Steaming Miso Ramen Recipe

Ingredients:

8 cups chicken or vegetable broth

3 tablespoons white miso paste

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 cloves garlic minced

1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

8 ounces ramen noodles

1/2 pound thinly sliced pork belly or pork loin

4 soft-boiled eggs halved

2 cups chopped pak choi cabbage

2 green onions thinly sliced

1 sheet nori cut into strips

1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Instructions:

1. In a large pot, bring the broth to a simmer over medium heat.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, soy sauce, and sesame oil until smooth. Add this mixture to the simmering broth, stirring to combine.

3. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the broth. Let it simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

4. While the broth is simmering, cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions in a separate pot. Drain and set aside.

5. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the pork slices until they’re browned and crispy on the edges. Set aside.

6. Add the chopped pak choi to the simmering broth and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly wilted but still crisp.

7. To assemble, divide the cooked noodles among four bowls. Ladle the hot broth and pak choi over the noodles.

8. Top each bowl with sliced pork, two halves of soft-boiled egg, sliced green onions, nori strips, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

9. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade miso ramen!

Notes:

  • You can also add other toppings like corn, bamboo shoots, or mushrooms for extra flavor and texture.
  • To make the broth spicier, add a tablespoon of chili oil or sriracha sauce.
