Wok-Sizzled Miso Ramen - Dive into the rich and savory world of our Wok-Sizzled Miso Ramen, where traditional Japanese flavors meet the sizzle of the wok. This dish features chewy ramen noodles immersed in a flavorful miso broth, combined with succulent pork, earthy shiitake mushrooms, and a medley of other ingredients to create a symphony of umami taste.
Ingredients:
- 8 oz ramen noodles
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup miso paste
- 1 cup pork belly, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 2 bok choy heads, chopped
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Red pepper flakes (for garnish)
- 1 soft boiled egg, halved
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon mirin
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Nori sheets, cut into strips (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Start by preparing the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside. It's important to not overcook the noodles as they will continue to cook slightly in the hot broth.
- Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced pork belly and cook until it begins to turn golden brown, adding a rich flavor to the dish.
- To the pork, add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and chopped bok choy. Stir-fry until the mushrooms are tender and the bok choy is wilted, about 3-4 minutes. The bok choy adds a nice crunch and the mushrooms offer an earthy flavor.
- Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk together the miso paste, soy sauce, mirin, grated ginger, and minced garlic with a portion of the vegetable broth to create a smooth mixture. This step is crucial to prevent lumps of miso in your broth.
- Gradually pour this miso mixture into the wok, followed by the remaining vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, letting the flavors meld together.
- Add the cooked ramen noodles to the wok and gently toss them in the broth, ensuring they are fully coated and heated through.
- Drizzle the dish with sesame oil and garnish with sliced green onions, red pepper flakes, sesame seeds, and nori strips. The sesame oil adds a nutty aroma, while the garnishes provide additional layers of flavor and texture.
- Lastly, place a halved soft-boiled egg on top of each serving. The creamy yolk adds richness and complements the savory broth.
- Serve the Wok-Sizzled Miso Ramen hot. Each bowl is a comforting, hearty serving of noodles and broth, balanced with the textures and flavors of the pork, vegetables, and seasonings.
- This dish is versatile and can be adapted to include other favorite ingredients like corn, bamboo shoots, or spinach. Feel free to experiment and make it your own.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator, but it's best to store the noodles and broth separately to prevent the noodles from becoming too soft.
- Wok-Sizzled Miso Ramen is not just a meal; it's an experience. Enjoy the process of cooking, the aroma that fills your kitchen, and the first spoonful of rich, umami-packed broth.
- This recipe serves as a great introduction to Japanese cuisine for those unfamiliar, and a comforting reminder of traditional flavors for those who are.
- Pair this dish with a side of pickled vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.
