シャドーイング練習: The Best Restaurant-Style Ramen At Home - 動画で英語スピーキングを学ぶ

There's a reason real pork tonkatsu ramen tastes the way it does, and almost nobody does it the right way at home.

A good ramen starts with good broth, and a good broth starts with good bones.

The first step is to rinse off all our bones.

Hidden in the bottom of this bowl is actually a pig's foot, but I covered it because I thought, maybe not everyone wants to see a pig's foot.

But if you do, feel free to go ahead and try to find it.

that flavor for our ramen broth.

The next step is to add all our bones to a large pot.

Once again, I'm going to keep that pig foot real hidden in there.

And once all your bones are in there, go ahead and cover them up with water.

The reason we're doing this is to get a nice clean broth.

And if you don't, your broth will end up being cloudy and dirty.

Look at that.

You can already see all the nastiness coming out of those bones.

We're trying to get rid of all that and more.

Once your bones are covered, turn on the heat and then bring it up to a boil and let it go for 10 minutes.

This right here is what's inside all those bones.

So if you didn't understand why before, now I think you will.

Once we've been boiling for 10 minutes, I'm going to fish out all the bones because we want to give them one last rinse before we make our broth, just to make sure they're extra clean.

And don't even try.

I'm still not going to show you the pig's foot.

With one last quick rinse in cold water, our bones are clean and ready.

These are the aromatics we'll use to build the base of our broth.

We've got onion, which I'm going to quarter and leave the skin on, garlic, which I'm going to cut in half just like this, then ginger, which I'm going to carefully cut right down the middle, and these green onions, which I'm going to leave whole.

Now into our as well as all our aromatics and stir until fragrant, one or two minutes.

Wow, I love the smell of these.

Just make sure as you stir these around that you do not char anything because that will give you a dirty broth, which we do not want.

After a few minutes of stirring, we'll add our bones See if you can catch the pig's foot.

I'm doing a good job hiding it.

I bet none of you have seen it still.

As well as a few white mushrooms.

Here's how we start to build that umami flavor and then cover this up once again with water.

Bring it to a strong simmer.

If you haven't seen what that looks like before, this is it.

Let it cook for 12 hours with the lid slightly ajar, adding more water as needed to keep the bones covered and constantly skimming all the junk off the top.

While our broth cooks, we're gonna move on to make our chashu pork.

This is that beautifully rolled barbecued Japanese pork that you may have seen before and when you make it right, This right here is pork belly.

If you look from the side here, you'll see the cross section looks just like a piece of bacon, which is exactly what it is.

The first thing we need to do is remove this skin on top, so I'll lay it skin side down on my cutting board, and then just like removing the skin from a filet of fish,

I'll go back and forth carefully with my knife until everything separates and it looks like this.

Next, we'll take our pork belly and roll it up as tight as we possibly can.

The tighter you can get it here, the cleaner it'll eventually be for those nice portions we cut for our ramen.

can around the pork and I will admit it took me two

or three times to get it right but

if you have someone there to help you it'll probably make it a lot easier.

As a next step in a cast iron pan over medium high I'm going to get this deep golden brown

and the reason I'm not starting off with any oil or fat in the pan is because I've got plenty right here.

I'm going to play a little game with myself here

and see how perfectly golden brown I can get this thing on all sides.

Having a weirdly shaped object like this is really great practice for getting a steak golden brown.

If you can do they don't give you enough of this meat.

I feel like you eat one or two bites of it and it's gone, and then you're left with this big bowl of ramen.

What I love about making it at home right now is

that I could literally eat this entire thing in my bowl of ramen if I really wanted to.

As we continue to cook this pork belly, we're going to render off a lot of that fat, which will continue to tighten up this roll of pork, giving us a cleaner cut of pork on our ramen.

If you've ever had a bowl of ramen where the pork is too fatty, it means they didn't spend enough time rendering off the fat during this process.

Once your pork is beautiful golden brown like this, go ahead For our chashu pork marinade, I'll add soy sauce, mirin,

some sliced ginger, a few cloves of crushed garlic, then some green onion, and a little sugar.

And once we've brought this up to a simmer, add in your pork belly and let it cook with the lid slightly open for two hours.

Until it looks like this.

Look at how bubbly and beautiful that looks.

Now, all we do is turn off the heat, and once it's cooled down, we'll place it in the fridge overnight.

With our pork done, we're going to move on now to make our soft -boiled ramen egg.

We'll add our eggs to some boiling water and cook them for six and a half minutes exactly.

carefully collect them all and transfer them to some ice cold water.

Once they've had time to cool down, we'll peel our eggs.

And as you do this, be careful not to break them.

We want to keep them whole.

As you peel them, put them in a bowl off to the side

because we're going to marinate them in just a moment.

I feel like everyone has their own methods on how to peel eggs.

Usually, I actually like to peel mine under running water like this

because I feel like the water gets into the shell and separates things quickly.

But at the end of the day, I feel like there's really no right or wrong answer as long as you don't break the egg.

To marinate our eggs, we'll go into our bowl with which is a seaweed that gives tons of umami, one clove of crushed garlic,

as well as some soy sauce, mirin, and sake.

We'll cover this up.

Oops, I spilled a little there.

And place this in the fridge overnight, along with our pork.

Before we make our ramen noodles, isn't that exciting that we're making our own noodles?

Since some of the bones in here are uncovered, oh, you can't see the pig foot.

I'm going to pour some more water to top things off and cover it up again.

And now, our noodles.

Into a bowl with some flour, I'll add some baking soda and a pinch of salt, and then I'll mix this up until fully combined.

water.

You can look up what that is on your own time.

