Late-night post-Moderat feast. Slow-cooked onsen egg nestled among the firm bosom of ramen noodles. Wood ear mushrooms, a cluster of green chives, a sounder of tender pork belly, all treading a cloudy miso broth. Momofuku-ish, but which came first — the American take, the Korean copy? (probably the latter) Are they fusion interpretations or foreign attempts at the real deal? (David Chang/the former, Korea/the latter)

This is just a dumb memo to myself punched out on my iPhone1.0-turned-iTouch.

God, the egg—the EGG!
