Soup "Ramen": a little bit of the history of cuisine ...

 

Due to the fact that the country is geographically located on islands, fish and seafood are central components of Japanese cuisine. Also, rice, seaweed, soy and beans are used.

The main feature is the high skill of the cooks. It is widely known that for quite a long time it was Japanese culinary specialists, with special clearance, who had the right to cook puffer fish.

The usefulness of dishes in this cuisine also lies in the freshness of the products. Some lend themselves to short-term heat treatment, and there are those that are used without it.

 

Information about Ramen Soup ...

 

Over the past 10-15 years, the popularity of Japanese dishes such as rolls and sushi has increased. But few know that in addition to these dishes, there are others, which include the Japanese Ramen soup.

The fact is known that in the country this first dish is part of non-elite Japanese cuisine. That is, the soup is served exclusively in institutions for budget consumers.

Nevertheless, due to its calorie content, it nourishes the body with energy for the whole day. And vegetables enrich it with useful vitamins.

 

Literally, the name "Ramen" consists of the characters "Ra" and "Men," which in a free translation means "pull noodles."

 

The fundamental component of the dish is precisely instant noodles, which in combination with other ingredients (meat, vegetables, pickles, boiled egg, cabbage and other components) gives the dish a unique taste of Japanese cuisine.

 

It should also be noted that if the cook has mastered the technique of making Ramen soup and he has the necessary products available, then he will be able to cook the dish at home if he is familiar with the features of traditional Japanese cuisine.

Although it is believed that real Ramen soup is difficult to cook. This is due to the fact that it takes a relatively long time to cook because of the products that need to be heat treated separately in a certain clear sequence. This applies to the meat component.

How to cook a traditional soup ...

 

One of the cooking options is Japanese Ramen soup with pork. It should be considered that this recipe is traditional.

For five servings you will need:

• 0,7 kilogram of egg noodles;
• a pinch of salt and sugar;
• a glass of soy sauce;

Boil the meat separately, then the noodles. Next, put the seasoning containers and meat ingredient on the bottom, add the broth and soy sauce (to cover the components completely). Simmer about 4 hours.

Serve with noodles and herbs.
