Youtuber, TikTok-er, chef, comedian and now entrepreneur Uncle Roger (Mr Nigel Ng) announced that he will be launching a ramen pop up with Matsudai Ramen in celebration of reaching four million followers. What better way to celebrate that with a hot bowl of ramen? The shop he is collaborating with, Matsudai Ramen is a prep kitchen in Cardiff that boasts it’s ‘the only proper ramen shop in Cardiff’. The pop up, which will appear at an as-yet-undisclosed location, will be serving bowls of Iekei-style ramen which consists of a rich pork and chicken bone soup with the addition of shoyu tare and schmaltz (rendered chicken fat). The noodles used are thick and flat and come served with pork chashu, spinach, nori, seasoned eggs (chicken or quail) and spring onions. Customisation is encouraged, allowing diners to choose the amount of fat and tare they use in their ramen bowls.
Uncle Roger’s latest Youtube video shows you the entire process from broth to pork, how the ramen’s made and where you can buy tickets. You can either enjoy the ramen at home by preordering their meal kits or go see it first hand at their pop-ups in London and Cardiff at some point in October and the locations will be confirmed at some point soon. Who knows? Uncle Roger might make a surprise appearance.
