There are several other books, that I haven't read yet.
One of the things that book explains well is that there isn't really a 'traditional' Ramen. It is a fairly recent food innovation i.e. <150years as opposed to the other Japanese food categories >1000 years.
There are some staples. When I started on this quest I gotta say, I got too inventive too fast. Concentrate on your basics first:
Noodle
Tonkotsu Broth
Menma
Chashu
Soft boiled egg.
Make a perfect bowl with that and you can improvise from there.
p.s. I'm just a hobbyist and still working on those.
Ivan Ramen
Try this book: Ivan Ramen
It's part cookbook, part autobiographical story of a New York deli owner who moves to Tokyo and opens up a very popular ramen shop.
Ivan Ramen became famous for his shio ramen.
I'm a bit of a cookbook junkie, so I have a bunch to recommend. I'm interpreting this as "good cookbooks from cuisines in Asia" so there are some that are native and others that are from specific restaurants in the US, but I would consider these legit both in terms of the food and the recipes/techniques. Here are a few of my favorites:
Pan-Asian
Burmese
Cambodian
Chinese
Indian
Indonesia
Japanese
Korean
Malaysian
Middle Eastern
Philippine
Russian
Sri Lankan
Taiwanese
Thailand
Turkish
Vietnamese
(edit: screwed up a couple links)
It's worth a buy IMHO, cool to read about story behind his shop too. https://www.amazon.com/Ivan-Ramen-Obsession-Recipes-Unlikely/dp/1607744465
The recipe is about 30 pages altogether. It is from Ivan Orkin's book. Ivan Ramen
Only slight adjustments by me, like using the left over liquid from the pork to marinade the eggs instead of his recipe.
>magari comprare uno di quei kit con tutti gli ingredienti non freschi
Poco si sposa con la frase precedente sul farlo alla perfezione :-)
Comunque dalla mia esperienza farlo bene bene è veramente difficile e ci vuole tanto lavoro e tentativi. A Milano recupero quasi tutti gli ingredienti di base nei vari market asiatici ma rimane comunque un'approssimazione. Ho ad esempio difficoltà a trovare il fresco, tipo le ossa di maiale da usare come base per il tonkotsu. Ti consiglio di leggere questo libro per farti un'idea.

Love the idea!
Maybe add some cookbooks too. I love these two in particular for history, variety and recipes that consistently taste great.
Ramen Fusion
Ivan Ramen

I’m sure there are other items too but those are all things I’ve collected over time (except the katsuobushi- I just use the lower quality packets)
What an awesome and creative gift though. I might borrow that idea sometime too!
Ivan Orkin wrote a book, [Ivan Ramen,] (http://www.amazon.com/Ivan-Ramen-Obsession-Recipes-Unlikely/dp/1607744465/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1408377883&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=ivan+ramen) which has his famous Chicken broth based recipe. It doesn't take as long as pork based either!
I used Ivan Orkin's recipes from his cookbook, making some modifications - I simplified the dashi recipe to just rely on konbu and bonito, based on a recipe I got from a chef while in Tokyo. I also changed the noodle recipe, using buckwheat and bread flour instead of the prescribed flours. This was quite an undertaking; I think in the future I may try to use a less time-intensive shio tare recipe as well!
