      Paitan Broth w/ a Dashi Broth, Shiitake Shio Tare drizzled with Negi Neboshi Oil and 3 Day Aged Tokyo Style Ramen Noodles 

      Toppings: 

      Torched Classic Chashu, 

      Nori, 

      Aged Ajitama Eggs,

            Wow! That Tonkotsu Shio Ramen 🍜 looks incredibly well-balanced, from the broth to the toppings, and that chashu has an amazing sear. Plus, aging the noodles? That definitely gave them a more authentic texture—such a great touch!

            The mango and lychee brûlée posset also caught my eye—what an interesting combo! I bet the creaminess paired with the crunchy caramel turned out amazing.

            Now, the real question: how did you handle the broth emulsion to get that silky texture? It looks absolutely perfect!

            Thanks for sharing your delicious creation with the community! ♥️

              @Sussan Estela Olaya Thank you! For the broth texture we kept it at a hard boil for 14hrs. Then after passing it through the chinios we use an immersion blender. The emulsion held wonderfully and was super silky.

                @brent-bilsky Incredible technique! Keeping the broth at a rolling boil for so many hours and then using an immersion blender was a great choice to achieve that perfect emulsion. It really shows a deep understanding of how to extract and suspend fat in the broth to create that silky texture that’s so characteristic of tonkotsu.

                This level of detail and patience is what takes a good ramen to an exceptional one.
                Congrats again on the result,you can truly see the effort and passion in every component of the dish!🫶🏻

              Los platos hablan por sí solos. Se nota el cariño y la dedicación en ellos. Enhorabuena

                Teaching teenagers how to cook is one of the greatest gifts—you’re not just passing on skills, but also confidence, patience, and creativity! And judging by this stunning spread, your 16-year-old is off to an incredible start. Four days of prep truly paid off—just look at that silky broth and those perfect ajitama eggs! 🍜 Which part of the process was the most rewarding (or the trickiest) for them?
