RAMEN SCHOOL #8 | How to Make Tonkotsu Ramen

[@guillermodariozzi]

Am I the only one waiting every week to hear Adam say “today in ramen school we’re making homemade noodles”? I used to love ramen, after this series my feelings for it have gone beyond love! Thanks Adam!

[@nemohomealone]

I feel you bro. Adams show is kinda meditating. His voice is so lovely I could listen to him teaching me how to make noodles forever!

It was like watching a short film. That's very beautiful. I would not cook it at home, but to watch how others cook ramen is very interesting. This video is art.

[@markmiraflor478]

You are not just a master chef, you are a master instructor. Not only did I make a perfect bowl like yours but I did it twice and now on my third adding a dash of my personal touch already. You man are amazing at your craft. Keep it up and inspire more people like me

[@AHG1347]

Yes Ramen School is back! I love this series so much, and it's a big reason why I became so passionate about Ramen.

[@Sinister_Monster]

This isn't just cooking; this is art. Amazing!

[@BillysWild]

Food should be art and love. The sharing of food is love, and should be done artfully.

[@AndrewPelRicePaddyHeroes]

The ending bit, when he's putting the Ramen together is so emotional.

[@Tiapinna]

At 16:03 you brought a little tear to my eye. This is the best ramen video of the best ramen kind you can find on the internet.

[@nattga]

This explains why ramen isn’t exactly a cheap meal. One day I’ll attempt at this and appreciate it even more. Thank you.

[@joeclaridy]

You won't be sorry. I will tell you this what you put in is what you're going to get out of it.

[@ismu34]

In Japan ramen is one of the cheapest meals you can get, I don't know how they do it. Maybe because they sell so much.

[@youtubedeletedmyaccountlma2263]

In North America you can get fake ramen and expensive 💀

[@Lockdown335]

The best food out there is cheap cuts like offal or non prime cuts turned into things like this IMO

[@copyninja8756]

You can make so many bowls with these ingredients

Man, this is the most relaxing cooking channel out there - they're usually very fast paced, which is great, but man, I love this style.

[@eriwhitelaw4528]

I am Japanese who live in the UK. Can I say your tonkotsu recipes 100% correct!! 😮 I can't wait boiling time so I always using a slow cooker. Then finally, just 3 minutes boil tonkotsu on the stove😅 By the way, I was surprised why do you know like a professional recipe! You are nice!

Warm cooker meaning pressure cooker? I'd love to try my hand at it and I have a pressure cooker at my disposal.

[@y3lo_756]

This style of cooking video is just something so relaxing and audible. You can really see Adam's dedication to both the audience and his throughout the video. I feel its not only because my home australian accent, but because he cares about the cooking process in almost every video. These videos are honestly amazing for me

[@PiroMunkie]

Adam: * calls the foam "scum" * Also Adam: * gently places the "scum" into the water with the same care as placing a baby in its cradle *

[@TheAndersDanilet]

It’s broth scum, not rebel scum. Rebel scum is a different story 😂

[@Sheepy007]

It literally is scum, the original meaning of the word. The use as a derogatory term is derivative of that original meaning

[@BillysWild]

Adam does everything with gentle grace.

[@aaronbuck6161]

You know alot of people would pay good money for that type of treatment

[@vonniebunny8049]

Today i woke up early to make this tonkotsu ramen for my husbands birthday and it was positively marvelous! If you're planning to try it I highly reccomend this method for the pork broth! And his technique for chashu pork. (I did pork shoulder) My husband loves ichiran tonkotsu and he has been missing it so much since this pandemic so thankyou mr liaw i was able to make him super happy today. ^^

I came here just to watch a youtube video about making Tonkotsu Ramen.... But ended up watching 20 minutes of art. subscribed with pride. Thank you!

Dear Sir. I have watched your videos for some time. I must say: You explanations are excellent and very educating (and very good presented/filmed). You are going to be my superior reference for japanese & chinese food from now on. I look so much forward to try all these recipes. Many greetings from a Danish fan 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

This has been the most amazing and informative collection of videos and I cannot thank you enough! Your calm manner and comprehensive yet easy to understand explanations of how AND why to do each step makes this such a valuable learning resource for anyone trying to cook ramen. I've been obsessed with ramen for about 2 years now and these videos are my new favorite resource to share with other aspiring ramen nerds. Thank you so much!!

