"Haha, that's so interesting, I'm going to try it later!" Sikong Yao said happily.

Battlefield Harasawa nodded and said, "I'll go to that one, if you want to say that the originator of Japanese ramen, you only need to have a place in Ichifudo." ”

Following the direction pointed by Yuan Zemi on the battlefield, the Yifengtang restaurant entered Sikong Yao's sight, and all kinds of tearful signboards around him made Sikong Yao a little dazzled, but only the three words "Yifutang" were extremely conspicuous.

Originally a 10-seat restaurant, Ippudo has grown over the decades to become a leading restaurant in Japan's ramen scene, and now has more than 80 branches around the world, including New York, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore and other international metropolises.

With the motto of "Staying true to tradition and innovating", Ichifudo is regarded as a Japanese ramen expert by many diners for its meticulous attention to the ingredients and the meticulousness of the production process. The name of the sign is a tribute to the Chinese people who brought ramen to Japan and eventually led to its development into one of Japan's three major noodle dishes.

The innovation of Ichifudo Hakata Chinese noodles lies in the soup base, which is a mixture of pork bone broth and chicken broth that has been boiled for several hours, and then garnished with soy sauce, the soup presents a rich color and rich aroma, and the noodles are made of slightly thicker wide noodles, which can carry more of the true flavor in the soup, accompanied by crispy bean sprouts and cooked until tender and slightly fat.

Inside the Ippudo restaurant. The traditional Japanese classical decoration is also used, and there are so many wooden decorations, plus menus and golden sentences written in calligraphy, Sikong Yao likes this style very much, and happily finds a vacant seat to sit down.

Battlefield Harasawa said helplessly: "If you want to eat ramen, you have to go to the vending machine and buy a meal ticket first." ”

Sikong Yao was stunned for a moment, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Eh...... I'm sorry, I forgot, I just told me. ”

Battlefield Hara Ze smiled and said, "That's it, I'll help you get it." You've got a place here. ”

Sikong Yao nodded. "Okay." ”

Battlefield Hara Ze thought for a while and said, "What are the requirements for taste?" ”

Sikong Yao said without thinking: "It's okay, I'm not a picky eater." ”

Battlefield Harasawa smiled and said, "Then let's have a miso ramen, how about it?" ”

Sikong Yao nodded. "Okay." ”

A ramen restaurant in Japan. If it's not a mobile stall. Basically, you have to buy meal rolls on the automatic purchase machine, and after Sikong Yao finished ordering the ramen, side dishes, and snacks he wanted, he was about to order food for Sikong Yao. Suddenly, Sikong Yao came out from behind.

"Battlefield seniors, let me do it myself! I want to see what a ramen vending machine looks like. ”

Battlefield Hara Ze said helplessly: "Why did you run out, the position will be occupied by others." ”

Sikong Yao smiled: "It's okay, the boss of Yifengtang is very good, he saw that I was not a local, and thought that I didn't know to buy a meal roll first, so he said that he would keep the place for me." ”

Battlefield Harazawa said puzzled: "He can speak Chinese?" ”

Sikong Yao shook his head and said, "No." ”

Battlefield Hara Zemi was puzzled and said, "Then how do you communicate?" ”

Sikong Yao smiled: "It seems that there are often foreign diners like me who don't know the rules in Yifeng Hall, so the boss is no longer surprised." ”

Battlefield Hara Ze shrugged helplessly and said, "It's okay, then you can order it yourself, there is Chinese on it, you should be able to understand it." ”

"Huh? There are actually Chinese notes. Sikong Yao was overjoyed.

Battlefield Hara Zemi nodded and said, "Ippudo was originally engaged in Chinese ramen, and before ramen became widely popular, it was originally a food exclusively for Chinese people. ”

Ippudo's ramen vending machine has a Chinese option on it, you can use the Chinese interface to choose your favorite type of ramen, since battlefield Hara Zemi recommends miso ramen, so there is nothing else to pick on the taste, as for the side dishes, it is to pick fish plates, sugar eggs, char siu and fish tofu, the type of ramen here is only a wide noodle, but you can still choose the thickness, in addition to the concentration of the soup can also be adjusted.

When he saw the four side dishes that Sikong Yao chose, Battlefield Hara Zemi suddenly laughed.

Sikong Yao said embarrassedly: "What's wrong...... Isn't that a good match? ”

The side dishes he chose based on his own taste preferences, Sikong Yao couldn't help but be a little scared for fear of committing some taboos.

