Instructions
Broth
- Pour 1000 ml water into a large pot and add 10 g dried kelp (kombu) and 10 g dried sardines (niboshi), soak for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, place the pot on the stove and heat on medium. Heat to almost boiling.
- Once it's almost boiling, turn the heat down to simmer and add 3 chicken wings, 15 g bonito flakes, 20 g ginger root, 2 cloves garlic and 50 g Japanese leeks (naganegi). Simmer for 30 minutes. (While it's simmering you can work on the tare steps below.)
- When 30 minutes have passed, pour the broth through a sieve lined with kitchen paper.
- The completed broth should be golden and clear.
Tare
- Heat a small sauce pan on low/med-low and add ½ tbsp lard. Once it's melted, add 50 g chicken skin.
- Fry the chicken skin until crispy/browned on both sides and the fat has rendered out, this typically takes about 10 mins.
- Remove chicken skin (you can eat it or use it as topping), then add 100 ml water, 50 ml soy sauce, 1 tbsp sake, 1 tbsp mirin, ½ tsp sugar and 1 pinch salt to the pan. Simmer for 15 mins.
- Divide into two bowls or allow to cool and store in the fridge until you are ready to use it.
Assembly
- Cook 2 portions ramen noodles according to the instructions on the packaging.
- Add half of the tare to each of the two bowls. (If you increase the recipe, divide accordingly.)
- Add 300ml of hot broth to each bowl and mix.
- Drain the water from the cooked ramen noodles and place an equal portion in each bowl.
- Add the toppings of your choice.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- If you have space on your stove you can make the broth and tare at the same time to speed things up
- NOTE: The nutritional value is based on when you drink up the soup (we rarely drink up the soup when it comes to ramen)
