What K-drama is this?

The raw fish eating was in response to my girlfriend cheating on me going on a date with my brother, who cheated on his girlfriend. Except I suddenly decided that my brother's girlfriend is more hot so decided to die by fish poisoning so that we could be together in the afterlife.

Oh, and the brother it turns out is gay.

I've been making sushi from salmon and tuna from Costco for a decade and am not dead yet. The trick I was told by the internet was that Costco is the only place that has the actual packing date on the label, so you pick out some fish that was packed that day and you'll be fine.

Go for a 5.5 one instead of a 10 one unless you eat a _lot_ of rice and have a lot of space.

Induction/Pressure is good for consistent white rice, but a basic one is also perfectly reasonable.

Nice, are you buying the salmon frozen or thawed? Similiarly I've heard costco is stupid fresh since it also wholesales to restaurants. Also that it's own huge purchasing power in the market helps with their fresh stock.

Also to salmonella turkey jizz guy, thank ya for the info. And yes I have been flash freezing to help preserve the texture. Based off that, I might look into some of the dishes that involve blanching or kitchen torches.

My understanding of salmonella is that it lives on the surface, as its a gut bacteria that is only present if there was cross contamination during the breakdown of the animal. And that's why a pan seared steak is good to go.

For small things you can lay them out on an aluminum sheet and stick in the freezer and they'll freeze pretty quick. For larger I'd think immersion in liquid nitrogen is the way to go. Dry ice would take longer and liquid nitrogen is cheap anyway.

I made good tonteki today but the combination of my terrible phone's terrible camera and the terrible lighting in my kitchen made the picture bad. But tonteki is good, eat tonteki.

I havent tried the liquid nitrogen route yet, but heres how I did it.

Go to home depot, buy a gallon of 99% ethanol. (you'll die if you drink it, they mix in a little methanol or w/e)

You can also use 91% isopropyl. Either way though, you can re-use the stuff just storr it in a sealed container cause it evaporates fast.


Then go to Kroger, buy a chunk of dry ice. I havent figured the exact ratio yet, but a $10 chunk was more than enough for 4 pounds of fish filets.

Get a tall metal cooking pot, pour in alcohol, drop in dry ice, wait a few minutes, drop in fish, mix with salad tongs.

And definitely wear your PPE unless you've got some eye warts you want to freeze off


edit: to elaborate, liquid nitro is "better" in that its colder (-330ish Faren versus -100ish Faren dry ice & ethanol). Its also cheap, the only downside is that its more difficult to come by. At least in my city you have to go to a gas supply store compared with lots of grocery stores carry dry ice.

Another thing to consider is a dry ice bath has a larger delta T value.

We want a liquid to maximize surface area and heat transfer out of the food. Nitrogen only exists as a liquid between -340 and -320 giving us a delta T of 20 degrees farenheit until it becomes a gas. A dry ice bath will always be a liquid, which gives us a delta T from -100F until +32F. I guess another factor could be heat transfer coefficents, but I'm on my phone at work so looking that up would suck

i have a confession to make. i may have eaten at roughly half the ramen joints in the los angeles metro area, and i make a pretty mean homemade tonkotsu, but i've never eaten instant ramen before. this is something i'm considering rectifying. are there any brands or product lines people swear by? i can get to a mitsuwa pretty easily, and i could also probably order off of amazon if need be.


sidenote: i can do spicy, but i'm not a huge fan of stuff that goes all in on heat to the point it crowds everything else out

I find the Malaysian/Thai ones to be pretty good overall.

If you want something closer to actual ramen there are these Japanese ones:



There's a variety and they all come in these long packages. They're not what you want for your first instant ramen experience imo but they're good for something to keep around the house.

My favorite cheapo poo poo is the Mama fake duck. Just crush it up and eat it straight out of the bag. It's 50 cents.

My work lunch standby is Nong Shim Black. I make it with extra dried mushrooms, and add a handful of spinach at the end. It cooks up perfectly in the microwave, so super easy to take to work. Should run you $2.50

Sorry, guy.
My ramen love right now at home is a 1.50 little shoyu broth concentrate (like a thick liquid) that you add some boiling water to.
My favorite fast noodles are Moroheiya “Green Noodles”

Then just add fun stuff. Edamame. Corn. Scallions. Egg. Silken tofu. And I kinda like Kim chi on top.

Do the Sun Noodle kits count as "instant"? If so, they're pretty good.

On the topic, does anyone make their own dashi powder? Not really sure it'd be any more beneficial vs. just soaking kombu.

Homemade dashi powder seems like a whole lot of effort for nothing. The only post I can even find about doing it is to make your own dashi powder with no MSG, which :lol:

I love instant ramen. There's a lot of packs I can't find easily in the US that are legit delicious.

One that I can, though, is Nissin Raoh. The tonkotsu and miso packs are pretty good. I've found a Toyama style bowl that has surprisingly good noodles, too.

Just don't compare instant to stuff you get at a shop.
