Have you been to Kamukura (https://kamukura.co.jp/) to try the signature Oishii Ramen (Yes it means Delicious Ramen) when you were in Osaka?
Started by a Japanese chef that specialized in French cuisine, the concept of Kamukura is to create “Ramen that people will want to eat even everyday”. The key is in the mild soup, matched with Chinese cabbage as and various toppings to complement nicely with the soup.
This is an inspired version of Oishii Ramen, while adding a little bit of my original style 🙂
In my recipe, I try to re-create similar flavours of the classic Oishii Ramen by using a soup base of chicken and beef, simmered over long hours. The ramen is topped with many different ingredients, including Chinese cabbage, pork belly slices and a special blend of marinated chives. The result is amazing, a mild sweetness to the soup which is filled with flavours and definitely something I will love to eat everyday.
As always, I did not use any MSG because I try to use various alternative ingredients to bring out the umami in my own recipes.
Hope you enjoy the recipe, visit my youtube channel if you do! Please also subscribe if you wish to watch more ramen recipe videos and feel free to leave a comment for request of any ramen recipes. Thank you!
