ramen in portland - part 3 中華料理拉麺
Soup noodles is one of the most eaten meals for me. They are the most versatile dish whenever you want to spend the least amount of time cooking. I know, it seems counter intuitive. Making a bowl of delicious soup noodle from scratch can take a lot of effort. The broth alone takes hours of simmering. To take ramen for example, there are the slow braised chashu 义燒, half-boiled egg, chopped scallions, menma 麺麻, and toasted nori all need to be prepared.
In case you wonder, the Chinese "中華料理" in the heading means "prepared or managed by Chinese". In Japan one very often see this qualification on the store signs at ramen shops that is ran by Chinese Japanese.
