    I love Japanese food. Actually I love the food in all places I visit. Some people are very not adventurous though… Like this guy has probably been to one local bad sushi joint and proclaimed all 🇯🇵 food is bad. Red spicy ramen is one of my favourite things on the entire planet, 11/10 meal for my tastes

      Just for curiosity, what toppings do you use? I’m asking it because I prepare ramen at home often, and I wouldn’t mind spicing it up a bit.

        I can’t really cook anymore since I got sick, and I have no idea what they put in at the restaurant lol. All I know is that they call it Aka ramen and it’s great.

        I found a picture online of what it looked like, maybe you can find a recipe or reverse engineer it? It has this beautiful oily fat layer and deep red-orange colour, I think chives and slices of pork, with those magic 3 day ramen eggs, and the thin noodles. It had other stuff in there too but I was too busy enjoying it to pick it apart lol

          Ah, it’s the classics: egg, pork belly, chives. The sauce is probably pork neck broth with some miso and pepper. I’ll try my hand at it; I did prepare pork belly ramen once, it turned out delicious, but the pepper probably gives it a nice kick. Thank you!

            Yes I remember it being the perfect level of spiciness. Not too hot so it becomes unpleasant, but moderately warm and comforting level of heat. Good luck!
