Miso Ramen is a classic Japanese dish that has gained immense popularity worldwide. It is a comforting and flavorful noodle soup that is packed with umami-rich ingredients like miso paste, soy sauce, and mirin. In this post, we’ll share a recipe that has been tried and tested to yield a bowl of ramen that’s bursting with flavor and easy to make. So, let’s dive in!
Step By Step Instructions
Heat the sesame oil over medium heat in a large pot or Dutch oven. This will help bring out the sesame oil’s nutty flavor and create a flavorful base for the soup. The two most common types of miso paste are red and white, both of which can be found in grocery stores and used in various recipes, including Miso Ramen. White miso paste is milder and sweeter than red, making it a perfect choice for those who prefer a less intense flavor. The resulting broth is light and clear with a subtle umami flavor, a cornerstone of Japanese cuisine. Dashi broth is used as a base for many Japanese dishes, including Miso Ramen, miso soup, and udon soup. If you don’t have access to Dashi Broth and want to use it for soup, you can buy Dashi Powder (paid link) to make a quick and easy version. Add the minced garlic and sliced green onions to the pot and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes until they are fragrant. The garlic and green onions will add depth of flavor and aroma to the soup. Pour in 4 cups of dashi broth or chicken stock and bring the mixture to a boil. The broth will help to create a savory and umami-rich base for the soup. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add 3 tablespoons of miso paste, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons of mirin to the pot. Use a whisk or a fork to stir the ingredients together until the miso paste is completely dissolved. This will help to evenly distribute the flavors and create a smooth and velvety texture. Then add the chopped bok choy and 6 oz of ramen noodles to the pot. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until they are tender and cooked through. The bok choy will add a fresh and crunchy texture, while the ramen noodles will help to make the soup more filling and satisfying. Divide the noodles among serving bowls. Then ladle the miso broth over the noodles. Divide the bok choy into the bowls and serve hot topped with your favorite toppings. The combination of savory broth, tender bok choy, and hearty ramen noodles will make for a satisfying and flavorful meal. Freezing Instructions: Allow the soup to cool completely and then transfer it to an airtight, freezer-safe container or plastic bag. Freeze the soup for up to 3 months. To Reheat: Thaw the soup overnight in the refrigerator and gently warm it over low heat. Please note that the texture of the noodles may change slightly after being frozen and thawed, but the flavor should remain delicious.
