhunt8575]

So, I have basic ingredients like green onions, garlic, ginger, temari, fish sauce, beef and chicken bouillon, and certain spices and some other sauces, what soup can I make with those simple ingredients? like most people have? I like making ramen but it seems to have an almost muted flavor. I don’t know what goes good with what.

[@WayofRamen]

Noah Hunt separate the salty components from the soup components. Use the Tamari, fish sauce and some salt to make a tare. It should be very salty, way too salty when you taste it on its own. Typical ratios for tare to soup is 1 to 10. So 1 table spoon of tare would be enough to salt 150ml or soup. Then make a broth with some kind of meat or bones and vegetables without adding any salt. You could even try a salt free store bought broth or stock. Then use your garlic and ginger to make an aroma oil. Fry the garlic and ginger in some vegetable oil until they start to turn brown then strain and keep just the oil. Then put some tare and aroma oil into a bowl then pour in some soup and find the right ratio that tastes good to you. Good luck !
