This was sad news to hear. I felt he was a great inspiration to try new things and experience different culture. Always in search of a good bowl of noodles.

Steps

1

Start the broth, add all of the first broth ingredients except the additional cup of water. Bring to a simmer in a sauce pot.
2

Add 6 cups water and the baking soda to another pot. Bring to a rapid boil. With a slotted spoon, carefully drop eggs in the water. Cook exactly 6 minutes for soft boiled. 10 minutes for hard boiled. When done, immediately remove from heat and run under cold water. place ice cubes in water. Peel as soon as you are able to handle them.
3

Triple layer enough cheesecloth to make a seasoning bag. Add those ingredients on the cloth. Crush the bay leaf. Wrap bag around seasonings. Twist top and tie with butchers twine. Add to the broth. Let simmer 15 minutes.
4

At this time, work on preparing the garnishes. Arrange on a plate and set aside.
5

To the broth, add all of the finishing ingredients. Mix well. Let simmer another 15-20 minutes
6

Thinly slice the fish. Set aside until serving.
7

In another pot, add 6 qts water, 2 tbs chicken bouillon, and 1 tbs sesame oil. Bring to a boil. Add noodles and cook until al dente. Drain. When you add the noodles to the water, add the additional cup of water to the broth.
8

Bring broth up to a rapid boil
9

Immediately place noodles in a bowl. Top with raw fish slices. Slowly drizzle the boiling broth over the fish. This will cook it. Add a halved egg, I prefer soft boiled, and 2 sheets roasted nori. Serve with plate of garnishes. Add what is desired. Enjoy.

cooking is a passion of mine. I started when I was very young and I had to drag a milk crate around to see over the counter. taught by a career cook (my grandmother ). I have always tried to push the boundaries of conventional cooking. I prefer cooking wild game. when I can get my hands on it, but fish is more readily available for me. I raise and butcher most of the livestock that I use for my conventional recipes. I hope everyone can find a few recipes they like in my list.
