Never in my years of learning (school, college, tutorials) have i experienced such an amazing mentor. Caring for what he cooks with passion and explains with such emotion in an easy-to-follow format. I have replicated this finally and it was perfect! Thank you, Sensei.
"I don't need to invite 40 of my close friends around to enjoy this ramen." Why do I believe Adam not only HAS 40 close friends, but that they'd all be there in 20 minutes to share a meal with him?
This person should be on the top. He is spreading his knowledge is the most simplest way possible. Adam Liaw, unlike any other chefs, I've got so much respect for you
It's amazing to me how complex and meticulous ramen preparation is, although it's essentially considered a fast food in Japan. I spent some time in Tokyo this summer, and the ramen shops there offer an incredible variety of ridiculously good dishes for under 10 USD. Also worth noting many shops are owned and run by true masters of their craft, all while remaining accessible to the working classes. It's just the best!!! Thanks for showin' us the basics Adam :-)
@@bikeomatic8005 He actually talked about it in the video, when he was summing up all the numbers @ 15:35 It went from 6,5cm to 8,5cm without the vegetables. When he added the vegetables, it went back up to about 5cm and after simmering it went to 7cm. This would mean 4cm of liquid in his pot has been evaporated during the overall time of the process. Quick note: during both steps (without and with vegetables), he lost (about) 2 cm of volume. 2 cm of volume = about 1,23 liters per step
Man, i totally lost it and LOLed at work at 10:16 when after 10 minutes of meditative talk and sweet music the dude took out that orc shaman cleaver and cut the onion in half with it. Most manliest cooking knife i've ever seen, cook on mate! :D
Nooo it’s absolutely is not. I also doubt any of you have used a nakiri if you think that thing is one. A typical nakiri is about 1/3 of that height. That’s a straight up cleaver. To be fair a nakiri does look like a small thin cleaver.
@@jotarokujo3603 nakiri=Japanese vegetable knife That thing=something around the Chinese cooking knife, which isn't actually a cleaver, more like a bigger, santoku knife that you can use for almost anything, depending on the part of the knife and the technique you use
Hi Adam, thanks for breaking down the little steps of making ramen and narrating it with all the cultural insights. I probably watched like 20 Ramen tutorials and made around 10 Ramen broths myself, but this one might be the best one yet. I am looking forward trying it myself! Thanks a bunch again! I just got 2 questions: Do you wash the bones before cooking them? And please make also a tonkotsu ramen episode. This is the one i am struggling most. Greeting from Germany!
I agree. I also make ramen, and I also learned from the internet, and I found this one to be the clearest. He even adds the Japanese name for the broth (chintan), which nobody else does. They all of course use tare all the time, but for the broth they just say broth or soup. I love his consistency!
this. i've made it so many times since watching that video. i don't even measure anymore, i found out it doesn't really have to be exact..it always tastes great.
Dear chef Adam I have seen this particular video maybe a 100 times trying to find ways to substitute things for example fish and seafood is hard to find where I live and being a predominantly Muslim country pork is out of the question which comes down to my favour if you would be willing to experiment and teach us about using mutton, lamb and beef and their for example goat trotters are a delicacy here but it would be super interesting to see how you would utilize them also cooking them is so much more difficult because they are tougher and sometime cooking times and heat are difficult to manage especially for me. sorry for the very long comment hope you and everybody who watch this video are keeping safe .
Making stock of any kind is a process that I love. It is the slow simmering of different ingredients. It is the liquid of possibilities! Many are put off by how long the process takes, but actually there is little work in making stock. You stand back, enjoy the smells in the house, the puttering with the skimming, and the anticipation of the end results, that can be made in advance, frozen, and used later in so many dishes. This is a GREAT instructional video! Breaking down the things that make Ramen. Thank you!
This is a pro, culinary school instructive :) This is by far one of the best videos out there. Not for the exact measurements of ingredients, but for teaching how to navigate the process rather than "follow this exactly". With ramen You can reach a thousand destinations through million ways, and understanding the way is priceless. Instead of "ingredient is ingredient" approach You equip people to handle change, I for one keep the log for years now, simple reason, my suppliers don't always get ingredients of same exact quality, so I test each batch of kombu and other ingredients so i can understand the ingredient first. Amazing that You made this.
Bro, I’ve been having a rough week. This video brought me sooooo much peace. Informed. Engaging. Empowering. Absolutely beautiful video. I hope you’re having a beautiful day. Thank you for producing this.
