{"product_id":"marutai-kumamoto-black-garlic-tonkotsu-ramen","title":"Marutai Kumamoto Tonkotsu Ramen Packet Black Garlic Oil 186g","description":"\u003cp\u003eA packet of Japanese ramen you cook in a pan: thin straight noodles in a pork-bone (tonkotsu) soup, finished with a sachet of black garlic oil. The oil is garlic fried black in lard and vegetable oil, then ground, and it is what ramen from Kumamoto, in Japan's south-west, is known for. It gives the soup a strong burnt-garlic flavour. Buy it if you like garlic and want an everyday ramen for two; if you want a thick, heavy pork-bone broth, this is the wrong packet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the pack: 熊本黒マー油 とんこつラーメン, with 熊本 (Kumamoto) large on the front. Mayu (マー油) is the Japanese name for the black oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you're getting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe black oil comes in its own sachet, one per serving, and goes in at the end. It is garlic oil, not sesame oil; the sesame on the allergen list is a little sesame oil in the soup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt smells strongly of garlic while it cooks, and the smell carries through the room. Not one to make in a shared office kitchen.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe noodles are thin, straight and dried rather than fried. They cook in three minutes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNothing comes on top. The egg, pork and greens in the picture are a serving idea; a boiled egg and sliced spring onion from any supermarket are the easy additions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAllergens\u003c\/strong\u003e: contains wheat, milk, crustacean (prawn), sesame and soy. Read the pack's own label before you rely on ours.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlso on the label\u003c\/strong\u003e: the soup is made with pork extract, the black oil is made with lard, and it also contains chicken, gelatine and a seafood extract whose sources are not named. Anyone who avoids pork or meat should skip it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo servings in one packet: two bundles of noodles, each with its own soup and oil sachets, so you can cook one and keep the other. Marutai also makes a plant-based Kumamoto ramen in a 180 g packet; this is not that one.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marutai","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67561375039714,"sku":"SH-NDL-0030","price":5.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0824\/1312\/5858\/files\/marutai-kumamoto-black-garlic-tonkotsu-ramen-front.webp?v=1790847109","url":"https:\/\/shintop.com.au\/products\/marutai-kumamoto-black-garlic-tonkotsu-ramen","provider":"Shintop Trading Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
