Chicken Ramen Recipe

Who doesn’t love a steaming bowl of tasty ramen loaded with all the best toppings? This recipe, shared with us by @mumslockdownmeals on Instagram, offers some classic flavours and makes for a super easy meal idea.

Making Ramen Broth

Making your own stock and homemade dashi yields some delicious results, but it can sometimes be a bit of a lengthy process, which isn’t ideal when you need a quick, comforting meal to get you through the week.

Ready-made shiro-dashi soup concentrate can be a great alternative to making your own broth completely from scratch. It will give your ramen a rich, umami flavour and elevate the noodle broth to a new level.

Chicken Ramen Ingredients

• 1 tbsp neutral oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• A few small slices of ginger
• 1 litre chicken stock
• 50 ml shiro-dashi soup concentrate
• 2 spring onions, chopped
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tbsp miso paste
• 2 packs of ramen noodles
• Toppings of your choice (shredded chicken, egg, beansprouts, crispy chilli oil)

How to Make Chicken Ramen

1. Heat the oil on a medium-low heat, and gently fry the garlic and ginger for a minute until it releases its fragrance. Add the stock, shiro-dashi concentrate, spring onions and soy sauce and bring to a simmer for about 10 mins.
2. Strain the broth, and stir through a tbsp of miso paste over a really low heat until it dissolves.
3. Soak the ramen in boiling water for about 10 mins while the broth is cooking.
4. Add the noodles to bowls, fill with the delicious soup broth and top with toppings of your choice – i.e. egg, shredded chicken, red chilli, beansprouts, coriander and crispy chilli oil.
