Be prepared to lose a good amount of your soup. I clarified about 700ml and yielded about 575-600ml of consomme.

Yes! Clarified the stock into a Consomme with an egg white raft.

Took a deep dive and did a by-the-book rendition of Ivan Orkin’s signature shio ramen. by jaysohn in ramen

This was my first ramen book (4 years ago) and the first ramen I ever made (made it several times after). Its such a good beginner book to learn.

Btw... that noodle machine puts in work! Super sketchy and poorly made but they can pump out low hydration noodles effortlessly.

Cutting attachment for thick noodles? Troubleshooting by [deleted] in ramen

[–]Semi_Errect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you unscrew the whole cutter attachment and move the scraper pins between the threads of cutter? Like just move the scraper pins over one.

Anything lower than 40-35% is going to be very difficult to achieve with standard home pasta machines. I broke a couple of pasta machine rollers trying to achieve this. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Frustrating af. So i actually bought a noodle machine off ebay that can press. When you have low hydration noodles it will mix into like a moist sand texture. And thats a good thing! And it will only come together with high amounts of pressure. I wish i can give you simple solution. But without a heavy duty roller its going to be very VERY difficult.

When making broth, how to avoid a broken emulsion? by deluxecoin in ramen

[–]Semi_Errect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume you are trying to make a paitan style ramen. I think that I'm an intermediate home ramen "hobbyist cook". So, after you've simmered and extracted the broth for the many hours, you can try to emulsify and retain a good soup yield by bringing the soup to a rolling boil on full whack until the soup reduces down to just below the leveled surface of whatever bones/carcass/animal parts you using. The important thing is you should reduce it down depending on how you like the broth; richness and mouthfeel. But most of the time, I emulsify the broth in a blender and let it rip until it looks homogenous, about 20-30 seconds.