I'm going to slowly pour it into the flour, continuing to mix with those chopsticks until it begins to form this crumbly, shaggy dough.

And once the dough eventually looks like this, go ahead and dump it out on your cutting board and get in there with your hands to mix it all together.

We're going to knead this and treat this just like we would any normal pasta dough, with the goal being to develop that gluten and get us those nice, iconic, chewy ramen noodles.

Once your dough eventually looks something like this, go ahead and shape it into a ball, then cover in plastic wrap and let it rest at room While our dough is resting, check this out.

If you look at our broth now, it's becoming milky.

And what's happening is that all that collagen is breaking down from the bones and turning the broth nice and creamy.

This is what I love so much about a tonkatsu broth.

You get creaminess without actually adding any cream.

It's amazing.

Once our ramen dough has rested, we'll open it up and it should by now feel a bit more relaxed.

It will still be harder and drier than most normal pastas because ramen dough is intentionally drier than normal pasta, but it will definitely be workable.

Working with one piece at a time, I'll press out each piece of dough and then roll them maker.

Adding just a touch of flour whenever needed to make sure things don't stick, but not too much or we'll dry it out.

We're going to roll this out to level six on our pasta maker, and once I've finished each sheet, I'll flour it and set it off to the side while I repeat the same process with the others.

100

Just wait until you see when it gets rolled into the actual ramen noodle shape.

101

That is one of my favorite things to watch in the kitchen.

102

Once all our sheets are made, we'll switch out the attachments, and like I said, this is one of my favorite parts.

103

These are beautiful homemade ramen noodles.

104

It's definitely extra effort and an extra mess in your kitchen to make them yourself, I think it is so incredibly worth it.

105

I mean, I just gotta do it.

106

I had to do it.

107

Okay, let's focus.

108

Cut your noodles into nice portions.

109

You should be able to eyeball that and measure them out on your own.

110

This is another cool part about making them at home is

111

that you can make them as long or as short as you want.

112

Remember also is you're making these noodles to keep flowering them because they will stick together if you don't flower them.

113

These noodles, especially because they're fresh, will cook really fast so we'll set them aside until right before we're ready to make our ramen.

114

When your ramen broth is done, turn off your heat and by now you should have a creamy, milky looking broth even though we never added any cream.

115

We're going to strain this out now.

116

out all the bones and I don't have to worry about hiding that pig's foot anymore because everything's dissolved and broken apart.

117

Carefully strain this out, mixing as needed if it needs any extra help pushing that liquid through the strainer.

118

And this next step here is optional and not traditional but I love miso and now is the time to add it.

119

We add miso off the heat because high heat will kill the flavor.

120

I'm gonna let this cool off uncovered and then refrigerate it until I'm ready to use it.

121

We've done all the hard work so just a few steps left.

122

All of these steps are basically to finish Cut the string off the pork.

123

Funny story, in one of my biggest challenges ever in MasterChef, I left the string on the lamb.

124

I tied it around the lamb to try to make the lamb look really nice

125

and then I left it on there and they tried to bite it and there was string.

126

It was really awkward.

127

And once that string is off, we're going to cut this into nice thin slices.

128

Ooh yeah.

129

This is some of the best smelling pork you're ever going to be around.

130

Now for the fun part, fire.

131

Lay your pork down on a baking sheet lined with a wire rack, doing your best to be nice and gentle with it so it doesn't fall apart.

132

And then use a torch to caramelize the chashu pork.

133

Not too much, but just enough to get that beautifully caramelized color and flavor.

134

Kind of like making a creme brulee.

135

Once you feel you've gotten that beautiful color on the first side, go ahead and flip everything over.

136

This one was an end piece, but unlike with bread, the end pieces with chashu pork are actually good.

137

Although this wouldn't be as traditional to serve on a bowl of ramen, so I'll probably save that for a snack.

138

listening to and watching how quickly the fat bubbles up and pops.

139

This is such a great way without that much extra effort to make things look really good and it's also fun.

140

If you don't have a torch like mine, don't worry.

141

You can easily toss this under a broiler at home and get a very similar result.

142

Once it looks like this, we can start our final plating.

143

First, we need to cook our noodles.

144

Our homemade noodles may have dried out a bit by now, but as long as you move them around a bit, they'll separate quickly when you drop them into that boiling water.

145

They'll cook extremely fast.

146

The second they float, they're done.

147

Grab your ramen bowl and put them straight in from that boiling water.

148

butter, but leave it there.

149

You'll see why in just a second.

150

One thing I love about ramen shops in Japan is the chefs will often take a pair of chopsticks

151

and they'll pick up the noodles over and over again

152

so they can layer them in a nice beautiful pattern on the top of your bowl.

153

I don't have the technique like they do to layer these noodles, but I am going to try my best to get nice, clean and presentable layers of noodles.

154

Once our noodles are layered, we'll take our broth, which I put back over low heat to get nice and warm, and then we'll pour this over the ramen to fill our bowl.

155

Now it's finally starting to look like ramen.

156

For the egg, I'll heat it really quickly

157

water just five or ten seconds to warm it up and then cut it in half and place it on top.

158

Next we'll add our chashu pork and then add whatever other toppings you like.

159

I like to plate it a little different with different ingredients every single time.

160

It's funny sometimes when I spend

161

that long making something I'm almost too tired to taste

162

and I just want to go to sleep

163

but I at least need to try the broth and some of our homemade noodles.

164

Itadakimasu!

165

I feel bad saying it's the best ramen I've ever had

166

because I love Japan but it's the best ramen I've ever had.

167

I guess I never need to take that 15 hour flight to Japan again.
