Cook the World Week 8 - Japan

My husband LOVES ramen.  I cannot stress this enough.  He also loves to cook, but tends to choose really intricate recipes, which is why I do most of the "practical" cooking in our house.  He has been enjoying the "Cook the World" project, but this was the first week he decided to join us and single-handedly took on the planning and execution of making ramen from scratch.  I did some basic research on ramen, and all I concluded was that it is that there are a great many ways to prepare it depending on the region you are in.  If you are interested in attempting it - give yourself at least 12 hours lead time as this is how long it takes to make an authentic broth.  The meal itself was delicious, rich and flavourful but extremely labour intensive!  He took lots of pictures to document the journey - I hope you enjoy them.  Scroll down for recipes
