Ramen – Japanese Noodle Dish
Ramen is a popular Japanese dish that consists of wheat noodles served in a savory broth, often with meat, vegetables, and other toppings. Here’s a simple recipe for making ramen at home:
Ingredients:
- 4 packs of ramen noodles
- 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 small carrot, julienned
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup chopped bok choy or other leafy greens
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp mirin
- 1 tbsp miso paste
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 boiled eggs, peeled and halved
- 1 cup sliced cooked meat (such as pork or chicken)
- 1/4 cup chopped scallions
- Nori seaweed sheets, sliced into small pieces (optional)
Instructions:
- In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
- Add the chicken or vegetable broth, soy sauce, mirin, and miso paste to the pot and stir to combine. Bring the broth to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- While the broth is simmering, cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a separate skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
- Add the julienned carrots and chopped bok choy to the skillet and sauté for another 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables are slightly softened.
- To assemble the ramen bowls, divide the cooked ramen noodles among 4 serving bowls.
- Ladle the hot broth over the noodles, making sure to distribute the vegetables evenly among the bowls.
- Top each bowl with some sliced cooked meat, a boiled egg half, and a sprinkle of chopped scallions and sliced nori seaweed (if using).
- Serve the ramen hot, and enjoy your delicious homemade ramen!
Note: You can customize the toppings for the ramen to your liking, using a variety of meats, vegetables, or other ingredients. Additionally, you can make the broth in advance and store it in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to use.
