How to recreate "Hikage" Shin-Kawasaki Ramen

Introduction

This is a recipe that recreates the char siu ramen from Hikage, a restaurant that represents Shin-Kawasaki in Kanagawa Prefecture.
The char siu ramen at "Hikage" is characterized by its clear salt soup and plenty of soft and juicy char siu.
The soup is packed with the delicious flavor of Seafood Dashi and is truly exquisite. The saltiness is just right, and the refreshing aftertaste makes it so delicious that you'll want to drink it all to the last drop.
The noodles used are thick, flat noodles, which is unusual. The thickness is just perfect! They have a chewy, fluffy texture that can be enjoyed just by eating them.
The thick yet tender pork slices are the signature of this restaurant. The rich flavor of this pork slice is soaked in that it's easy to see why fans return so often.
This is a recipe that uses commercial Ramen soup to easily recreate the taste of Hikage 's Chashumen.

How to make "Hikage" Ramen

Soup ingredients

• Water…15ℓ
• Minced chicken (thigh meat)...2kg
• Pork belly (7cm width)...6kg
• [Commercial Use] Pork Clear Soup (CP-BC6)... 5kg
• Dried sardines (white Dried sardine)...250g
• Mackerel flakes...100g

How to make soup

1. Put the minced chicken and 500g of water into a bowl and stir to form a paste.
2. Pour water into a pot, add the minced chicken, and turn on the heat (medium heat).
3. The minced meat will sink to the bottom, so scrape the bottom of the pot occasionally to mix.
4. When scum appears, remove it promptly.
5. Once the mince floats, add the pork belly.
6. Increase the heat once, remove the scum, and bring to a boil again, then reduce the heat to a slight boil.
7. After that, cook for 90 minutes, remove the pork belly, lightly sear the surface, and then marinate it in the char siu sauce.
8. Remove the minced chicken and use it for the Ginger rice bowl.
9. Add Dried sardine and mackerel flakes and simmer for about 40 minutes over low heat, but do not bring to a boil.
10. Collect the floating oil.
11. Once the flavor of the meat has seeped out, it will become the base of the flavor. [For commercial use] Add frozen pork clear soup (CP-BC6) and dissolve over low heat.
12. Once the frozen soup has thawed and the flavors have blended well, the soup is ready.

History and origins

Located near Shin-Kawasaki Station in Kanagawa Prefecture, the somewhat unusually named "Hikage" is a small Ramen shop with seven seats at the counter. Since opening in 2021, the shop has been run by the owner alone and is extremely popular, with queues always forming.
This bowl of ramen conveys the fact that a lot of effort has gone into not only the soup but also the noodles. The chewy noodles have a springy texture, almost like tapioca pearls, and are satisfying to chew, so you can enjoy the texture just by eating the noodles.
The minced meat rice bowl with Ginger is also a popular menu item.Everything on the menu is a little different, making this a one-of-a-kind Ramen shop.
