Ingredients:
For the broth:
- 8 cups of chicken or vegetable broth (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1-inch piece of ginger, sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon miso paste (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh or dried ramen noodles (enough for 4 servings)
- Protein of your choice (sliced chicken, pork, tofu, or boiled eggs)
- Assorted vegetables (such as sliced carrots, mushrooms, spinach, green onions, and bean sprouts)
- Nori sheets, sliced thinly (optional)
- Sesame seeds (optional)
- Chili oil or sriracha (optional)
- In a large pot, heat a little bit of oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, chopped onion, and sliced ginger. Sauté until fragrant and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Add soy sauce and miso paste if using. Bring the broth to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer gently for about 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- While the broth is simmering, prepare your toppings. Cook your protein of choice separately if necessary, and chop any vegetables you're using.
- Cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process and prevent them from sticking together.
- Once the broth is ready, assemble your ramen bowls. Divide the cooked noodles among serving bowls. Ladle the hot broth over the noodles.
- Arrange your toppings on top of the noodles and broth. You can be creative here and add as much or as little of each topping as you like.
- Finish off your ramen bowls with optional toppings like sliced nori, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of chili oil or sriracha for some extra heat.
- Serve your homemade ramen hot and enjoy!
