Spicy Shoyu Ramen

18 comments


I had been waiting for the weekend to come because I wanted to try Nami's version of Spicy Shoyu Ramen which I saw on her Monday's post. I love this ramen because it's pretty simple to make and the flavour is quite rich too. Unfortunately I had to omit the chicken stock because I didn't have it, but the mixture of dashi, soy sauce and chili bean paste was good enough for me :).

I am not very happy with my photos though, it was so dark and gloomy today, I hardly could make presentable pictures. I had to sharpen and filled the photos with some light to make them passable to see, but as you can see, they're still pretty blurry.

Anyway, back to ramen making now...!

  13. Ah, winter - every food photographer's worst nightmare... though you still did a fantastic job. The primary job of someone taking a photo should be to make others want to eat it, right? Well, I'm sold on this... looks delicious :)
