I am looking for a cookbook about ramen and wonder if anyone could recommend one? I am a complete beginner when it comes to Ramen, but not a beginner when it comes to cooking.

I would like something that explains all terms simply, and possibly some alternatives for hard to get ingredients I might not find here in England.

    Not a book but Adam Liaw did a short YouTube series called Ramen School. His videos are great. Relaxing and he explains the purpose of every process succinctly.

    It’s not a cookbook but you might appreciate The Way of Ramen on YouTube.

    It’s a neat channel that is no nonsense and it does a good job of bringing restaurant methods to the home cook, a lot like YouTubers such as Ethan Chlebowski do.

    A great cookbook with both authentic (and good!) recipes and a lot of helpful articles on how to find substitutions is

    Just One Cookbook

    It’s a little americentric in what they expect you to have at your local store, but between amazon, a good specialty Asian store, and some creative experimenting you’ll find almost everything and might even find better adaptations.

    Be prepared for a lot of reading to start with, as you follow the links to substitution lists, variants and deep dives in each component of the Ramen dish.
