unagi ramen in tonkotsu broth


unagi ramen

Doesn't it look like the real thing that you might get from a restaurant? Ok ok, so the plate is a dead giveaway, and it does look kinda plain but I'm sure if I add the egg and some seaweed, it'll look quite 'professional', right? Haha!

Anyway, was walking in NTUC fairprice, and the aunty called out and intro'ed this ramen. The brand is called Ryushobo. The aunty said this thing got no preservative (but then it can be stored till 2011??!!) and need just hot water and it'll be ready to eat in a jiffy. So she got a small sample cup and scooped some noodles into it, and poured a murky colored liquid from her thermos. I asked, "Aunty, is that soup?" She said, "Ya, it comes with the noodles". (Then still say just need water to cook? Cheh...)

Anyways, I bought one pack home. Aiya, $2.45 can get authentic tasting ramen, why not. You know why I seldom order unagi dishes from those Jap restaurant? Yeah, 'coz I can get them for $3.95 per big piece.

So, for this instant dinner I used half an unagi, one serving of ramen (1 pack is 2 servings), some golden mushrooms and some dou miao. Unagi toasted separately and noodles cooked as though we're cooking instant noodles. Don't cook the noodles for too long though 'coz it'll get bitter due to the alkaline. The soup is actually quite tasty (i put quite alot of water as ramen broth tended to be quite salty!), with thin layer of fat/oil.


drooling yet?
