      @@judspizzy Kombu is dried kelp, used traditionally in making dashi or broth. It's tough, fishy and is used pretty much used exclusively for cooking. Nori, on the other hand, is roasted seaweed. It's light, crunchy, still fishy but with hints of salt and the roasting process. They're not only different plants, but taste different and serve different purposes. A minor slip up, sure. But context matters in this case, especially.

      Making homemade ramen noodles, unless you want to develop it as a skill, is more trouble than it’s worth. It requires more advanced technique than other varieties of homemade pasta, and is very easy to get wrong. If you don’t have a lot of practice, your homemade noodles will probably be worse than what you could get at an Asian supermarket.

      Idk how it is in America, but in Europe shop noodles are just as good as home made. If you are profesional chef then you have skills to make better noodles at home, otherwise I don't think so.

    I don’t like the editing on this episode. We kept jumping around from chef to chef too quickly so it was difficult to follow what each person was doing. That’s especially important when we have several different components. Also, Rose did not discuss the relative merits of the cookware. Sauce pot versus Instant Pot (how long was the pressure cooking?) and big stock pot (8 hours).

      Most of the time when you eat soup dishes in Japan or even in some Japanese restaurants in other countries, they usually give you a Renge spoon since some people like to start with the soup before eating the noodles. I like eating the noodles first though since it gets soggy the longer I let it soak in the soup.
