Not entirely sure how authentic this is. I followed the shoyu ramen recipe from Joshua Wisseman.
Authentic is less important than delicious. It's great to learn the history and tradition around the food you enjoy, but not knowing or not following that tradition doesn't make your food any less valid or tasty
Looks absolutely fantastic!
I've been to China and authentic Chinese food is delicious, but American Chinese food is also delicious. Same goes for authentic indian curry vs UK curry. Delicious food is delicious, simple as that.
Well visually it looks delicious for sure
IKR. This is peak food photography, OP!
So what kind of surface is that bowl on? Is it sitting on a bunch of rocks?
Looks like a marble countertop
If you're worried about authenticity, probably compare notes with native cooks, but more importantly, check to see if the ingredients are correct. Very easy to get bastardised ingredients; as an example, living in an Asian country, I used to have a hell of a time getting the right herbs and vegetables for doing certain Western dishes with, and very common to get some pre-packaged "mix" of herbs instead.
Do Asian countries have Western markets the same way Western countries have Asian markets?
Perhaps unsurprisingly, yes, although the authenticity leaves something to be desired. Usually it's just cheap stuff they can import in bulk quantities that appeal to westerners living abroad.
There was a common reddit post where European supermarkets would have an "American" aisle at their grocery stores and every time they post it, it's literally just breakfast cereal, pop-tarts, peanut butter, and candy bars.
Kinda, but nowadays it's all filtered in so even in a mass market supermarket you can get some decent ingredients. Like anything else not common to the local palate, you have to pay. Kale is ridiculously expensive, for example.
I'm not even a big ramen fan and this looks so tempting. Well done! Was it as good as it looked?
Why I never thought to put a whole chicken thigh in ramen, I don't know. I grill chicken thighs almost every week. That's looks guuuud.
A couple of drops of chili oil atop this and I'd house it. Well done on the egg, it's the worst when a ramen place puts a hard boiled egg in there instead of a jammy one. Job well done!
Kinda looks like a cassowary photobombed your shot in the bottom right corner.
The meat is kind of whacky but the rest looks nice. So how was it? How long did it take to make the broth?
That looks amazing!
Weissman. Wisseman looks incredibly cursed.
Looks great!
Yum! Can I have some?
Looks yummy.
