Best Japanese Ramen Noodle Soup Recipes

EASY JAPANESE RAMEN NOODLES

Steps:

• Open the ramen soup sachet (note 7) and squeeze the contents out into a serving bowl.
• Boil about 600ml (20oz) water in a kettle.
• Boil water in a small to medium pot to cook noodles. If noodles are stack together, untangle as much as possible then add to the boiling water.
• Using chopsticks or a fork, untangle the noodles to separate individual strands. If water starts bubbling and reaching to the rim of the pot, reduce the heat to medium high to medium so that the water is still boiling rapidly but does not overflow.
• Cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute and drain (note 8).
• Add 400-500ml (13.5 - 16.9oz) of boiling water (note 9) from the kettle to the serving bowl with the condensed soup, then transfer the noodles into the bowl. Tidy up the noodles to submerge in the soup.
• Place topping of your choice and serve immediately with chilli oil and ground pepper if you are using.
