    I have no idea how i've missed this thread for (checks watch) ten odd years, but i'm so stoked to have stumbled across it.

    I just made Continuity's version of ramen_lord's chintan ramen broth. Will post pics of the assembled dish.

    Question for those that have tried it, what are you using for tare for this dashi?

    I've made David Chang's bacon dashin ramen several times, and was planning to make shoyu style before stumbling my way here.

    Anyhow, stoked there are so many food oriented folks on the lolcube. Thanks for having me.

    • I can answer this question!!
      Despite my abiding adoration of tonkotsu and paitan broths in general, chintan is _probably_ the more versatile, in that chintan      Continuity

    • As such, the three tare types — shio, shoyu, and niso — will theoretically all work well, it all depends on what sort of bowl you want.Continuity
    • For example, Sapporo-style ramen is a chintan broth with a miso tare.

    • I suspect the smoked shio tare would overwhelm a chintan broth, _unless_ the bones were roasted well first, which is something I plan to try.Continuity
    • also, *miso, not niso. I'm not adeqately caffeinated yet.
      And the smoked shio tare is the one I *wouldN'T use with a chintan.      Continuity
    • Another tare I mean to try for chintan is yuzu-shoyu. Coincidentally, I just put some home-made ponzu in the fridge to steep for a couple of days ...Continuity
