EASY HOMEMADE CHICKEN RAMEN

January 10, 2020 by Shazia Leave a Comment

Ramen is a Japanese noodle soup dish. The noodles that are used in Ramen are Chinese-style wheat or egg noodles.  The noodles are served in a delicious broth/stock alongside cooked protein and many different toppings.  The variations are endless for this soup and there are different styles of this soup.  This recipe is closer to SHOYU Ramen which has the soy sauce in the stock. This is not an authentic Japanese Ramen recipe but it’s packed with flavor and very easy to make at home.

RECIPE NOTES

BROTH-Homemade broth will be the most delicious to use in this recipe. This is the chicken stock recipe I have used in this recipe. When making homemade chicken stock that will be used in this soup make sure to not add to much salt. Because soy sauce, tamari are salty. You can always add extra salt as needed.

PROTEIN-I used the shredded chicken from the stock in this soup. You can marinade chicken, beef or pork in some soy sauce, fresh ginger/garlic or other Asian flavors than pan sear and use it in this soup or leave out the meats and add boiled egg.

VEGETABELS-I used baby bok choy and purple cabbage. You can also use spinach, kale, regular cabbage. Add other veggies like onions or mushrooms.

TAMARI-Tastes similar to soy sauce but less saltier and a little thicker in consistency. Most are also gluten-free. You can use soy sauce in place of this.

MIRIN- This is a Japanese rice wine mainly used for cooking. This gives a acidic and sweet flavor.  If you don’t have this you can substitute rice vinegar and sugar together. In recipe it calls for 1/4 cup Mirin. Substitue 1/4 cup rice vinegar with 3 teaspoons sugar. Make sure it’s not to acidic taste to see if it’s sweet.

SESAME OIL-If you don’t have this use a neutral oil.
