Separate the broth and noodles
Cook the pasta separately and add the stock when serving, so it will not become soggy.
This everyday ramen recipe relies on good broth, a spicy soy miso base and separately cooked noodles. The toppings are prepared and placed in the hot broth only when serving.
Why this recipe works
Ramen thrives on layering: broth, seasoning paste or tare, noodles and toppings each have their own task. The noodles should not be left in the broth, but come freshly cooked into the bowl. This way they remain elastic and the soup appears clearer.
Recipe
Ramen is a Japanese noodle soup with a rich broth, tares, ramen noodles and toppings such as egg, spring onion, mushrooms, nori and chicken or tofu.
Heat the stock. Stir in the soy sauce, miso, mirin, sesame oil, garlic and ginger and leave to marinate for 10 minutes.
Cook eggs until soft, fry mushrooms or simmer, blanch pak choi and cut spring onions.
Cook the ramen noodles separately according to the package specification. Drain and spread immediately on bowls.
Pour hot broth over the noodles. Add chicken, tofu or pork belly, mushrooms, pak choi, egg and nori.
Finish with spring onions and eat directly before the noodles soften.
Kitchen know-how

Ramen is more relaxed when eggs, mushrooms, vegetables and protein are ready before cooking the pasta.
Stir in the soy sauce, miso and mirin gradually to prevent the broth from becoming too salty.