This is amazing! If I had one request/piece of feedback, I'd love for you to put words on the screen in Japanese/English for some of the foreign words so I can write things down! Thank you so much for your work!
Adam is our National and the world's treasure, he is one of the most enlightened souls, so worldly and humble. From culinary, which leads you down the rabbit hole of, history, philosophy and culture of Japan. Adam will always be my number one choice for my dream dinner party guest list.
Wow! I found this video searching for soup bases and am thrilled to have stumbled here! So much content per minute, quickly & articulately delivered, and a breadth of useful tips. Really well done and thank you for all the advice! The metal ruler is genius...
A friend just pinged me this. I'be been doing some "ramen" at home, using some fast methods, but I really want to get to do the real thing. Thanks for such a detailed explanation, you are awesome! Regards from Argentina
I read so many articles trying to understand the basic idea of ramen and how to do it - But they more or less just confused me even more. Your explanation is sooo valuable - I can‘t thank you enough! Now I‘m getting more and more of the whole idea and I am happily looking forward to try again :)
So much effort has gone into this video. All the information and the knowledge you get in a 20 minute video is priceless. This channel deserves to to have 10 million subscribers in the next few years or so.
What a heart warming guide, most of ingredients are not available in my area so when you say try with what is available in your region it is heart warming :))
You are a brilliant teacher, you you have a calming way of explaing the process, I got a lot from you're dumpling course, so I'm looking forward to the Ramen.. Thankyou Adam.
Adam this is just unbelievable how you can share your complex knowledge with us and the fact that you are writing down every ingredient and every aspect of the process, it really makes you a professional. Bless.
You are an extremely good teacher. But, more than that, you are a beautiful beautiful human. I can just tell that you are a kind and generous soul. Thank you for this! The world needs more of you.
All that I want for Christmas is my Liam cookbooks, recently found your training videos and all that I have being doing is preparing the chili oils, aromatic sweet sauce, broth, mixing them and is the best Asian food we have ever tried at home, we have been all over the city looking for great noodles and our best is raki raki restaurants but this recipes of yours are by far the best flavors, home made... I have read oriental food since I was 12 years old and Adam Liaw is the best, I'm nothing but eternally grateful to God for finding him and his discipline and love for cooking, love your voice and your calm manners in the kitchen that makes the cooking even more pleasant, very inviting to try Asian cooking
I really appreciate you taking your time and making this video. So many times videos like this are rushed and a novice can’t follow along. The relaxed pace you proceeded with made me feel as if it’s something i could put together in my own kitchen. Again, thank you so much!
Adam, I would love to see more on how you log data when it comes to cooking. I recently found your channel and instantly recognised you from your past endeavours. I was worried you were giving youtube a break and am so glad to see this video. On another note, I have been in a ramen phase at the moment, and this video could not have come at a better time.
I've been one of TH-cams BFF for YEARS. Why haven't we met before today. You are wonderful:cooking tracking sheets, multiple versions of one recipe, detailed instructions, rulers, ramen philosophy- we are soul mates🤣.
I love the way you teach. Your voice is so calm and soothing. Most chefs need to learn a thing or two from you. Screaming at people in the kitchen is a put off for me. Thanks for sharing
I love these series. The way I teach myself how to cook is to pick a dish and repeat it every week until I really get a feel for what I'm doing. Then I start riffing off the recipe in a similar way to how you're going about it (though I haven't been keeping a log). The downside is that I can only cook a few dishes, but I find that changing it up more often leads to me being a bad-to-mediocre cook forever.
Hands down one of the best cooking channels on TH-cam. Very educational as we learn the secrets behind so we know how to think for ourselves once we start experimenting. Thanks Adam, you`re awesome!
I used this tutorial serious to make my first "authentic" bowl of ramen that wasn't just me finding things around my house and using them. I had to make a few adjustment, I used shrimp instead of those fish flake things (couldn't find them anywhere) and dried seaweed instead of Kombu (not sure if it is even close to the same or not). With all that said it was definitely the best Ramen that I have ever had in my life, and I'm a ramen head for sure. It ended up lasting me about a week, eating multiple bowls a day. And everyone that tried it agreed it was the best they've had. I'm going to try again soon with better ingredients and a bit more experience. Thank you for this series and thank you for seriously upgrading my ramen game. The next step is learning how to actually pull the noodles myself.
