Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon Cooking oil
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons Fresh ginger minced
- 3 Tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Mirin
- 1 Tablespoon Chicken bouillon
- 1 Tablespoon Garlic bullion
- 6 cups Chicken stock
- 2 Tablespoons Fish-sauce see notes
- 2 teaspoons MSG
- 2 teaspoons Ramen packet seasoning
- 2 Tablespoons Brown rice miso
- 4 Eggs
- 1 Whole ham steak diced
- 2 Bunches dry ramen noodles
- 1 Bunch green onions chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large sauce pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger, and cook for a few minutes until softened and fragrant. Add the soy sauce and mirin, and stir to combine. Cook for another minute.
- Add the stock, bullion, and other seasonings and bring to a boil. Simmer gently for another 20 minutes.
- Fill a medium mixing bowl with ice and water and set aside to cool the eggs when they are done.
- Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Gently lower the eggs into the water. Cook the eggs for about 7 minutes in the boiling water. Carefully remove the eggs and move to the ice bath for 3 minutes. Then remove and carefully peel the shells off and cut the eggs in half lengthwise.
- Add the ham steak to the simmering broth until it gets warmed.
- Immerse the Ramen noodle bunches into the stock and fully cook, this should take about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Ladle noodles and broth into your bowl and top with egg halves and green onion.
Notes
- The bullion brand we like to use is Better than Bullion.
- For the Miso, you can use whatever flavor you like, if you want a nice flavor the Hikari Haccho miso is really good, and same with the red miso. Light or white miso has some flavor but not a lot.
- We like the Three Crabs Brand Fish Sauce. It has 3 crabs on the bottle the best fish sauce at an HMart or Pacifica Ocean Market.
- Make sure not to overcook the ramen -- you want them al dente and they will cook pretty fast.
- To make the eggs easier to peel, you can add a small amount of white vinegar and baking soda to the water when boiling.
