Reviews
I going out on a limb here and rating 5 stars based on the incredible video by Jet. It’s 16 minutes of great instruction and it was entertaining and fun to watch. Lots of ingredients, most of which I have. Learning the best techniques for miso soft ramen eggs was worth it alone.
Made ramen eggs and pork belly recipes also. Delicious!!! Husband and I both love!
Amazing Jett! Tastes like it took hours to make but super easy. I cheated and just browned pork belly I got from Trader Joe’s. Only used 3 tbs of red miso. Make ASAP!
