  • I didn’t ever try the sausage on it’s own, only with the soup, noodles and other toppings but it fits perfectly as designed. We make a dumpling filling that we also sell as a sausage, this is just an incomplete version of that, as the other ingredients (aside from cabbage) are elsewhere in the dish.

    Next time I’ll add salt to the broth. Even without sauce it could have used a dash or two. I’ve been eating a ton of sausage lately and wanted a low(er) sodium meal.

    We all LOVED it, multiple coworkers rate it restaurant quality. I’ve never made ramen from scratch before (believe it or not I’ve never even soft boiled an egg before!) so while I admit this is a super simple dish to make I still take it as high praise.






  • There is a restaurant in Toronto called Conejo Negro (Black Rabbit) that got a Michelin recommendation a year or two ago. Not a star but still mad clout. Their plating is much closer to OP’s than the assembled-by-tweezers visual art projects people associate with haute cuisine.

    I’d rather eat OP’s plate than an algorithm🤣







  • Farce is rooted in a Latin word meaning “stuffing”. It’s what we call the prepared meat filling we intend to pipe into the casing.

    Fun fact the word botulism is from the Latin word for sausage. They discovered botulism when a batch of sausage was spoiled so it is forever known as the sausage bacteria despite it being present all over the place.

    I have no idea about specific practices, standards or regulations in Australia, only anecdotally from a friend who’s from there. He’s a few decades my senior and has been in Canada for even longer so take it with a grain of salt. I imagine quality will vary shop to shop just like everywhere else. Like I said most retail shops won’t generate nearly enough for it to make sense using, if anyone is doing it it’s the mass processors who actually generate tons of sawdust.

    Lap cheong is a lot of work. The ramen dish I make with it will be worthwhile. I’m using bone broth from the same hog.
