Penghui powder
Hi I am from europe and for some time i have been trying to create alkaline noodles. There are tons of recipes that use some kind of easy to find at local grocery shop ingredients but the original ones always mention using penghui powder. I know i can get it from the internet chineese stores but why are they not available here in the west? Is it banned due to health issues? If yes I can not find any article that would say that this powder i indeed harmful. Why is it such a hard thing to get?

Your favorite frozen ramen to get at the Japanese stores?
I’m going to start keeping frozen ramens in my freezer for the nights I really don’t want to cook or do anything/hungover, what are your favorites you can get at Japanese markets and grocery stores? I’ve never really tried any frozen ramens you just unfreeze in a pan and get soup. I’d rather avoid the ones that aren’t good up front and get everyone’s favorite picks lol

First ramen of the fall, Ichiran NYC. I had a bunch of points so I decided to treat myself (ended up ordering way more than I could eat, lol)

Want to learn how to cook good but simple pork belly to put in my ramen.
I had a go recently and it was ok but not great. I bought a strip of pork belly from the butcher and watched a bunch of videos on YouTube. Most were really elaborate ways which took so many steps and herbs, spices and other time consuming techniques. I found a kind of simple one that seemed to turn out really crispy and nice so tried it. The skin didn’t crisp up at all so I had to cut it off as it didn’t look very appealing. The rest of the meat was fine and I enjoyed it but it was nothing to call home about.
Does anyone know a good but no over simple way to prepare pork belly for ramen. Thanks x

What is that white ball shaped in the middle? And what does it taste like.

Kabocha Squash Ramen Experiment Fail
This was one I did way back when I was playing around with the idea of making ramen revolving around mostly vegetables, not vegan nor vegetarian, but it did not quite hit the mark.
It was supposed to be a thick soup base of katsuodashi with kabocha squash, think of squash potage, and the accoutrements were assorted roasted vegetables. I should have used an intense miso tare instead of the shio tare I had as this did not have the right amount of umami I was expecting and the flavors did not meld so much. Just meh.
