I threw a Ramen Party
(...And I took terrible pictures. I'm sorry, the phone did not eat first) Just what I posted on the title - my husband had his 40th birthday, so I threw a Ramen party for him and \~15 of our friends.
What I made
Duck broth (7 qts)
Tonkatsu broth (8 qts)
Dashi (4 qts)
Shio Tare
Shoyu Tare
Curry Tare
Miso Tare
Fixins (made): ramen eggs, chashu, duck breast (just salted), menma, marinated wood ear, mushrooms, some aromatic oils
Fixins (bought): enoki, scallions, fish cake, sushi ginger, nori, noodles
What went well
All the ramens were soooo good. Thank you, Ramen_Lord and Rameneer for the recipes.
I think people generally liked being able to have smaller portions and try different ramens.
I also appreciated the chance to make things I wouldn't normally try with just cooking for 2 people.
We sprung for some larger disposable bowls, which was pretty key for the party.
I set up one station with noodles, tare, big fixins and one station with the boiling stocks and the lighter toppings. The flow was pretty good like that. Chashu was sliced beforehand and heated with a sheet pan under the broiler. I had slightly unfrozen quarts of stock to refill, which took a few minutes to get back to a rolling boil once replenished.
What didn't go well
I made too much food. I'm genetically predisposed to making too much food, but I definitely doubled all the tare recipes and prepared an 11lb pork belly into 3 chashu rolls, so yeah, too much food. I'm certainly not complaining, but you can survive on much much less. Single recipes of tare and only 3 tares would be just fine. One roll of chashu is sufficient
I bungled the noodles. These were new noodles and I was seduced by the $5 for sooo many noodles price tag. For the party, I needed a noodle with much more bounce and able to put up with some abuse. I should have also pre-made them before the party started, maybe throwing some oil in to keep the noodles more separate and grabbable. Would it be perfect? No, but I think it would have upped the quality for the majority of ramens at a large scale that would have worked better.
Happy to answer questions - thank you to this sub for all the help to make a really special 40th.

How long would a soy egg mixture last, if replacing the eggs?
So I've made a variation of ajitama eggs a couple of times for ramen, but I always feel like I'm wasting the ingredients for the marinade once I've used the eggs and have to pour the marinade out. I'm often only making them for myself, so I might only do two-four eggs at a time to use within 24-48 hours because I don't want to over marinate the eggs by leaving them any longer. Would it be unsafe to use a soy marinade mixture for up to 6 days if I put 4 soft boiled eggs to last 2-3 days, then once they are used, put in another 4 soft boiled eggs for 2-3 days? Kept refrigerated, obviously
The "recipe" I use, loosely based on ajitama recipes with extras added, no real measurements:
Garlic, my current batch with 1 clove, fresh, finely chopped (usually I use dehydrated garlic flakes)
Dehydrated onion flakes
Dried chilli flakes
1 tsp sesame seeds
Maybe 1/4 cup of prechopped, frozen spring onion
Small amount of mirin, maybe 1/2 tablespoon
Small amount of rice wine vinegar, 1/2 tablespoon
At least 4 tablespoons of Kikkoman soy sauce
1/2 cup water (or enough to cover the eggs, after the rest)
