Equipment

  • Large pot for broth
  • Medium pot for boiling ramen
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Ladle for serving

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 packs ramen noodles instant or fresh
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp miso paste optional, for extra flavor
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1- inch piece of ginger minced
  • 1 cup fish cakes Narutomaki, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup green onions chopped
  • 1 soft-boiled egg per bowl, optional
  • 1/2 cup spinach or bok choy optional
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds for garnish
  • 1 sheet nori seaweed, cut into strips (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Broth:

  • In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add the chicken or vegetable broth, soy sauce, and miso paste (if using). Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 5-7 minutes to develop the flavors.

Cook the Ramen Noodles:

  • In a separate pot, cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Add the Fish Cakes:

  • While the broth is simmering, add the sliced fish cakes (Narutomaki) to the broth and allow them to heat through for about 2 minutes.

Assemble the Ramen Bowls:

  • Divide the cooked ramen noodles into serving bowls. Ladle the hot broth over the noodles, making sure to add the fish cakes.

Top the Ramen:

  • Top each bowl with green onions, soft-boiled egg, spinach or bok choy (if using), sesame seeds, and strips of nori.

Serve:

  • Serve the ramen hot and enjoy immediately.

Notes

You can add other toppings like mushrooms, corn, or sliced bamboo shoots for extra flavor and texture.
If you can't find Narutomaki, you can use other types of fish cakes or substitute with tofu for a vegetarian option.
Adjust the soy sauce and miso paste according to your taste preference.
