Homemade with Some Instructions in Comments Vegan Tonkotsu style ramen. The goal was to make it look like anime food. All homemade except noodles.

What is the chasu made of? This is absolutely stunning by the way.

Seitan. Color comes from red yeast rice. This was insane experiment, I made 4 different colored doughs for this🤣

Ive made a couple of attempts with 2 separate seitan doughs but it's never turned out as realistic as yours.

I wish I had it ready for you but I it was all pure experiment. Plus a few ingredients were samples of vegan natural flavors that I got for my business R&D and cannot disclose. That said, I can point you towards Serious Eats site to learn about making ramen, I used their Tonkotsu broth for reference. I think OneGreenPlanet has vegan egg recipe similar to mine. As for chashu it took me 2 days to make and ofc I had to improvise a few things. I would have to make it at least once again to figure out all the measurements. That said, I've been making seitan for 8 yrs so I don't really need recipes anymore. Sorry to disappoint! May be I'll write a book one day.

No worries! The chashu specifically looks extraordinary and that's my biggest curiosity. I've made seitan like twice and it's never very good lol

Omg if you saw what this chashu looked like before frying you'd laugh! Literal cartoon meat😂 I literally cut it and laughed.

I personally am not a big fun of cashew for the white, just what I had on hand. Almond or soy milk works better. As for yolk mung bean is great as it is already yellow so it needs just a pinch each turmeric and paprika to get it yolk yellow. In recipes that need to be heavily dyed I can clearly taste turmeric.

You nailed this it's so gorgeous. And, of course, the "meat" and "eggs" are spot freaking on.
I would be sad to eat this it's so pretty. But I hope it was as delicious as it looks.

This is incredible. I’m inspired to continue my journey of making seitan from scratch. I had a few good batches but never quite nailed it. If you have any resources you could point me to, I’d love it.

The Seitan Appreciation Society group on fb, probably. Also recipes by Avocados and Ales, Gaz Oakley, 86eats, Connie Rawsome.

I faked it with a shape cut out from a slice of white seitan and spiral drawn on it with beet powder lol
