Ramen Hack

This hack is all about decking out a bowl of ramen. This hack works with ANY prepackaged ramen. Whether it be dried noodles or fresh ones. I usually get the Sun Noodle Brand Shoyu Ramen from Costco. It comes in a 4 pack with 2 servings a pack!

All you need is the noodles, we are going to make our own broth with just 4 simple ingredients! It’s so quick and so easy to make this delicious spicy miso ramen.

Ingredients!

For the Broth:

• 1.5 cups water
• 2-3 tablespoons of miso paste
• 2 tablespoons of gochugaru (korean chili flakes) or more depending on your spice preference
• 1 tablespoon of mirin

For the Ultimate Bowl:

• 1 serving of ramen noodles (go for fresh or dried, your call)
• A sprinkle of shredded cheese (adds a creaminess)
• 1-2 Ajitama Japanese boiled eggs, cut in half
• A small portion of kimchi
• A drizzle of sesame oil
• Fresh chopped green onions for that finishing touch

*All these topping are optional but soooo good together. Customize your favorite ramen toppings!

Instructions:

1. Let’s Build the Broth:

1. Heat up a pot and pour in the water until it comes to a gentle simmer.
2. Mix in the miso paste and chili flakes and stir until the miso is dissolved. Take off heat

2. Prep Those Awesome Toppings:

1. While your broth is getting all cozy, cook up those ramen noodles according to the package. Drain and set them aside.
2. Chop up some green onion and take the cheese and kimchi out of the fridge.

3. It’s Ramen Assembling Time:

1. Place the cooked ramen noodles into your fave bowl.
2. Ladle that sizzlin’ spicy miso broth right over those noodles. No holding back!
3. Sprinkle on some shredded cheese. (The heat from the broth should melt it in a few minutes.)
4. Get artsy with arranging the toppings!
5. Drizzle some sesame oil to finish.
6. And enjoy an EPIC noodle pull!
