Homemade Ramen
This comforting, healthy homemade ramen is perfect for a cool autumn afternoon, or a quiet sunny summer evening!
Ingredients
- Noodles (Udon or Egg are my favourite!)
- Miso Paste (Brown or White, depending on preferred intensity)
- Dashi Stock (optional)
- Chicken & Beef Stock cubes / pots
- 1x Onion
- 6 Garlic Cloves
- Pak Choi
- Baby Corn
- Beansprouts
- Beef or Chicken (optional)
Miso soup:
- Chop your onion and garlic cloves in half, and add them to a small pot filled with water.
- Chop your Pak Choi in half, separating the hearts and the leaves. Add two hearts to the vegetable pot.
- Bring the vegetable pot to a boil, then lower the heat and add the lid. Simmer for 30-45 minutes to create a rich vegetable stock.
- Strain the vegetable stock to remove the chunkies, leaving only the stock liquid.
- In a large pot or wok, add 4 cups of your vegetable stock and bring it back to a soft boil. Add 2 chicken stock pots, and 1 beef stock pot.
- Add the Dashi stock, then turn the heat to low.
- In a small bowl, add a heaped tablespoon of your miso paste. Add a few teaspoons of the stock mixture into the bowl and mix till it's combined, then pour it into the pot and stir.
- Add your pak choi leaves, your beansprouts, and your baby corn to the pot at this point. Stir occasionally until the vegetables are cooked to your liking.
Noodles and Meat:
- Cook your beef or chicken using your preferred method. Pan seared works fine!
- Slice the meat thinly once it's thoroughly cooked.
- Add your noodles to a separate pan and cook them with water. Strain once cooked.
Plating:
- Add the noodles to your serving bowl, then pour your miso soup over it. Add vegetables and meat to the top, then enjoy!
