Shoyu Ramen
Description
The Shoyu Ramen recipe starts by sautéing minced garlic and grated ginger in sesame oil to create a fragrant base. Adding prepared ramen broth and soy sauce completes the savory, umami-rich soup. The broth is strained to remove solids, resulting in a smooth liquid. Cooked ramen or chukamen noodles provide the foundation, while toppings such as soft-boiled eggs, sliced pork, vegetables, and seaweed add complexity and balance.
The broth is kept at a low simmer until serving, ensuring warmth without overcooking the noodles. This approach produces a flavorful, aromatic soup with tender noodles and a nuanced soy sauce taste. The components work together to create a satisfying meal with contrasting textures from broth to toppings.
Serving the ramen involves dividing noodles into bowls, ladling the broth over them, and arranging desired toppings on top. This flexibility allows personal customization and presentation tailored to taste.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic (minced)
- 2 teaspoons ginger fresh grated
- 2 cups ramen broth (found near the other soup bases/broths at the grocery store, see notes above)
- 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
- 6 ounces dry ramen noodles 2 3-ounce packages, see notes above, or chukamen noodles
- ramen toppings (see notes above)
Instructions
- Sauté garlic and ginger in sesame oil in a large saucepan until fragrant. Add ramen broth and soy sauce and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Strain broth through a fine mesh strainer into a large liquid measuring cup or bowl to remove garlic and ginger bits. Pour broth back into the saucepan and discard garlic/ginger pieces. Keep broth at a low simmer until ready to serve.
- Prepare ramen or chukamen noodles according to package directions (discard flavor packets if any). Drain noodles and set aside. Prepare your desired toppings (see above for ideas).
- Place broth in individual bowls and divide noodles between the bowls. Top with your favorite protein and vegetable toppings and serve.
Notes
- Choose toppings like soft-boiled eggs, char siu pork, scallions, bamboo shoots, and mushrooms for variety.
- Use ramen or chukamen noodles, discarding any flavor packets for best results.
- Simmer broth gently and strain to remove garlic and ginger bits for a clear broth.
