This is my boy Naruto my family's
favorite anime and this boy can eat. He just loves ramen and his favorite one is
this one; tonkotsu miso ramen straight from Ichiraku's ramen shop. And today I'm going to be
showing you my take on naruto's favorite ramen. And the first thing we gotta do is char siu aka
chinese barbecue pork and as you can see naruto has great taste. I mean take a look at this! Give me
that by itself and I'm already happy. And to make it it is extremely easy and here's how. The first
thing we need to do is to marinate so I started with a little bit of white wine, followed by sesame
oil, then I added miriam, dark soy sauce, brown sugar and white pepper. Now all there's left to do is to mix
it well because your marinade is done. Now this is going to be perfect for a pork belly, talking about
that, here it is. I want you to notice that this one is without the skin and that's because we're going
to be using it for ramen if it was for something else we definitely want a crispy chicharron. One
other thing that you got to look for in a pork belly whenever you're making ramen is to ensure
that it has plenty of meat, because by default it already has a lot of fat. And to marinate it
what I like to do is to put it in a vacuum bag this will ensure that the entire surface of the
meat is fully covered with the marinade. As you can see once I was done everything is nicely coated.
You want to let it marinate for at least 12 hours or better yet overnight. The very next day I
took it out and this is what it looks like. The dark coloration is a sign that the marinade did
its job and hopefully it infused in a wonderful flavor inside of the pork belly. Now the next thing
we need to do is to go ahead and roll this up so that we can cook it. And as you can see my piece
is not that large. So the first thing I try to do is to just roll it into itself like this, and man
that does not work because take a look at this. It's just not a good idea. The best way to do is to
go ahead and split it open a little bit more, this will give me more surface area so that I can roll
it into itself. Once it was completely butterflied it made the job a lot easier. The only thing left
to do now is to tie it up because once I was done take a look at this. Now that is what I'm talking
about! We want to do this not only for a great presentation but it will also cook evenly. Talking
about that the next thing to do is to go ahead and throw it into my smoker. For that i chose a
temperature of 300 degrees fahrenheit, not only is it gonna cook nice and fast but it's also gonna
give a wonderful smoky flavor. And if you don't have a smoker you should definitely get one, but
it is also possible to cook it in your oven, just always remember to have a nice large pot on the
bottom so that it can catch us all the rendering fat. Because once you hit an internal temperature
of 165 degrees fahrenheit this is what it looks like. It is now fully cooked, however I am missing a
little bit of char on the top. The smoky flavor is a hundred percent already there but a nice little
char is gonna go a long way. So for that I just grabbed my torch and went to town. This is quick
work, it literally takes about one minute to do and the results is definitely noticeable. Now before
slicing the pork belly you want to let it rest for a little bit, if you don't the juices is just gonna
completely run out. So after you rested about one hour it was time to slice. And as I did oh I could
not be happier. I mean take a look at it! This by itself in a sandwich is amazing and I am a hundred
percent sure in a ramen it's gonna be real tasty that is how easy it is to make char sui Naruto style.
Moving on to the next ingredient we gotta prepare we're talking about the broth. This one is where
all the flavor comes from and remember this, it's not a race but it is a marathon. Naruto's favorite
ramen as you guys already know it's tonkotsu which is usually made with pork bones but since I did
not have any and it was hard to find I went to the next best thing which is ribs. Come on now, ribs for
ramen yes! That's what I'm talking about! Now this next ingredient is not traditional whatsoever but
I wanted to add it to my ramen because I love it and so does everyone else in my family. And as you
can see it is beef bone marrow. This has an amazing flavor and hopefully it's going to take my ramen
to a whole new level. The next ingredient I'm going to be adding is this one. Now I know what you're
thinking. What? That doesn't look good and I agree, because I mean who loves chicken feet? No one. But
I'll tell you one thing it gives an incredible flavor to your broth and if you've never tried
it i highly recommend. So now that I have all of my meats ready the next thing to do is to
go ahead and get it cooking. And for that I added everything into a large stock pot, throw
in a good amount of water and took it outside, because this is gonna take a while. I turn the
gas on on my powerful stove and let it boil for about 20 minutes. As you can see a lot of scum
is gonna come up right on top. That has to go. If you wanna have a nice clear taste of your broth
you gotta get rid of it. You can skim it little by little and that's okay, but what i like to do
is to discard the whole first batch of water. I'm telling you if you do this your broth will taste
better. So once everything was out I went ahead and refilled the pot then I started another boil and
if any scum comes up continue to remove it as much as possible. Because after about four hours
the next thing to do is to add a bunch of other ingredients. And here's what I chose for this broth;
we got ginger, garlic, scallion, carrots and onions. You are welcome to add any other if you like and
one more thing I love to add into my broth is mushrooms, it gives an incredible umami flavor to
it. So after adding it all up I just make sure to stir it all around because now it's time to leave
it alone and I'm talking about an additional four hours, but trust me there is a huge reward in the
end. Once that time was up I went ahead and added even more flavor and here's what it is; into
boiling water I threw in a little bit of kombu aka dry seaweed, followed by a little bit of bonito
flakes. Let that simmer for about five minutes and strain it. This gives a wonderful umami flavor
to your broth and you saw how easy it is to make, so I highly recommend this one. So after adding
that up to the stock the next thing to do is to cover it up and let it boil for an additional six
hours because once that time is up your broth is ready. The only thing left to do now is to strain
it because once you are done you are rewarded with this. I'm telling you friends it is incredible
a wonderful rich flavor that is hard to explain, but so easy to enjoy, it is delicious. However it
is still not a hundred percent done yet because we need to add two more special ingredients and I'm
talking about miso. And as you can see I chose the red and white adding both gives a wonderful flavor.
