Ramen at Ippudo NY



I had to go to Japan to learn that ramen is much more than:
Notes
 Ramen’s boundaries are limitless.





With thousands of possible flavors and varieties, ramen is unique in that each dish is born from a chef’s individual and free, unconstrained idea and concept. Known as the Japanese “soul food,” a bowl of ramen contains that special something—the trifecta of soup, noodles, and toppings—that brings forth the cosmos and transcends all culinary ethnicities and nationalities.


The basic ramen broth is derived from the essence of pork, chicken, beef or seafood, and is seasoned with soy sauce, salt, miso and other various ingredients, depending on the chef’s personal preference. The noodles are made with flour, eggs, kansui (an alkaline water that provides a chewy texture), among other ingredients, and can vary greatly in thickness, length, form and texture. Toppings such as chashu (simmered pork) and tamago (flavored boiled egg) are also commonly used, as well as a number of vegetables like sweet corn, bean sprouts or dried seaweed.


Don't forget to order extra noodles! 
It's called “kaedama”

Fork Hill Kitchen

.

This space has been several things in the 28 years we have lived here, an Eco for many years and an Italian Deli come to mind.

Notes

Located in Union City, on top of Union Hill, Fork Hill Kitchen proudly offers an appetizing, approachable, and BYO option to residents of the rapidly developing neighborhood in which it resides and those of the surrounding Hoboken, Jersey City, and Weehawken communities.


Founded in 2019 by a local couple, Fork Hill Kitchen was built around a love for food and bringing people together, with executive chef Eric Clemente's casual, simple and modern American menu served in a warm, inviting atmosphere.


Drawing from his vast culinary experience and driven by a commitment to quality, Eric uses fresh, locally-harvested ingredients--many of which are sourced at area farmer's markets--to produce a unique, innovative menu that seamlessly blends flavors and techniques from around the globe.
