What's your go to easy broth?
I love making a bowl using leftovers as toppings, but then I don't have a broth. I'll use just Better than Bouillon maybe adding some miso/butter/chili oil, but just getting a little bored of it and looking to change it up but still be easy and versatile to go with a variety of leftovers.

Tonkotsu Ramen with Low-Hydration Noodles (37%)
Greetings.
I've made ramen noodles before in the 40-ish or higher range without too much attention to the actual hydration levels. Yesterday, I decided to drop down and try some in the low-hydration range and decided to start at 37% measured accurately by weight with a calibrated scale. It wasn't as difficult as I feared, but I do have a repository of skills from making A LOT of other noodles of various kinds to draw upon.
Although TBH, I was a bit intimidated and frustrated at first with the dry crumbly mess that was my "dough" after mixing the ingredients. I hand combined them on my counter and "kneaded them a bit" rather than using a mixer.
I decided to make tonkotsu from scratch to marry with the noodles along with making chashu, ajitsuke, and mayu. I'm very happy with the outcome with will definitely be doing a lot more.
For sheeting the dough, I use an attachment for my Kitchenaid Professional stand mixer.
I cut my noodles with an olllld (20+yrs) Imperia SP150 machine and spaghetti cutter that has an electric motor. The old SP150 is 100% stainless steel with no plastic anywhere including inside where there's a lack of plastic bushings, etc. that most have nowadays. Even the arm that holds the motor on is metal. (Ok fine.... The motor housing itself has a plastic shell.) I prefer this old Imperia spaghetti cutter best over all others because it actually cuts round noodles and is all steel. Most modern cutters do not. They cut square noodles because it's easier to machine square grooves vs round grooves into the cutting wheels. Technically a square noodle isn't spaghetti but rather tonnarelli or alla Chitarra. However, most people don't pay attention to that detail. And of course ramen should be mostly round as well.
On my rollers, Setting#5 gets it to just the right thickness for my spaghetti cutter, which I believe is 2mm. However, I roll it down to #4 which results in not only a slightly thinner noodle for my liking but results in a noodle that isn't evenly perfectly round causing it to curl and twist a bit when it cooks. I'm guessing it's 1.7-1.8mm
Next, I'm going to try 34-35% hydration.
Thanks to u/Ramen_Lord for contributing so much to this excellent subreddit and his collaboration with the SeriousEats team. And thanks to the SeriousEats team as well. Used a lot of details from both sources and many others in putting this together.
Some additional details below for any interested.
Noodles:
* Bread flour @ 12.7%
* Added vital wheat gluten
* Used Kansui Type 3 from Ramen Supply Company
* Vacuum sealed in bags to hydrate for 4hrs @ room temp
* Rough shaped into a sheet before putting in bag. Then worked it a little more before sealing. Then used pasta rolling pin to slide over plastic bag to thin out and make more even while under pressure.
* Sheeted 5-6 times through rollers
Tonkotsu Broth:
* Trotters (only) par-boiled for 5min, cleaned, and then pressure cooked for 4hrs. (equivalent to 12hrs boiling stove top)
* Put in a pot on stove to simmer an hour to add aromatics and others flavors plus emulsify broth
* Umami, spices and aromatics added on stove top: back fat, leeks, green onion, yellow onion, MSG, mirin, white miso paste, ground white pepper corns, salt, garlic, ginger
* Strained first with colander then second pass through fine mesh sieve
Chashu:
* Fairly traditional teriyaki type marinade
* Rolled, tied, and sous vide @ 140F for 6hrs
* Cut then charred with kitchen torch when done
* Eggs added to bag with pork belly after soft boiled and peeled to make ajitsuke
* Tried leaving the lining pf the pork belly on to retain moisture but will remove it next time. I didn't appreciate the texture and slight flavor
Mayu:
* This was my second attempt at mayu and unlike last time worked out well
* Started off with canola oil and then added toasted sesame oil after
* Further pulverized the gritty garlic bits with immersion blender
* Used a spoon to manually remove some of the grit from the bottom but not all
* I purposely added more sesame oil than

Tips for making Chintan Broth
I have made several successful Paitan broths (Torikotsu, Tonkotsu, Gyukotsu) multiple times. So I figured it was time to tackle a clean chintan broth, and decided on the doubutsu kei recipe from the e-book, using a pressure cooker.
I blanched the pork neck bones, skimmed again after adding the chicken backs, then into the pressure cooker for an hour with a 30 minute natural release. The broth was fairly clear, so I transfered it over to the stove with aromatics. Unfortunately my attention was drawn elseware for 5-10 minutes, and in that time the soup started to boil rather than simmer, and it started to became cloudy. Even after bringing the soup back down to a simmer, it just got cloudier and cloudier until it was basically a paitain. Despite there being method to clarify soups in the book, I didn't want to bother to see if I could fix it as I quite like paitan soups.
Obviously the biggest mistake was letting it boil, but outside of that was there anything else I could have done differently, maybe use a slow cooker for a hands off 7 hour simmer instead of speeding things up with a pressure cooker? Maybe trimmed some of the fat from the pork neck and chicken backs before tossing them in? Any advice is appreciated, thank you.

Jinya Ramen Seasoned Egg
Just tried Jinya in Atlanta for the first time a few weeks ago and I'm obsessed with their seasoned eggs! I begged the waitress and a cook for the recipe and I got a very basic reply of soy sauce, mirin, garlic, and chives. I tried making some at home but I have to be doing something wrong because mine taste only of soy sauce. Does anyone know how to make their ramen eggs? I just can't tell if it's the recipe I got online with what ingredients they told me or if I'm doing something wrong making a few eggs for myself versus a huge batch that they make. Any advice would be very much appreciated!!

most probably consider traditional as to my taste liking. So wasn't truly a "black oil". A deep brown color. Seemed perfect in my soup.

Help for creating a bowl
Hi everybody
First thing first, I'm a total noob in ramen. I already made noodles soup I called ramen, but I was really wrong, like someone that didn't get the depth of the concept (no tare, no aromatic fat, bad cooked toppings), it was 7 years ago since my last "bowl". Since, I'm studying all I can about it for my redemption. I started with a youtuber, I got the basic concepts of the 5 elements, youtubers and books later, it drive me here. So it's natural to ask for guidance.
So I need help to create a bowl of ramen. Can you help me please?
The idea is simple, and maybe a madness, a pizza inspired ramen bowl. I'm in a place that isn't well deserved in asian products, so I have to adapt some stuff
- Tonkotsu broth with bacon dashi and aromatics (onion, garlic)
- Shoyu tare
- Manitoba flour noodle
- Toppings with chashu, olives, mushroom, sliced dried tomatoes, fresh basil
- Aromatic oil from the dried tomatoes (they are sold bathed in olive oil, thus infusing tomato flavor)
So that where I am.
- I want to add some tomato concentrate in the broth or the tare. Is it a good idea?
- Can I mix some pork fat with the tomato oil to make the taste lighter? (This oil have a strong flavor)
- Where can I add some cheese?
- Am I a fool? XD
If you read it this far, thank you.