I made this for my girlfriend tonight and I can’t believe how great it came out! You are a master of ramen and it is incredibly refreshing to see how passionate someone is about ramen! I love this series and please never stop being amazing at this simple pleasure Adam ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@marckunke3689]

Adam's relaxed and calm way of explaining cooking is incredibly helpful in developing confidence to try things out yourself. Since I discovered ramen I always wanted to make Tonkotsu. Adam's instructions made it so easy to follow you cannot fail. The hardest part was the cooling down process but I had enough ice prepared ahead. My mother and I tasted it yesterday. She had never before had a ramen bowl in her life and was excited she couldn't stop praising it. :-) Cheers from Germany!

[@NissanRacer90]

Thank you for this! 4 days of labor and the prize was unlike anything I have ever eaten! Mistakes were made but that only means that the next time will be even better!

[@psionic6126]

Adam, watching you is like meditation. Thank you for doing this. The way you teach us is so unique. I can really feel your love and passion and that leaves me speechless.

[@sigiluvsu]

YES!!!!! FINALLY!!!!! SO EXCITED I finished that video smiling from ear to ear, thank you so much for posting this and making me drool and also inspired. I fear making my own will have to wait until after the pandemic, but it will be all the sweeter for the wait. Your thoroughness, clear explanations, and obvious love for the craft make this one of my favourite youtube channels, and one I seek out when I need inspiration or simply a reminder of how food cooked with care and attention to detail tastes so much better!

[@micheltibon8872]

Not only is this a master class in preparing ramen but also on how to make a video. I prepared chicken soup earlier this evening. The left over I put away for my tomorrow´s lunch at work. Watching this video I now decided to level up my lunch with a small bowl of white rice, some snow peas, a boiled egg and two slices of Chashu. The Chashu was already in my fridge, a left over from last weekend.

[@johnwelter7081]

Thanx for another Ramen School! I'm pretty excited to try this one out! Most recipes I see for Tonkotsu ramen are very broad, but THIS is what I wanted to see. Extreme attention to details and meticulous precision.

WTF Adam!! Why didn't you tell me this would be one of the best things I ever made!! My kids LOVE it, I'm making my 2nd stock in 2 weeks and they want me to individually freeze it so they can have ramen on demand all the time. We're hooked, I'm so happy we found you!

Just wanted to let you know, that yesterday i finished my first ever ramen batch after 3 days of work and it turned out just perfect. I made a shoyu ramen for which i kinda pieced the recipe together myself from all of your ramen series. (For example the dashi was made from Kombu, bonito and dried shrimp). Thanks a lot for making these videos and giving homecooks like myself the courage to make such awesome food!

[@williamfowkes187]

I was a tiny bit skeptical at first because the first time i made tonkotsu it wasnt great. The recipe i used was just a simple soy sauce sake tare. I didnt have menma. I didnt make a garlicy oil. Didnt grill nmy chashu. Didnt use the right pork bones. But after watching the whole video its clear youve done absolutely everything right. I hope to acheive this level of perfection at some point in my life.

Ok I came back here because I watched all your videos 100 times and followed your instructions to the letter! My kids love ramen and me being Japanese, I’ve actually never made home made ramen before. I was nervous because it seemed so intricate and if I failed I may lose the right to call myself Japanese 😂 It took 4 days and a few weeks to collect ingredients but tonight we had Tonkotsu ramen and I almost cried. Literally I almost cried as I ate it because it is the most delicious ramen I’ve ever had! Better than any I’ve had in a restaurant and even better because I made it myself! All 3 of my teenagers were impressed and can’t wait to have a 2nd bowl tomorrow. I swear by these videos, if you follow them exactly, you WILL get an amazing bowl of ramen!! I even made my own noodles! THANK YOU for these videos, such a fun thing to do during quarantine and I’m super proud of myself ❤️👍🏼🍜

[@zakharl1938]

I made my very first ramen today! 🎉 Thank you Adam-san for all your time and effort in revealing the secrets of the "Soup of the Gods." I'm still struggling with the eggs, though-it’s the peeling that's driving me mad! I’m convinced it’s all about their freshness. Next time, I'll hunt down the freshest eggs possible. My family was so excited about the dish that they’ve officially assigned me ramen duty from now on. 😅 Now, let me walk you through how the magic happened in my kitchen: First, I boiled the broth like I was summoning a divine power. The noodles? Well, they didn’t resist-cooked to perfection. 🍜 But the eggs? Oh, the eggs! Peeling them was like trying to peel the skin off a grape… with a blindfold on. They stubbornly clung to the shell as if their life depended on it! 🥚 Then came the toppings: a little bit of this, a little bit of that, pretending I was a ramen pro. My family thought I had ramen superpowers, but really, I was just hoping nothing went horribly wrong. In the end, the ramen was devoured, and now I’m left wondering how I’ve become the household noodle master. 🧙‍♂ What do you think? Should I keep fighting the eggs or just serve them whole next time? 😂
