RAMEN CLASS

There is nothing here at Dave's that can get us more excited than a bowl of great noodles. In this class we begin to examine Asian noodle preparation with Japanese ramen. Known as an alkaline noodle because of the addition of kansui to mimic the highly alkaline water of the great Kan lake in Mongolia, this Japanese version has a very specific and highly revered texture and flavor. We will make the noodles from scratch as well as the broth and all the garnishes that will blend traditional Ramen with our own, do it at home approach. We will also discuss umami and naturally occurring glutamic acid used as flavor enhancement, and tare, a Japanese sauce used in addition to the ramen broth in some modern recipes, to add depth of flavor. class full
