Ramen is a Japanese noodle dish. It is a part of Japanese Chinese cuisine. It includes Chinese-style alkaline wheat noodles served in several flavors of hot broth. Common flavors are soy sauce and miso, with typical toppings including sliced pork , nori, lacto-fermented bamboo shoots (menma), narutomaki, and scallions. Nearly every region in Japan has its own variation of ramen, such as the tonkotsu ramen of Kyushu and the miso ramen of Hokkaido.

Concentrated stock plus tare seasoning gives intensity and balance.

A customizable bowl with deep broth.

Ingredients

  • 8 cups chicken or pork broth
  • 3 tbsp soy-based tare seasoning
  • 12 oz fresh ramen noodles
  • 2 soft-boiled eggs, halved
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 2 nori sheets, cut into strips

Method

  1. Simmer broth with aromatics at least 30 minutes, then season with tare until balanced.
  2. Cook noodles in a separate pot just until springy and drain well.
  3. Warm serving bowls and add tare first to each bowl.
  4. Add noodles, ladle in hot broth, and top quickly so noodles do not overcook.
  5. Serve immediately while the broth is very hot.
