Ingredients Group Label
- 200 grams Ramen Noodles Fresh or dried noodles.
- 4 cups Broth Vegetable or chicken stock.
- 2-3 stalks Green Onions Finely chopped for garnish.
- 2 pieces Soft-boiled Eggs Boil for 6-7 minutes, then cool.
- 1 cup Mixed Vegetables Bok choy, carrots, or mushrooms, sautéed.
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil For finishing the broth.
- 2-3 tablespoons Soy Sauce Adjust to taste.
- 1 teaspoon Chili Oil Add to taste for heat.
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the broth. In a large pot over medium heat, combine 4 cups of vegetable or chicken stock, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes to infuse the flavors.
- While the broth is simmering, prepare your ramen noodles. If using fresh noodles, cook them according to the package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes. For dried noodles, it may take a bit longer. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
- Next, add soy sauce to the simmering broth. Stir well and taste. Adjust the seasoning with more soy sauce or salt if needed. Let the broth simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- In a separate pan, heat a tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add your chosen vegetables and sauté for about 3-5 minutes until they are tender but still vibrant in color.
- In the last few minutes of broth simmering, prepare the soft-boiled eggs. Boil water in a small pot, then gently add the eggs. Cook for 6-7 minutes, then transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, peel the eggs and slice them in half.
- To assemble your ramen, place a serving of noodles in a large bowl. Pour the hot broth over the noodles until they are submerged.
- Carefully arrange the sautéed vegetables on top of the noodles, followed by the soft-boiled egg halves.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and a drizzle of chili oil if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Simple Homemade Ramen Recipe.
Notes
For a creamier broth, consider adding a splash of coconut milk or tahini just before serving. Customize with different proteins and vegetables as desired.
