Ramen Homemade : Preparation of broth for ramen Soup base

1. In a casserole we put 2 liters of water and, when its temperature reaches 65º C, add the kombu seaweed. Hold for 30 minutes. After this time remove half of the water by straining it and reserving it. Put the casserole back on the fire, this time only with 1 liter of water, and raise the temperature to 85ºC.
2. Add the dried tuna powder or dried tuna scales, let stand for 5 minutes at 85ºC and remove the casserole from the heat. We booked this katsuobushi broth.
3. With the rest of the seaweed water that we have reserved, we put it back in a new pot on the fire. Take the broth to 40ºC, add the clean shitake mushrooms and keep at 40ºC for 30 minutes. After this time remove the casserole from the heat.
4. In an espresso pot add the mushroom broth, the shitake mushrooms themselves, the seaweed broth and previously strained dry tuna (discard the kombu seaweed), the knee bones, the cut chicken, the carrots, the Chinese chives or spring onion, the peppercorns, the coriander, the salt, the soy sauce, the Thai fish sauce, Mirin and sake.
5. The chicken will be added with all its skin as it will give a lot of flavor to the broth. Once cooked we can defat it without problems, so we will not worry a priori about the fat that the chicken may have.
6. Close the express pot and put it on the fire. We cook the broth of our ramen for about 2 hours. After this time let it cool and store the broth in the fridge. Preferably from one day to the next, so that the fat rises to the surface, solidifies and we can easily remove it the next morning.

Ramen Homemade : Tips for a pacifier ramen

• In order not to mess up too much and show that we can make a more than decent ramen at home, the only accompaniments of the broth that we are going to add are those that we can get very easily, eggs, pork loin, noodles for ramen and spring onion. Simply with these and a category broth, we will have a ramen to lick your fingers.
• On this occasion I have used beef knee bone that brings great flavor to the broths. Preparing these liquids with a base of kombu, shitake and tuna, we get a luxury ramen broth.
• Although the process is not complicated, it is true that it takes time. Luckily nowadays we can help ourselves with new technologies and cook the ramen broth in an espresso pot instead of spending 5 or 6 hours attending to the casserole.
• With this process we achieve an intensity of flavors and aromas that will make our ramen a luxury item. The other option is to prepare an express ramen using some quality broth … although the final result will not be the same.Ramen Homemade
