Homemade Ramen

Ramen is a bundle of traditions, conventions, cultural trends, proscriptions and crazed opinions. Sho Spaeth has spent over two decades trying to make sense of it all, adapting ramen-making techniques to his kitchen and coming up with recipes that are representative of a range of ramen styles, including:

• Classic shoyu ramen


• Shio tanmen with clam stock


• Miso ramen


• Spicy tantanmen


• Pork rib tsukemen


• Soupless ramen (mazemen)


• Vegan chickpea ramen

With over 100 step-by-step photographs, Homemade Ramen shows you how to make every element in 13 bowls of ramen from scratch, from the soup and seasoning to the noodles and a range of toppings. More than that, the book shows that making ramen is easy and it gives you everything you need to geek out on ramen on your own.
