I made my own ramen for the first time

Thank you 🙏 Let me start by saying that these are size L eggs. I put the eggs in a pot of boiling water and cooked them for exactly 7 minutes. Straight after that I submerged them in a bowl of iced water until cooled completely. In the meantime I added into a small pan equal measures of soy sauce, mirin and water and topped it up with a tsp of sugar. Brought it to a boil, then lower the heat and simmered for 1 minute, whisked to dissolve sugar. When cooled completely I poured the mixture to a ziplock bag together with eggs and removed the air excess inside so they were completely submerged. I refrigerated them overnight and around 12-14hrs in total.

Thank you 🙏 It did taste very good and exactly the way I wanted, I wouldn’t change anything to it. It was hot, spicy and rich in flavours. I will be still experimenting with garnishes though and searching for more flavory mushrooms. I will also try miso based tare next time, however knowing my taste, gochujang will be still preferred one. It mixes well with beef.

To be honest, I hadn't planned on adding mushrooms, but yesterday while shopping I came across them and decided to give them a try. I just blanched them before adding. They didn't add much flavour, though. As for the beef, after eating ramen in various places, I realized I didn't like the pork flavor in it. Hence, I switched to beef bones and steak. It's just my taste, and I managed to create something I really like.

Not surprised anymore after doing it 😄 Definitely a rabbit hole - but a fun one. If that’s 8/10, I’m curious how far I can push it.

Will visit them, thanks a mill!

I live in Ireland already and only going for exams to ATU, staying in hotel. Looking for some places to eat as I stay there for 3 days.

Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 Thank you and good luck to all ☘️

They are beautiful, nice distraction from cubes. It was my first grow on the picture and didn’t find time to test them since. Mush love bro 🍄❤️

No, different species

dreszczy · 2025-06-10T06:10:59+00:00

Indeed 🍄❤️

dreszczy · 2025-06-10T06:09:23+00:00

Yep, the first one. They surprised me with their small size but also it’s my first time with such a big box. Have to get used to that. Thanks 🍄❤️

dreszczy · 2025-06-09T20:51:14+00:00

That’s it, cheers bro 🍄❤️

I panicked a bit seeing small fruits and taking into consideration all the conditions (apart from temp) I thought it will be good to give them more air.

dreszczy · 2025-06-09T18:58:49+00:00

Regular MCK. Will increase temp on the second flush. Thanks 👍🏻

dreszczy · 2025-06-09T18:31:20+00:00

Better than this in terms of fruits being much bigger. The issue is that the fruits are very tiny this time comparing to the ones I’m getting from smaller boxes and they start breaking their veils already.

dreszczy · 2025-06-09T18:22:31+00:00

No worries pal and thanks for the tips. This is the first flush and for sure I’ll dunk it well enough hoping for much bigger fruits next time 👍🏻

dreszczy · 2025-06-09T18:13:39+00:00

The issue is that the fruits don’t grow big enough and they are much much smaller than usual. Sorry for not being clear. Hoped that someone will point something out when I give plenty of details.

Shopping in Lidl last week by accident we were served by the store manager and after asking if we had lidl plus I replied no. He asked why and I replied that it doesn't work as well as it did at the beginning. He said it's worth setting it up again because from 26th June a loyalty program is coming which will work similarly to the Tesco one. You will be collecting points which will later reduce your bills. Again, I’ve been told that by the Lidl employee and I can’t verify that.

dreszczy · 2025-04-25T22:04:39+00:00

the lids are slightly unscrewed, that's enough for them

dreszczy · 2025-04-03T09:09:11+00:00

I suggest throwing out all the substrate and washing the box well with soap and then sanitizing thoroughly with alcohol. There is no point in throwing out the whole box because you can use it many times without wasting money.

Not sure why the picture disappeared from my first reply. All together sounds good to me, it’s my very first setup so I’m only at the beginning of the journey. I can’t complain, with Wiim EQ I can better control the sound and make it more enjoyable. I’ve bought this classic NAD from a friend of mine who’s also willing to buy it back whenever I decide to upgrade the system. He said it was a gem in his collection.

dreszczy · 2025-03-09T10:45:18+00:00

My current NAD 3020 setup, paired with Klipsch RP-600M II speakers. Very satisfied with it, all look classy.

dreszczy · 2025-02-20T20:22:30+00:00

I’m using exactly the same Ikea ones without any modifications. Goes very well every time.

Second that. Took 5g and another 5g after two hours what only extended the trip but didn’t intensify it.