However, Battlefield Yuan Zejian shook his head, swept away Sikong Yao's concerns, and said with a smile: "No, no, no, these four side dishes you ordered are actually the most traditional ramen flavors, I thought you were a connoisseur." ”

Sikong Yao scratched his head and said with a smile: "That's really a mistake." ”

After handing over the meal roll to the chef at Ippudo, the freshly ordered ramen immediately entered the production process, and the small whitebait, soybean sprouts, tofu, and kelp were put into the high-quality red sea bream bone broth that had already been boiled, and when a small spoonful of flavor was added to the seasoning, the thick aroma of deliciousness immediately spread, and Sikong Yao took a sip of it vigorously, and immediately felt refreshed.

Battlefield Harasawami explained: "This is the real miso soup, it must be freshly made so that the aroma can be released, and if it is boiled repeatedly, the miso will lose its aroma when it is warmed again, and the miso soup you drank earlier must not be freshly cooked." ”

Sikong Yao pondered for a while, and the miso soup that Grandpa Eel ate at noon was taken directly from the soup pot instead of being boiled, so the taste was far from the same.

In China, it takes at least 2 hours to make a fresh and delicious soup, and in some cases it takes 10 hours, but in Japan, miso soup is a popular soup because it is a simple and easy way to make soup.

At the same time, because miso is a fermented food, it has a good intestinal function, so it can eliminate waste products from the body, and it also contains soy soap, which can prevent fat oxidation and promote metabolism, which is the favorite of many women, and even some long-lived Japanese people firmly believe that this must have something to do with the fact that they have been drinking miso soup.

To make a ramen soup, you need to use chicken, pork bones, beef bones, dried bonito, dried mackerel, dried small fish, kelp, fried soybeans, shiitake mushrooms, onions, green onions, etc., and generally speaking, the soup base of ramen usually needs to be simmered for several hours or even days. Some ramen shops use or mix and match commercial ramen soup bought in barrels, which is convenient and can reduce costs, but specialized ramen foodies can make the difference. Although Sikong Yao is not a seasoned ramen eater, there is no need to worry about eating commercial ramen soup base at Ippudo.

The edge of the bowl on the white ramen noodles has a striped shape similar to a square fish plate in a circle, and the miso soup inside is as clear as water, and you can clearly see the structure of each ramen, and the barbecued pork that is almost half the size of the bowl makes people doubt its authenticity, but the barbecued pork of Japanese ramen is so real, the small and cute fish plate looks playful and lively, the fish tofu is cut into thin strips and put the bean sprouts together, and the most eye-catching thing is that the egg core is not fully cooked, it is sticky porridge, and the sugar egg with bright color is not cooked.

"If you eat ramen, you first have to taste the soup, and the soup determines the value of a bowl of ramen. ”

Sikong Yao tasted a spoonful of miso soup, and the rich taste of Chizong fish bones exploded in an instant, but there was no disgusting umami, the taste of pork bones was just right in the aroma of miso, and the warm soup went deep into the stomach, and there was an indescribable excellent enjoyment.

Sikong Yao said curiously: "Battlefield senior, what kind of soup base did you order?" ”

Battlefield Haramami explains, "I ordered the soy sauce flavor, which is a sweet soup base that concentrates the taste of fresh chicken and a special fish broth, which is carefully blended and made with thick noodles, and the flavor is delicious and unique. ”

Sikong Yao said curiously: "The soup base of ramen, apart from soy sauce and miso, what else?" ”

"The soup base is roughly divided into four categories, bone soup noodles, clear soup noodles, miso soup noodles, soy sauce soup noodles, and the miso flavor is a type of bone soup noodles. Bone noodle broth is made from pork or chicken bones and has a strong flavor. The clear soup noodles are crystal clear, seasoned with salt, and have a light taste. The miso noodle soup is made from Japanese miso and has a strong flavor of the sauce. Soy sauce noodle soup is generally made from soy sauce. However, in addition to the above-mentioned ingredients, Japanese ramen soups often have their own unique flavors, such as kombu, take-wich fish, green vegetables, and even apples, and each soup stock is subtly different. ”

Then Battlefield Harasawami explained: "The second bite is to taste the barbecued pork, which can bring out the taste of the noodles, and it deserves to be barbecued pork." ”

Although Japanese barbecued pork and Chinese barbecued pork have the same name, they are different in terms of taste and preparation methods. Chinese barbecued pork, which basically refers to Cantonese barbecued meat, is made by roasting pork on a stove with a fork, and when it is made, the pork is coated with a red char siu sauce, so it has a dark red color

Japanese barbecued pork is a Japanese pork dish, although the name is derived from Cantonese barbecued pork, but the preparation method is completely different, and it is not a barbecue food. It is made by tying a whole piece of pork with a cotton rope, boiling it in a sauce made from mirin, and finally cutting it into thin slices. According to the way of cooking, Japanese-style barbecued pork should actually be called teriyaki pork, but this kind of pork dish with concentrated sauce, compared with Cantonese barbecued pork, although it is less sweet, but it has a bit more rich sauce domineering, plus the portion is full, and it is satisfying to eat it in one bite and chew it out.
