It's about to get pretty cold so just in good time to learn some hearty warm dishes. Bone Soup Noodle (aka japanese ramen w/o the pork slices aka I need to figure out how to make those)
As you can imagine, the crucial ingredient is the bone soup, watch the tutorial here:
After that, the noodle part is trivial, just add anything you want, boil along with the bone soup, eaaasy katka
It's interesting that you rapidly boil it to make it cloudy on purpose. The French technique (which I also use for my Chinese-flavored stocks) makes a point of avoiding this

Essentially there's 2 kind of bone soups, both are very handy. The first kind is the clear kind, which is made by very slow simmer (the thing that came out of the slow cooker is similar, except still too cloudy to be acceptable). The second kind is the cloudy kind, which is made by hard boil that disintegrate the bone structure and turns the soup thick and milky.

Yeah that's an interesting trick, I will try it out. It looks kind of like some Japanese instant ramen
yeah i wouldnt make stock from scratch... and you are looking at a guy who occasionally make pie and pasta and bread from scratch for dinner. Bone is hard to shop for, hard to handle and when cook the stock require a bit of fridge space that me living in a house of 5 cant afford. I know the taste is superior but its not something worth pursuing given the opportunity cost. Also imo its better to use a pressure cooker to make the stock than slow cooker.
bones aren't that hard to find if you're chinese honestly, the supermarket has them cut and bagged already and it's relatively cheap.
I was at whole foods the other day to see how much their bones are (better quality), and it was like $3.99/lb for beef bones LOL, as expensive as beef. the european woman in front of me who was also buying bones was like "it used to be free" (old school butchers would just give bones out to good customers)
stock doesn't have to require a lot of effort if you aren't doing it the "proper" french way, tbh, especially chicken. just yesterday I made chicken stock. it's literally just simmer for 7 hours, flavor with some green onion and ginger if you want, and then cool/stick in freezer.
yeah those bones are 2 dollars. I wanted to try pressure cooker actually but I thought the viewer might not have it, but everyone can simmer for a long time even if they don't have a slow cooker.
ok im sure this blog entry should have been titled 'Japanese Ramen Broth' because ramen is literally a type of thin pulled wheat-based noodles and those are definitely not ramen noodles, they look more like shanghai style thick noodles

ya many years ago u cud just walk into a butchers here and get bones for free as long as u bought something else. same at the friday fish market, buy some fish and they u can get the huge fish heads they would otherwise throw away. but then more and more asians came and now they're getting wise that theres a market for these bones zzz
dude, haha I find it so funny watching stuff like this. every Chinese cook is going to use a meat cleaver for almost everything, ROFL. being Chinese myself, I understand this.

Of course we use the dishwasher. They're perfect drying racks!
