>>243actually, the predominant stereotype is that ramen (especially fattier, pork-heavy styles) is "men's food". perhaps epitomized by the culture around "jiro ramen", a chain of shops serving an over-the-top style (picrel) alongside gatekeeping rituals like making you call out a series of modifications to your order in a specific sort of code known as a "call".
anyway, it isn't exactly known for being approachable for women. also, loads of ramen shops will have a "women's bowl" that's basically similar to a kids' menu option. I don't think it's really a sexism unique to ramen though, just your usual japan shit

I'm always happy to share recipes/tips if you're interested! I won't lie though, ramen from scratch is a lot of work.

it's half of a butterflied chicken breast, pressed flat a little, salted at 1.5% by weight and rested 24hrs. then toss in salted flour, then dip in beaten egg, and press into panko. fry in ~325F oil (start at 350F to offset initial drop), until slightly less golden brown than you want (carryover heat will keep darkening it), flipping constantly. flipping is most important at the start, to stop it from arcing into a bow shape.
once you take it out, optionally dab onto paper towel and then move to a rack for cooling without condensation. add a little extra salt here too.
optionally slice and you're good to go!
the sauce, iirc, was a mixture of homemade mayo and homemade fermented fresno hot sauce. I should make that again...
No.1611
>>1610btw baking at ~400F on a rack is also totally viable if you don't feel like deep frying, though it's not as good. if you want to bake them, you should pre-toast the panko before coating the breasts, otherwise they won't brown much at all during the final cook. you can do that in a pan with a small amount of oil, or on a baking sheet (shuffling the panko occasionally to make sure browning is even)

>>3767>The crust looks especially nice.thank you!
there are a lot of things that could effect the crust quality depending on the type of pizza you're going for. I wanna say the biggest factor is just controlling the dough fermentation properly - make sure you're using enough yeast, proof for the appropriate amount of time under reasonable ambient temperatures, learn to recognize proofed vs overproofed, etc.
I actually do a cold ferment for my pizza dough, and often I freeze the raw dough, thaw it, and then use it. cold ferments are great for flavor, but they also can make timing more lenient, since the fermentation is so much slower. so maybe try looking up a cold ferment pizza dough recipe!

today's ugly pizza! mozz, green bell pepper, green onion, anchovies.
I tried out many small changes at once, to learn.
sauce made from drained canned tomatoes -> big success; much easier to sauce the pizza without issues while launching. I used 80g this time, but with this sauce I bet I could easily load on extra without much trouble. I suspect I'm losing flavor, though. the water is probably the most flavorful part of the tomato. something to try may be reducing the water content of the can and then mixing it back in, though this will significantly change the flavor profile of the sauce, since the heat will cook the liquid.
proofed in wider circular container instead of tall deli container -> saved a little time shaping, and the pie turned out pretty round. not sure if it's a game changer, but I bet it helps make the final shape a bit more even.
slightly lower hydration dough -> produced less height in the crust. dough was nice and easy to handle this time, but that could be a product of the last two experiments too.
slightly longer bake time -> pushed this one to about 7.5 minutes. crispy darkened bottom, with some crunch in the crust too. occasional bits of burnt flavor. for me, this is past ideal, both in flavor and texture. will go shorter next time.
other notes:
24hr fridge-dried mozz pieces were overly dry, creating an unattractive blobby look as seen, and impaired texture. best to dry for less time.
needed more fat, especially with the added vegetables. the mozzarella felt leaner than I expected. after a few bites I hit the whole thing with a few grams of olive oil, which improved it greatly.

>>4033aw, thanks! you should try making pizza too, if you like! though you might need a little equipment to bake it nicely in a home oven
>>4053I put green onion on almost everything :^p
the clam was alright, but surprisingly not as intense a flavor as I expected! I kinda wanted to mix clam juice into the sauce, but was afraid of making things too wet.
also, some of the clam pieces came out a little chewy from getting overcooked, so maybe adding them under the cheese or halfway through baking would've been an improvement.
it tastes good though!
