Japan ramen shops keep a solid steel egg in boiling water and drop it straight into your bowl if the broth cools to get instant heat.

These steel "eggs" (or hot, egg-shaped stones known as *yaki-ishi*) are not in boiling water; they are heated until red-hot in ovens or directly over a fire. 😎

Salt, pepper and heavy metals.. just the basics

I've literally never seen this in any Japanese ramen shop I've ever been to. In Fact most ramen shops are set up to where you get in and get out quickly. You're not in the shop long enough for your soup to get cold.

No boiling water in the world would make it that hot clearly that was heated with flame

that’s pretty sick. I’d accidentally pick it up to eat and turn into the ghost rider though

This was a very common cooking method of Native Americans as well, via smooth rocks

This practice is not standard practice in Japanese ramen shops... at least I've never seen it in any ramen shop I've ever been to......

If the soup is acidic, you're eating the metals

if your joints kinda suck a good way to keep the airflow correct is heat shrinking the tip. feels good to pearl one so solid that it doesn’t require it but a little water and a torch goes a long way.

Ramen, but make it a meal. My A-Sha Dry Noodle Zimm’s Roasted Garlic Chicken Ramen has a rich, savory broth with aromatic garlic, scallion and springy air dried, never fried noodles. I like to build on those flavors with roasted chicken, mushrooms and fresh cilantro for a hearty bowl that hits all the right notes. You can get Zimm's at a Target near you. How are you making your bowl of Zimm’s Chicken Ramen your own?

That ramen broth got an upgrade with a squeeze of lime! For some, it's "just the right amount of spice," but spice lovers might want to turn up the heat a bit. Ever tried it? #ramen #foodie

At −40, the air is ridiculously cold and extremely dry. When you throw boiling water into it, the water doesn’t have time to politely cool down. Instead, it instantly breaks apart into tiny droplets and vapour. Those microscopic droplets lose heat almost immediately. Some of them freeze so fast they turn into tiny ice crystals (the “snow”), while the rest flash straight into water vapour (the “steam”). The colder the air the better the reaction. Do not attempt to do this unless it is STUPID COLD! The boiling water will just fall down on you. Ouch!

Spicy Ebi Ramen 📍 Sapporo, Japan 🇯🇵 Taste Japan: Known as Spicy Ebi Ramen, this dish starts with a concentrated red chili sauce base followed by a rich, hot shrimp broth. Signature pink noodles, flavored with shrimp extract, are boiled and folded directly into the soup. The bowl is then topped with tender pork belly, fresh green spring onions, soy beans, and black mushrooms. As a historic capital of Japanese noodle culture and the birthplace of miso ramen, Sapporo is globally renowned for its hearty broths designed to combat cold northern winters. The intense seafood flavor and high heat of this specific dish perfectly represent the robust and continually evolving food scene of Hokkaido. Video: ebisennin.sapporo

“Microwave-safe” is a LIE if you care about your hormones. Dr. Shanna Swan, the world’s top expert on falling sperm counts: “‘Microwave-safe’ ONLY means it won’t melt. It says ZERO about the BPA & phthalates that leach into your food the second you heat it.” She says: NEVER put plastic in the microwave. Ever. Same with bottles left in a hot car — chemicals migrate straight into your water. Switch to glass or steel today or keep eating plasticizers. Your fertility is literally on the line. Who’s throwing out their plastic containers after watching this? 55-sec clip from Dr. Swan herself ↓

1. Drop your steak into hot water, does it break down or cloud the water? Not real meat. 2. Drop your fish into cold water, does it sink? It’s fresh. 3. Drop your chicken into cold water, does it give off a cloudy liquid? It’s pumped with chlorine.

🇯🇵 While a lot of tourists love going to chain ramen shops and standing in long lines, smaller shops such as Ramen Chonmage in Osaka are quite amazing. I went here once before and I found the staff to be so friendly.

A 50-year-old machine makes you a hot bowl of soba in 25 seconds at 3 AM. Somewhere along a Japanese highway, a flickering fluorescent light over an empty roadside hut. A box that looks like a refrigerator. You drop in three coins. You press a button. Something starts moving inside. Refrigerated noodles drop from above. Boiling water pours into the bowl. Then the entire bowl spins. Centrifugal force drains the water. Water pours in again. It spins again. Broth is added from above. A counter ticks down: 2, 1, 0. A steaming bowl of tempura soba sits there. Total time: 25 seconds. This is a Fuji Electric machine, built in the 1970s. Before convenience stores existed, it was invented to feed long-haul truck drivers something warm in the middle of the night. At its peak, there were thousands across the country. Today, only 50 to 60 locations remain. When one breaks, there are no replacement parts. The manufacturer no longer repairs them. When a machine dies, it's gone forever. And yet, they're still running. 2 AM on a Japanese highway, a 50-year-old machine still making someone a bowl of soba in 25 seconds.

This is how water turns into ice. As the liquid cools down, the amount of potential energy is reduced and the molecules start to move slower. When the water temperature reaches 0°C, the molecules stick together and form solid ice. [🎞️ spacerocx]

In 1945, the U.S Food and Nutrition Board recommended people drink 2.5 liters of water a day. Also in 1945, fluoride was added to the public drinking water. Coincidence? If you haven’t figured it out yet, it’s not in your water to keep your teeth healthy….