I have been a professional cook for 10+ years across several continents and I know when someone is legit. You have to really sift through hundreds of omelette-murderers, clickbaiters and other assorted foodtube grifters to find a channel like this one - one with genuinely useful and authentic techniques delivered in an utterly unpretentious manner. Kudos dude you really have a quality channel here. No "I try to make spaghetti using a spork and a toaster oven - here's the result!" or " 5 quick and easy steps to gluten-free, dairy-free, flavour-free mac'n'cheese!" just a rock-solid tutorial that anyone can learn from whether they "can't boil an egg" or they've worked for years in every kind of restaurant imaginable. I would recommend this channel to anyone interested in understanding Japanese cuisine.
This video made me a subscriber to your channel. It's perfectly explained steps, simple instructions, and a friendly inviting host. Thank you for your time and effort.
Wow! Obviously a labor of love.6 hours and that is just for the broth, I was proud of myself for holding out 3 min to steep my "Top Ramen". Now of course I am discussing the difference between coal and a diamond. A good diamond is rare and takes precious time to create. Great Video, thank you for sharing.
Where have you been all my life?! 😄 Best instruction from a chef I've ever seen; and believe me, I've seen a LOT. I love that he explains WHY we're doing things, which will inform ALL of our cooking. The extra "bites" of the Philosophy behind things are just (as we say in New Orleans)"lagniappe"...that extra-special something.
Also, any chance of a vegetarian dumpling recipe? My partner and I do weekday vegetarian, meat weekends. Would love to be able to make our own weekday dumplings.
Love your ramen school. And your take and videos learning me a lot. Would be so happy if you also could show us a vegan ramen broth if you thing that is possible to pull of.
Once in a while i get obsessive about making something I've never made before. Something different. My latest obsession is Ramen. I've viewed so many different Ramen recipes and I ended up confused and frustrated. I remembered viewing a couple of your videos amongst many others. Finally, it occurred to me that it might be a good thing to watch your "Ramen School" series. Watching this first video, I finally feel I'm starting to understand "Ramen". Basic, simple, coherent - that's the way to learn from lessons like these. Thank you - and now on to the next series of my continuing education. Cheers.
Aside from teaching people to make great food, you could easily teach people how to make a great cooking instructional video. I am so glad I stumbled onto this channel. Take a bow...and Thank you.
She should feel so lucky to have a boyfriend who can really cook and create a wonderful meal from scratch. Many men don't know how to cook and think grilling is the same as cooking.
@@cgillas Yeah, I,v been sent to other countries to cook for billion aires and offered restaurants. but I am actually a musician, thats my real passion. Cooking for people gets to hard. Cooking for her was really hard. she cant have gluten.
Dude, don’t lie. You can’t even get a meal out to your girl without her questioning how long it takes. Nobody would ever let you in a professional kitchen, certainly not to cook for anyone important. I can guarantee you’ve never set foot in a working professional kitchen There’s never a reason to fuck around and dawdle when you’re cooking. It’s literally not possible because the food won’t wait for you. The issue you have with gluten is the real nail in the coffin. If you knew any basics about food you’d realise that gluten isn’t nearly as common or difficult to avoid as people make it seem.
i have been SEARCHING for EVER for a good video on Ramen, not that the others arent good but i just think Ramen needs more than a 15 minute video . Thank you so much!!! Because of you I am going to get my family to finally try real ramen!!!
I would be highly interested in a vegetarian version of Ramen and how to achieve a similar umami flavour in them. Thumbs up for the philosophical approach!
My husband is from Taiwan, and says my dumplings (from scratch) and my ramen (I use the packets, but only some of the powder and add in fresh ingredients, so sorta not really from scratch) are the best. I'm so excited I stumbled on this, because now I can learn how to do some *real* ramen completely from scratch so I can knock his socks off. :) Thank you!
😂😂 hahaha ....yes, I think so too.....great tip , never thought of chicken feet and pig trotters for stock! Brilliant !! I can’t wait to watch whole series... Ramen school. I may not go out for ramen after I learn how to make ramen soup. You are so meticulous, I really , really enjoyed this video ... I too am writing down notes as I cook and tweak recipes , but man ...you are way , way ahead of me in this methodology! Where did I put my metal ruler from my high school days ??? 😃😀 this is your laboratory 🔬
The love and passion shows through, your patience and explanation of the things your doing is top notch, your not just making a you tube video....You are teaching..thank you🍲
I tried making some homemade ramen with some friends yesterday and while it tasted great, I could tell I was missing some fundamental understanding of the process and how to do it properly. This video is fantastic and honestly, I could listen to you talk about ramen all day
Thank you for coming at this from the angle of teaching process and technique, and not just a recipe. There is so much focus on following a group of steps and not understanding the why, which is how you actually learn.
