Slurp - by Nell Benton (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Savor restaurant-quality ramen at home with super simple, super slurpable recipes for flavor-forward noodle bowls

Steaming, savory ramen is a favorite Japanese dish, but this slurpy comfort food can go well beyond the traditional flavor combinations. Learn how to build the perfect ramen bowl from the bottom up, starting with the noodles and moving on to the stock (dashi, chicken, pork, or vegetarian), protein, vegetables, and garnishes. This highly visual, beginner-friendly book includes:

• Detailed information on the origins of ramen and the key components of the dish
• Step-by-step photos for essential recipes, including fresh ramen noodles
• Over 60 recipes for ramen bowls and accompaniments, ranging from classic to contemporary flavor combinations

Master the basics with classic Japanese preparations like Tonkotsu Ramen or explore irresistible modern interpretations featuring ingredients and flavors from around the globe, like Kimchi Apple Ramen, Cuban Pork Ramen, and Butter Corn Chicken Ramen. In addition to ramen recipes, you'll also find recipes to accompany ramen, like Spicy Bean Sprout Salad and Gyoza, as well as recipes to make with instant ramen noodles, such as Ramen Frittata. Whether you want to make fresh ramen noodles and broth from scratch or just get creative using premade ingredients, Slurp provides what you need to satisfy your ramen cravings.
