First, I have to recommend Way of Ramen’s YouTube channel; he makes great videos, and I use several of his recipes in my Ramen.

I make WoR’s super simple Shio tare to start Ingredients:

<pre style="background-color:#ffffff;">
<span style="color:#323232;">• 450ml Water
</span><span style="color:#323232;">• 70g Sea Salt
</span><span style="color:#323232;">• 25ml Hon Mirin
</span><span style="color:#323232;">• 7.5ml rice Vinegar
</span><span style="color:#323232;">• 25ml Usukuchi shoyu
</span><span style="color:#323232;">• 5g caster sugar
</span><span style="color:#323232;">• 2.5g (1/2tsp) msg
</span>

Directions:

• Bring 450ml of water to a simmer
• Add salt, stir to dissolve
• Add mirin, sugar, shoyu, vinegar, 1/2tsp MSG Stir, then let cool and store

The bowl of ramen contains the following:

<pre style="background-color:#ffffff;">
<span style="color:#323232;">• 36ml Shio Tare
</span><span style="color:#323232;">• 1Tbsp Chicken fat
</span><span style="color:#323232;">• 400ml Hot water (or chicken stock or any good soup you have on hand)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">• Pre-made noodles (look up Hakubaku or j-basket, both should be on Amazon or in your local Asian market)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">• Toppings:
</span>

• Green onions
• Sautéd Red Bell pepper (skip if I’m not in the mood)
• 1/2lb. Fried chicken tenders (the stuff from Publix is magic if you’ve got one near you)

This can all be done in one day, but the tare recipe makes enough for at least a dozen bowls, so you’ll just warm it up later.
