I did my very first pop-up last week and it was amazing! I did 40 bowls in 3 hours and failed a lot.

So I decided to make tonkotsu boiled for 28 hours. And then made a slap-chop video about it. It is my Moby Dick, my white whale, my elusive dream ramen.
Tonkotsu is one of those broths that is so hard to get it right like in a restaurant. In the US it is likely that your first ramen in a restaurant was tonkotsu – thick and creamy and unctuous and delicious. Miles away from wrapped brics of ramen from the corner store and piled high…
STATE OF THE RAMEN – Cooking Instructions
If you bought a Batch 6 kit, you are in luck. It is the BEST RAMEN I know how to make after years of obsession, trial, error, tasting, research, and cooking. Homemade cloudy ramen broth from pork and chicken seasoned with onions, garlic, dried fish, and seaweed. The broth is finished with concentrated soy,mirin, and…
My week in ramen: the sh*t sandwich edition
I was able to go to my favorite pho place located across the street. I tried an interesting version of pho. Pork belly pho with a marinated egg on top, served with a side of pickled onions. I like all of those things, but together doesn’t quite add up like I think they would have…

Ramen Heads the movie: Austin Premier and Q&A
What a night! Was able to see Ramen Heads at its Austin Premier and was treated to a panel discussion with some ramen chefs and celebrity moderator. The movie was exactly what I hoped to see. Lots of close ups of noodles? Check. Ramen prep? Check, check and CHECK. Slow-mo pouring of thick tonkotsu broth?…
The Process of Making Ramen
I love watching B-Roll of ramen restaurants. It’s one of the main reasons I will watch documentaries on ramen. One of my favorites is here, on a channel I supported through Patreon. It’s one of the main reasons I am so jazzed for the upcoming Ramen Heads film. If you haven’t heard much about it,…
Cleaning up (boring, I know)
So if you have been keeping track I have been doing one style of ramen each week. That means some poor animal is sacrificed to the gods of ramen. Bones are split and blanched. Fat is rendered and flavored. Broth is simmered and stored. Eggs are in constant motion. Toppings are crisped up and seasoned….
