It's not a review, it's a guide

1. When the guest comes in through the door, look at him when he says "Welcome", otherwise he will immerse himself in work, and pay attention to observe the guest while he is waiting (observation points: whether he is in a hurry, whether he is hungry, whether he is new Guest, is he drunk, is he the guest you want);

2. Below;

3. Cut pork, don't cut too thick, don't cut too thin, 3mm is the most suitable;

4. Serve the prepared noodles to the guest and see his reaction. If he starts drinking the soup directly, it means that your soup is not piping hot. This is a fatal mistake.

5. Exercise arm strength, and the water change should be clean and quick;

6. The action of the cooked noodles into the bowl should be smooth, not sloppy;.

7. The whole process of cooking noodles should be controlled within 3 minutes;

8. If you are a woman, you need to exercise your body, explained muscles, stronger than men; (didn't understand why)

9. Go to other noodle shops and observe the shortcomings and excellence of other shops

tips

Don't have any extra actions during the cooking process, keep it simple;

Check to see if the guests have finished the soup in the bowl, because the soup makes the noodles more delicious;

Exercise memory, remember what time each customer ordered, and what special dietary preferences;

You can ask (cheating) the cooking methods of successful noodle shop chefs in a smart way.

10. Noodles are very sensitive things, and every step has to be done perfectly. Let's look at the basic rules of soup:

Chicken spoils quickly so be sure to use the freshest chicken available, both chicken and pork have strong flavors, so blanch them before cooking, rinse in cold water, and don’t cut vegetables (green onions, carrots, mushrooms, Ginger?), the key is the heat, the correct control of the heat can cook the essence of the elements, but it must not be boiled too much, the soup will never be clear, and the impurities must be filtered out with a slotted spoon, if possible, add some pig's head Meat (interesting topping).

11.

Invite a few powerful/experienced guys to exchange experience, assign full-time staff, and have a clear division of labor

12.

It's best to keep it minimal, with only pork, pickles and spring onions, and no more than 3 sides on the menu.

13.

Pick a nice name, something catchy, unvulgar, feminine, and appetizing-sounding

14.

Go to other popular noodle shops and rummage through the trash to see what other ingredients are used (chicken, pork, dried sardines and fish head meat in the movie)

Try the elasticity and toughness of those noodles, whether they are smooth and elastic, and pretend that the diners cheat the boss for the recipe and ratio.

15.

Listen to the objective evaluation of customers;

16.

Make the noodle shop comfortable, cute and bright

Tampopo quotes

  • Man in White Suit: I'll kill you if you make that noise once the movie starts! Understand? And... I also don't like watch alarms going off.

  • Student of ramen eating: [voiceover] One fine day... I went out with an old man. He's studied noodles for 40 years. He was showing me the right way to eat them.

    Student of ramen eating: Master... soup first or noodles first?

    Old gentleman: First, observe the whole bowl.

    Student of ramen eating: Yes, sir.

    Old gentleman: Appreciate its gestalt. Savor the aromas. Jewels of fat glittering on the surface. Shinachiku roots shining. Seaweed slowly sinking. Spring onions floating. Concentrate on the three pork slices. They play the key role, but stay modestly hidden. First caress the surface with the chopstick tips.

    Student of ramen eating: What for?

    Old gentleman: To express affection.

    Student of ramen eating: I see.

    Old gentleman: Then poke the pork.

    Student of ramen eating: Eat the pork first?

    Old gentleman: No. Just touch it. Caress it with the chopstick tips. Gently pick it up and dip it into the soup on the right of the bowl. What's important here is to apologize to the pork by saying "see you soon." Finally, start eating-the noodles first. Oh, at this time, while slurping the noodles, look at the pork.

    Student of ramen eating: Yes.

    Old gentleman: Eye it affectionately.

    Student of ramen eating: [voiceover] The old man bit some shinachiku root and chewed it awhile. Then he took some noodles. Still chewing noodles, he took some more shinachiku. Then he sipped some soup. Three times. He sat up, sighed, picked up one slice of pork-as if making a major decision in life-and lightly tapped it on the side of the bowl.

    Student of ramen eating: What for?

    Old gentleman: To drain it. That's all.
