Print Recipe
Servings: 4 people
Something easy and simple for when you want some ramen you can make it fancy or you can make it easy. This is inspired by the movie Panyo.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups chicken stock
  • 1 Tablespoon cooking oil
  • 1 Tablespoon each Chicken bouillon and Garlic bullion see notes
  • 3 Tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger minced
  • 2 Tablespoons mirin
  • 2 Tablespoons fish-sauce
  • 2 teaspoons of msg
  • 2 teaspoons of ramen packet seasoning see notes
  • 2 Tablespoons of brown rice miso
  • 4 soft boiled eggs
  • 1 whole ham steak cut into chunks
  • 2 bunches of 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 or until fragrant. Add the soy sauce and mirin, and stir to combine. Cook for another minute.
  • Add the stock and bullion. stir and bring to a boil. Simmer gently for another 20 minutes.
  • Fill a medium mixing bowl with ice and water.
  • 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.
  • Cut the ham steak up and add to the boiling broth as it gets warmer.
  • Remove the eggs from the ice bath and carefully peel the shell.
  • The Ramen noodles take about 3 to 5 minutes to fully cook and can cook in the broth.
  • Then when everything is ready, add to your bowl and assemble.
  • top with chopped green onion (optional).

Notes

  • The bullion brand we like to use is Better than Bullion.
  • Notes cook the eggs for 7 minutes, 6 minutes makes the eggs still too soft and uncooked. So keep an eye on the time I think the past 9 minutes almost make the egg too hard.
  • 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.
  • Get the Three Crabs Brand Fish Sauce. It has 3 crabs on the bottle the best fish sauce at an HMart or Pacifica Ocean Market.
  • The ramen cooks super fast so be careful to not overcook. Pull the noodles out when al dente since it will continue to cook.
  • Adding a small amount of white vinegar and baking soda to the water when boiling the eggs helps when peeling the eggs.
  • Older eggs are way easier to peel than new eggs. We have had allot of success with Costco cage free eggs (brown eggs).
