A Better Method to Make Chashu (bonus Chuuka Soba)

  • I tried a different method to make chashu and I think this is going to be my go-to way from now on for a few of reasons. 1. It tastes better than the old method I used to use. 2. You can make a lot of chashu and store it for whenever you need it. 3. The tare can be saved and used whenever you want to make chashu, making subsequent chashu sessions stupid easy. The pork belly I used in the video was too small so the final product doesn't look great, but it tasted great so please don't let that stop you from trying this out. It works with any size pork belly rolled or unrolled. I also used the braising liquid and the tare to make a bowl of Chuuka Soba (old style Shoyu Ramen). It was came out pretty awesome!
    Old Nikomi Chashu Method: • HOW TO MAKE CHASHU FOR...
    Original Japanese Recipe:
    • 【タレ】某有名店秘伝のチャーシューダレのレシ...
    • 【怒られる】某人気ラーメン店のチャーシューの...
    Ingredients:
    Pork belly (as much or as little as you want)
    Water
    Round onion
    Green onion tops (green parts)
    Garlic
    Ginger
    Tare:
    360ml Shoyu
    40g Sugar
    10g Salt
    5-6g MSG (optional the original recipe called for 10 but I went down)
    A few cloves of garlic
    10ml of Sake
    Green onion tops (green part)
    Method:
    1. Combine all the ingredients for the tare in a pot a bring to a boil.
    2. When it comes to a boil. keep it there for 2 minutes then turn of the heat and let it rest at room temperature overnight.
    3. The next day add the pork, green onion tops, round onion, garlic and ginger to a pot of boiling water.
    4. Skim off any scum that arises when the water comes back to a boil, cover and boil for 1-2.5 hours (depending on the size of the pork belly you have).
    5. Remove the Pork and Aromatics from the braising liquid and you're left with a soup that can be used to make ramen or curry.
    6. Mix 1 part braising liquid to 1 part tare to create the chashu marinade.
    7. Add each piece of pork belly to a ziplock bag and add just enough marinade to cover each piece. Work it into the pork then remove the air from the bag using a bowl of water.
    8. cool the bags of pork down in an ice bath then store in the freezer until you're ready to use it.
    8. If frozen solid when you want to use it, partially defrost in the fridge and slice thinly.

    Oh my god man, I've watched almost half of all your videos and I just wanna say thanks for making the recipes look and feel easy and also for inspiring me to start making some homemade ramen. As for a video request, I've always loved those fire chicken ramen from Samyang and I would love it if there was a way to make my own. They're probably not the most authentic of ramen but would love to watch you make it! No worries if that's not possible, I'll still watch your videos and be a loyal subscriber :) Have a good one mate!

    Actually followed this receipe the other day but I used a corn cob as an aromatic while boiling the pork. I have to say that the flavor was amazing and just added a warming element to the body of the soup. It didnt taste like corn but that earthyness aspect was in there.. It created an awesome and full filling balance..

    うまい!!! Thanks for sharing this! I tried a lot of Chashu recipes from different channels already and I always ended up with Chashu that was OK but somehow tough instead of the melt in your mouth type of Chashu. This method however is not only very easy, but also sooooooo delicious! The only problem is, that it is really hard to not eat all of it directly after I made it! :D
    It is so おいしい!!! I also use the tare for making Ajitama! Thanks a lot! Greetings from Germany!

    Dude! Thank you so much for this, and all your other videos too for that matter! You have inspired me to make homemade ramen again. :) This chashu recipe was super easy, and by far the most authentic tasting that I have ever made. I also made ramen from all the leftovers like you did, and it was fantastic! Tossed in some green onion, naruto, nori, medium boiled egg, menma, some enoki, and it was a full on ramen shop experience!
    On another note, can you make a video on Niko Niku ramen? I’m not sure if it goes by any other names, but the broth base is made with roasted veggies (garlic, onion and carrots) as well as roasted pork bones (I used pork rib bones from a backyard bbq earlier in the week). I only made that once a few years ago, but it was really good! I’d love to see your take on it. :)

      I personally cool down the soups quickly then store them in a gallon size freezer ziplock bag. This lets me store a relatively large amount of soup without taking up much space. Everything else I kind of just freezer in ziplock bags too. The chashu I keep frozen and just leave it in the fridge for a day before to defrost.

      badtz maru there are some packaged instant ramen that put a lot of ramen shops to shame. There is a kyushu style Tonkotsu dry instant ramen by a company called ‘Itsuki’ that is so good it makes me question why I spends days making it from scratch.

    I used this recipe to make Chashu and ramen with the leftovers + one of your recipes to make Ajitama and it turned out really delicious. The biggest disappointment was the bamboo shoots, I used some canned ones from the Asian section at Walmart and they just weren't as good as what I normally get at Ramen restaurants. Is there a brand you recommend looking for or a way to prepare the canned ones to make them better?

    I made this, and it was good, but the tare came out WAY intense - I wonder if it's because of the shoyu I was using? I used the one that says "soup base for noodles", the stuff in the orange and yellow bottle....350ml of that almost blew my head off, so instead of doing 1:1 broth and tare, I had to go 4:1. That helped, but still was wicked intense. I LOVED the chashu though - that came out perfect, and it's really hard to not just keep cutting slices off and torching them and eating them one by one. And I totally get why you mentioned the Top Ramen stuff; it definitely tastes like what they were trying to approximate.

    Me noob just puts pork belly strips in the oven, highest setting, highest slot, for about 30 minutes (or until about crispy outside, juicy inside)

    Would the tare/oil/broth mixture be alright to freeze (at the 4:38 mark for instance) with slices of the chashu for a week or fortnight? If it's fine this would be a perfect recipe for me when my executive dysfunction hits hard - nearly all the prep for multiple servings could be done in a few hours on a weekend and it sounds _so_ much better than instant noodles.

    Sun noodles at nearby Japanese market come with soup base and is kinda pricey just to use for noodles.

    • @WayofRamen

      Get some angel hair pasta and add 1 tablespoon of baking soda while you're boiling the noodles. That will work in a pinch.
      I had a video that I showed how to make noodles from scratch with baking soda but the measurements were wrong so I need to edit and re-upload. I need to work on my noodles anyway so maybe it was for the better 😅
