“In every bowl of noodle soup there is a drama.” - Hiroko Shimbo
While America is known for mouthwatering burgers, Italy for rustic pastas, and France for its fromage, the Japanese have their own cultural obsession: ramen. Japanese ramen chefs are detail-oriented perfectionists, and the ramen lovers they serve are a discerning bunch who can pick out their favorite ramen ya from the thousands of restaurants and stands that dot the landscape. Glean insight into the fascinating—and delicious—art of ramen and learn to prepare two popular styles (shoyu and miso) in this hands-on class with Japanese cooking authority, chef, and instructor Hiroko Shimbo. The lesson begins by simmering pork knuckle, chicken, beef, and kelp into a flavorful stock. Then, you’ll build your dish, adding perfectly cooked noodles, boiled egg, crispy memma bamboo shoots, and tender chashu pork. You’ll also learn how to make gyoza, tasty pork and vegetable filled pot sticker dumplings that often accompany a bowl of noodles. Class concludes with a sit-down feast, enjoyed alongside scenes from Tampopo and The Ramen Girl, two movies that feature ramen as the star.
