Pork

I was joking for the record. Never had Japanese Ramen but I don't pass up a chance for a good bowl of Vietnamese pho whenever possible.

Another one of my favorites. What can I say I'm a noodle fiend.

Really? That's what you post? How much better homemade is? I hope you choke on it. I live in a place where bacon is almost unknown and you post how good homemade is. You suck.

Japan the bacon dry country.

Sounds like somebody needs to learn how to make their own. I assume there are pigs in Japan? If there are other Westerners there in your predicament, think how big a hero you'd be! It's very easy, BTW, provided you can source fresh pork belly.

Here's a great recipe to get you started.

This is not the ramen of which I speak. Japanese ramen is happiness in a bowl. It is like bud light and good beer: There *might* be a time and a place for each, but they are not comparable, even if both are called beer. Plus, they generally leave the out of Japanese Ramen and in its stead use and pork broth, at least it tastes like it.

+1 for that ne AdamK. I gorged myself on Ramen in Japan. The only place I can find on par ramen in Washington is a place in Seattle called Samurai Noodles. Homemade noodles and pork broth... Now I need to make a trip to Seattle!

There was a great place in Bellvue near the hotel for NHC called Boom Noodles. The Yakisoba was excellent. Yakisoba was my favorite meal in Japan.

Now you've hot me craving Okinawa soba. Haven't ever found a place in the States to get this.

Bacon is the reason God invented pigs. If you have pigs, you must have bacon.....unless you live in a completely godless country.

Not that silly Canadian version either...
