5 posts | 9 read | 14 to read
Playful and instructive, this hybrid cookbook/graphic novel introduces the history of ramen in addition to more than 40 recipes for everything you need to make perfect ramen at home, including stocks and broths, noodles, and toppings and accompaniments. Authors Hugh Amano and Sarah Becan present colorful, humorous, and easy-to-follow comics that fully illustrate all the steps and ingredients necessary. Along the way, they give tips for preparation shortcuts that make weeknight ramen a reality, provide meaty tidbits on Japanese culinary traditions, and feature words of wisdom, personal anecdotes, and cultural insights from ramen chefs like Ivan Orkin and other luminaries including Brian MacDuckston of Ramen Adventures. Recipes include complete bowls like Tonkotsu, Mazemen, and Yaki Soba, as well as components like Onsen Eggs, Gari, and Menma. Perfect for beginners and seasoned cooks, as well as armchair cooks, this manga is an accessible, fun, and inviting introduction to one of Japan's most popular foods.

I adore these authors' comic-book cookbooks! I already have their book on making dumplings and borrowed this from the library to try a few recipes. I made ramen eggs, pickled shiitake mushrooms and marinated bamboo shoots and they all tasted great in my ramen bowl!

kwmg40 @Tamra Even if you don\'t get around to trying the recipes, it\'s definitely a fun book to read! I love all the extra historical and geographical context that the authors provide. 1mo
kwmg40 @Bookwormjillk I think this book and the one on dumplings make excellent gifts, and maybe you\'ll be the lucky recipient of your son\'s culinary efforts! 1mo
kwmg40 @PuddleJumper I wish there were more comic-style cookbooks like this one! 1mo

This was a fun way to introduce making ramen at home. There are a lot of components but it looks like fun! I may end up buying this to try making ramen at home 🍜