Is there anyone who is interested in opening up a ramen shop in nz together? if there is, give me a message. i am originally from Kyushu the mecca of Tonkotsu ramen. I've been cooking in a professional kitchen for more than 12 yrs. and have trained in a one of the popular ramen shop in Tokyo. I am a resident of NZ, and need a business partner.
I love to cook...especially Asian food and I watch tons of cooking videos to help me sharpen my skills. But I just discovered your site and it's like being in culinary school. It is detailed, organized, articulate and friendly. Just made a scratch batch of tongotsu ramen and it was okay but I see several things from your series that will definately improve my next batch. Most impressed.
When he said “Welcome to Ramen School.” I literally felt grateful, feels like I received a present 🎁.
FINALLY - a youtuber that actually breaks down the ramen process. I can actually learn how to do this!!!

No "I try to make spaghetti using a spork and a toaster oven - here's the result!" or " 5 quick and easy steps to gluten-free, dairy-free, flavour-free mac'n'cheese!" just a rock-solid tutorial that anyone can learn from whether they "can't boil an egg" or they've worked for years in every kind of restaurant imaginable. I would recommend this channel to anyone interested in understanding Japanese cuisine.
I love your accent, Adam. And the way you talk! This is one of the most engaging food videos ever. Clear, straightforward, pleasant. Thank you.
This video made me a subscriber to your channel. It's perfectly explained steps, simple instructions, and a friendly inviting host. Thank you for your time and effort.
I’ve been on a mission to make amazing ramen from scratch for a few weeks now, how did I just discover your videos. SO HELPFUL
Oh, so excited for this! Your recipes are always so yummy!
Consider sharing your ramen journal? 🙈
Wow! Obviously a labor of love.6 hours and that is just for the broth, I was proud of myself for holding out 3 min to steep my "Top Ramen". Now of course I am discussing the difference between coal and a diamond. A good diamond is rare and takes precious time to create. Great Video, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for talking about temperature with kombu. Have watched a lot of nice kelp get obliterated on youtube cooking channels. 🤟
Where have you been all my life?! 😄 Best instruction from a chef I've ever seen; and believe me, I've seen a LOT. I love that he explains WHY we're doing things, which will inform ALL of our cooking. The extra "bites" of the Philosophy behind things are just (as we say in New Orleans)"lagniappe"...that extra-special something.
Also, any chance of a vegetarian dumpling recipe? My partner and I do weekday vegetarian, meat weekends. Would love to be able to make our own weekday dumplings.
Grated firm tofu is a good replacement for ground pork in dumplings.
Easily one of the best cooking shows on TH-cam and I reckon the most informative
Love your ramen school. And your take and videos learning me a lot. Would be so happy if you also could show us a vegan ramen broth if you thing that is possible to pull of.
Once in a while i get obsessive about making something I've never made before. Something different. My latest obsession is Ramen. I've viewed so many different Ramen recipes and I ended up confused and frustrated. I remembered viewing a couple of your videos amongst many others. Finally, it occurred to me that it might be a good thing to watch your "Ramen School" series.
Watching this first video, I finally feel I'm starting to understand "Ramen". Basic, simple, coherent - that's the way to learn from lessons like these.
Thank you - and now on to the next series of my continuing education. Cheers.
Interesting video. For dumpling school I was looking forward to your take on soup dumplings :)
Omg! Yes!
Aside from teaching people to make great food, you could easily teach people how to make a great cooking instructional video. I am so glad I stumbled onto this channel. Take a bow...and Thank you.
My girlfriend doesn't understand why it takes so long when I cook.
She should watch this. If not she can have taco bell
How someone can not understand why someone needs time in the kitchen? You do everything right :-D
She should feel so lucky to have a boyfriend who can really cook and create a wonderful meal from scratch. Many men don't know how to cook and think grilling is the same as cooking.
@@cgillas Yeah, I,v been sent to other countries to cook for billion aires and offered restaurants. but I am actually a musician, thats my real passion. Cooking for people gets to hard. Cooking for her was really hard. she cant have gluten.
