Taster Tuesdays: Inside Jun-Men Ramen

Four Ramen dishes are highlighted - Pork Bone, Spicy Miso, Kimchi and Uni Mushroom. If you want to impress that from-out-of-town friend, the Uni Mushroom Mazamen is what you should order! Mazamen style ramen has been popping up at ramen restaurants recently. Essentially a dry ramen, Mazamen allows chefs to add even more unique toppings and coat the noodles in a variety of sauces. At first taste the Uni Mushroom Mazamen could be easily mistaken for a version of carbonara or alfredo fettuccine, it's coated with a porcini butter and truffle oil sauce tossed with roasted pancetta. To add a Japanese flare, fried shallots, scallions and uni garnish the plate. And like that, “surf and turf” ramen was born. [Photo via @andyeecai]
