Quick and Cheap Ramen

1. In a large pot, bring water to a boil over high heat.
2. Add shoyu, chicken stock powder, sake, and mirin to the pot. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.
3. Meanwhile, cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
4. If using raw pork or chicken, thinly slice it and cook it in a separate pan until fully cooked.
5. To assemble the ramen bowls, divide the cooked noodles between two serving bowls. Pour the hot broth over the noodles.
6. Arrange the cooked meat slices, soft-boiled eggs (halved), nori pieces, sliced green onions, and any additional toppings on top of the noodles.
7. Serve the ramen immediately, allowing the toppings to mingle with the hot broth.

We recommend:

‍

• To make soft-boiled eggs, bring a pot of water to a boil and carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water. Cook for 6 minutes, then transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
• Customize your ramen by adding your favorite toppings like corn kernels, bean sprouts, bok choy, or even sautéed mushrooms.
• For added richness, add a drizzle of sesame oil or a dollop of chili paste to your ramen bowl.