Dude, don’t lie.
You can’t even get a meal out to your girl without her questioning how long it takes. Nobody would ever let you in a professional kitchen, certainly not to cook for anyone important.
I can guarantee you’ve never set foot in a working professional kitchen
There’s never a reason to fuck around and dawdle when you’re cooking. It’s literally not possible because the food won’t wait for you.
The issue you have with gluten is the real nail in the coffin. If you knew any basics about food you’d realise that gluten isn’t nearly as common or difficult to avoid as people make it seem.
i have been SEARCHING for EVER for a good video on Ramen, not that the others arent good but i just think Ramen needs more than a 15 minute video . Thank you so much!!! Because of you I am going to get my family to finally try real ramen!!!
I would be highly interested in a vegetarian version of Ramen and how to achieve a similar umami flavour in them. Thumbs up for the philosophical approach!
I was lost but now I've been found by one of the most relaxing cook masters ever. I humbly now down before my master so that I may learn
An extraordinary lesson. Adam is the best chef and a great teacher. (The music was a bit overpowering though, don’t you think?)
The music was jarring
My husband is from Taiwan, and says my dumplings (from scratch) and my ramen (I use the packets, but only some of the powder and add in fresh ingredients, so sorta not really from scratch) are the best. I'm so excited I stumbled on this, because now I can learn how to do some *real* ramen completely from scratch so I can knock his socks off. :) Thank you!
Nooo Adam! You’ve just increased the price of trotters and chicken feet everywhere... (it was meant to be the Asian secret!)
😂😂 hahaha ....yes, I think so too.....great tip , never thought of chicken feet and pig trotters for stock! Brilliant !! I can’t wait to watch whole series... Ramen school. I may not go out for ramen after I learn how to make ramen soup. You are so meticulous, I really , really enjoyed this video ... I too am writing down notes as I cook and tweak recipes , but man ...you are way , way ahead of me in this methodology! Where did I put my metal ruler from my high school days ??? 😃😀 this is your laboratory 🔬
We use them here in Mexico a lot too
Michael Wu hahaha agree
Yes, the Caribbean people are also concerned with the potential price of chicken feet and trotters.
Never been to the south
The love and passion shows through, your patience and explanation of the things your doing is top notch, your not just making a you tube video....You are teaching..thank you🍲
Interesting. Your method at least partially contradicts every other method I've seen. Most of them are very long cooked.
Nah man no contradictionn just a different type of stock than say, tonkotsu stock
I tried making some homemade ramen with some friends yesterday and while it tasted great, I could tell I was missing some fundamental understanding of the process and how to do it properly. This video is fantastic and honestly, I could listen to you talk about ramen all day
The background music is to loud for me. But the video otherwise is great.
I have never run into a cooking show that does a deep dive into process. Holy shit 45 seconds in and I'm pumped! We need more of this!
Why all his videos sound like the last 5 minutes of church?
Thank you for coming at this from the angle of teaching process and technique, and not just a recipe. There is so much focus on following a group of steps and not understanding the why, which is how you actually learn.
Can you maybe shownus a few vegetarian dishes?
Has to be the absolute best into to ramen class on the internet. Absolutely, amazingly done. Thanks so much
I spent 3 days making the broth, but I forgot to add the philosophy, so I had to chuck it in the bin.
Won't even try to deny it. This guy is my current culinary crush. Love his videos!
Is there anyone who is interested in opening up a ramen shop in nz together?
if there is, give me a message.
i am originally from Kyushu the mecca of Tonkotsu ramen.
I've been cooking in a professional kitchen for more than 12 yrs. and have trained in a one of the popular ramen shop in Tokyo.
I am a resident of NZ, and need a business partner.
please contact me at 786 384 1341
contact me 7863841341 thank you
Did you find your business partner?
I have watched this so many times, taking in one extra detail each time. Your voice, the presentation, and the music are sooo calming!
Bruh why is it 20 min long
Thought the same thing
Too much bullshits apparently 😅😅😅
I love to cook...especially Asian food and I watch tons of cooking videos to help me sharpen my skills. But I just discovered your site and it's like being in culinary school. It is detailed, organized, articulate and friendly. Just made a scratch batch of tongotsu ramen and it was okay but I see several things from your series that will definately improve my next batch. Most impressed.