Just make sure that once it's added you stir it well so everything can combine. But now that our
broth is ready the next thing to do is to start up our toppings. And the very first one we're
gonna make is eggs these are super easy, however at the same time super delicious. I like mine soft
boil to get those result I like to boil my eggs for a total of 6 minutes. Once the time is up I
immediately throw them into an ice bath this will prevent it from cooking any further. And to peel it
I like to use this method; I slowly break up all of the shells and throw them right back into the bowl.
The little microscopic cracks allows water to go inside making the peeling a lot easier to do. The
next thing we gotta do is the marinade. So into a bowl I threw in a little bit of soy sauce, followed
by miriam, sesame oil, a good amount of brown sugar and finish that off with water. Mix it well because
once you have done so the only thing left to do is to add it to the eggs. Keep in mind that the longer
you keep them in there the stronger the flavor of the marinade will penetrate. For me at least three
hours in the refrigerator is good enough because as you can see with that time they turn dark real
quick. Imagine how you would be if you leave it overnight. And these eggs are good on anything even
with rice by itself. Jumping onto the next topping we gotta make nenma aka bamboo shoot. Now this one
here you're either gonna love it or hate it. And to make it it is super simple. As you can see this
is what it looks like, there are other kinds but the only one I was able to find was this one here
on my Asian supermarket. So after straining it I added a little bit of sesame oil into the pan and
threw them in there, then I added a good amount of chicken stock, followed by a little bit of mirin
and of course soy sauce. I mixed it well and cooked it for about five minutes. Once all of the liquid
was evaporated the only thing left to do was to add a little bit of chili oil. The only thing left
to do was to stir it because my menma was done. That is how easy it is to make this topping
and like I said you either gonna love it or not. Moving on to the next topping this one might be
the most popular of them all, I'm talking about narutomaki, and there's no way that you can make
Naruto's favorite ramen without this. And I gotta be honest it is difficult to find, not every Asian
supermarket has it so if you find it make sure you buy a good amount. And if you wonder what this is
it is fish cake the pink thing in the middle is just food coloring and I think I understand
why naruto likes this very much. Check out the ingredients, do you see what I see? Monosodium
glutamate aka msg the king of flavor. The very next toppings we gotta prepare is scallions. There is
no secret to this whatsoever you just gotta chop it up and it's ready. Now the last one and maybe
the most important one of them all is the noodles. I've chose these at least for me they are the
best ramen noodles I ever had. I just followed the packaging instruction for the cooking and it was
ready. It is pretty simple there's no secret to it. But now that we have everything ready the only
thing left to do is to plate it up and enjoy Naruto's Ramen. So now I say it is enough talking
and it is time to plate and eat. So let's do it! All right everybody here we have our beautiful
ramen today Angel. No steak today. -Today, today on Shikamaru guys. -What does it look like to you?

to do really is to try it, you know what i mean? Yes it's a little bit of work to make ramen
but when you make it at home it's phenomenal, I'll tell you that right now. How does it taste

all I can say. -Naruto knew what he was eating though. -I don't know if i did it his way but at least
it's my way. Okay try the pork let me let me know about the pork. Cheers everybody! That is ridiculously amazing come on. -You know I asked him, I asked him Guga, you make a ramen video, like the naruto one? And he was like oh yeah because he's watching with
his kids, and then what did you say? -Let's do it! I'll tell you one thing everybody, is it a little
bit of work? Yes it is, it is totally worth it though a hundred percent worth it. -I will say, I
will say -Yeah?. -Naruto eats this like an animal. -I know right I was trying to do it but
you were talking I didn't want to be rude. The slurping. -He eats that thing like an animal. -He don't play around.
