Takeaways

• 😀 The recipe begins with a clear introduction to making a chicken-based miso ramen (missol), but there is also a vegetarian option using vegetable broth.
• 😀 To prepare the chicken broth, chicken carcasses and thigh bones are first blanched to remove impurities before being simmered with aromatics like celery, green onions, leeks, garlic, ginger, and onions for about an hour.
• 😀 For the dash (umami-rich broth), dried shiitake mushrooms and kombu (seaweed) are soaked for two hours, then gently heated to extract the flavors without boiling the kombu, as it loses its properties when overcooked.
• 😀 The motar, a paste made from miso and other ingredients like mirin, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and sesame seeds, is prepared to enhance the flavor of the ramen.
• 😀 The oil aromatics, consisting of vegetable oil, toasted sesame oil, garlic, and green onion stems, are fried until crispy to add a fragrant touch to the dish.
• 😀 The chicken broth is strained to remove impurities, resulting in a clear, flavorful base.
• 😀 The dash is combined with the strained chicken broth to enrich the flavor with additional umami.
• 😀 The ramen is then assembled with toppings such as buttered shiitake mushrooms, mago (or egg), crispy garlic oil, and green onions, but other toppings like pork belly, bean sprouts, or roasted tomatoes can also be used.
• 😀 The motar paste is used to season the broth to taste, acting as the salt component of the dish.
• 😀 The recipe emphasizes that while there are many steps, the preparation of different components can be done simultaneously to make the process more efficient.
• 😀 The video encourages viewers to try a vegetarian ramen version and leave comments if interested in a plant-based alternative.
