Shoyu Ramen
Shoyu Ramen offers comforting bowls of soy-flavored broth served warm over ramen noodles topped with protein and vegetables. The broth is made by simmering garlic and ginger in sesame oil, then adding ramen broth and soy sauce. This recipe highlights layering flavors and textures for a classic noodle soup experience.
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.
