Miso Ramen

Contrary to our beliefs, ramen has its origins in China around 1800. The idea of noodles in a soupy broth traveled with Chinese immigrants in the late 19th or early 20th Century to Japan.

I'm a big fan of Asian cuisine, but I have to admit, I've never dared to cook Asian food, it seemed quite complicated. We've been flirting with the idea of trying to make ramen at home for a while now, because I've eaten out and really enjoyed it, and the Taste of Asia challenge fell flat. I chose to make ramen soup with miso paste and I can't tell you how good it turned out. Although it looks complicated to do, I promise you it's not and it's worth a try.

The secret for a good ramen is to make the broth from starch, but if you don't have the time for doing this, you can use stock cubes. Also, is very important to use good quality ingredients. I used bio wheat ramen noodles, soy sauce, sesame oil, miso paste, everything I used can be found on Asian Food online store.

Broth

2 kg beef bones with meat
2 cepe
5 căței de usturoi
2 lingurițe sare
1.5 l apă

Ramen

200 g ramen noodles
60 g dehydrated Shitake mushrooms
2 lingură miso
2 lingură soy sauce
2 lingură sesame oil
3 lingură semințe de susan
2 lingurițe fulgi de chili

Instructions

We start by preparing bone broth. Put the beef bones, peeled onions, garlic, salt and water in slow cooker and let it boil for 6 hours on low heat. If you have a multicooker, you can use it to prepare soup. Set slow cooker or multi cooker on high for 6-7 hours.
In a large bowl, put the strained bone broth, add miso paste, sesame oil, soy sauce and mix. Add the soup in a ramen bowl or in a deeper bowl.
In the meantime, we are dealing with the toppings. In a saucepan, add water, let the water reach the boiling point, turn off the heat and add the dehydrated shitake mushrooms. Leave them in the water for 10-15 minutes. After the mushrooms are ready, take them out of the water and cut them into strips.
In a pot add water and let it reach the boiling point. Add the noodles in boiling water and leave them for 5 minutes, then take them out and put them in the soup.
On top of the noodles add the mushrooms and the beef meat cut into strips, the finely chopped green onion, the boiled egg, and at the end we add the sesame seeds and chilli to taste. Enjoy!
