Just like a warm hug on a chilly day, Shoyu Ramen with Soy Sauce Based Broth is the perfect comfort food to soothe our souls. This Japanese classic has been gaining popularity worldwide for its rich flavors and versatility.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless pork shoulder
• 4 cups chicken broth, warmed (190F)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sake or dry white wine
• 1 tablespoon mirin
• 1 teaspoon ground white pepper
• 6 ounces ramen noodles
• Sliced green onions and pickled ginger for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Rinse the pork shoulder under cold water, then pat it dry with paper towels. Cut into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and white pepper.

Cooking tip: Pat drying the meat ensures even browning.

2. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat (375F). Sear the pork until browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove from pot and set aside.
3. In the same pot, add another tablespoon of oil if necessary, then saut 1 small onion (diced) until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Tips: Use a medium-high heat to achieve a nice sear on the pork. Sauting the onion separately prevents it from burning during the browning process.

Instructions

1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until it reaches a golden brown color, stirring occasionally (approx. 8-10 minutes).
2. Add the minced garlic to the saucepan and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
3. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the cooked onion mixture and whisk to combine. Cook for 1 minute, allowing the flour to absorb any excess moisture.
4. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer (190F) for 10-12 minutes or until it thickens slightly.
5. Stir in the heavy cream, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Continue to simmer over low heat for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the broth has reached your desired consistency.
6. Cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions (usually boiling for 3-5 minutes). Drain and set aside.
7. Add the diced lobster meat to the creamy broth and stir gently to combine. Be careful not to break up the delicate lobster pieces.
8. To assemble, place cooked ramen noodles into bowls, then ladle the Lobster Ramen with Creamy Broth over the top. Garnish with cilantro or scallions if desired.

This indulgent dish boasts a rich and velvety broth that coats the springy ramen noodles, while chunks of succulent lobster meat add a luxurious touch. For an added layer of flavor, try adding some diced carrots or sliced green onions to the broth during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.

Cold Ramen with Refreshing Broth for Summer

Knowing the sweltering heat of summer in the US can make even the most comforting dishes feel like a heavy burden. Understandably so, we crave light, refreshing meals that won’t weigh us down or leave us feeling lethargic. Today, I’m excited to share with you a recipe for a rejuvenating twist on a classic Japanese staple – Cold Ramen with Refreshing Broth.

Ingredients

• 1 package of ramen noodles (about 12 oz)
• 2 cups of cold water
• 1 cup of chicken or vegetable broth, chilled in the refrigerator overnight
• 1 tsp of sesame oil
• 1 tsp of grated ginger
• Sliced green onions and pickled ginger for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Begins by preparing the refreshing broth. In a small saucepan, combine the chilled chicken or vegetable broth and 2 tbsp of grated ginger. Heat over low heat (around 150F) for about 5-7 minutes, or until the flavors have melded together and the mixture is warmed through.
2. Meanwhile, prepare your noodles according to package instructions. Typically, this involves soaking them in cold water for about 10-15 minutes or cooking them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sesame oil and a pinch of salt. Add this mixture to the chilled broth and stir gently to combine.
4. Assemble your cold ramen by placing the cooked noodles in a bowl, then topping with the refreshing broth and garnishing with sliced green onions and pickled ginger if desired.

When serving, keep in mind that it’s essential to not over-dress the dish. A light hand when adding toppings will allow each component to shine on its own. Additionally, for an added textural element, consider adding some crunchy vegetables like bean sprouts or shredded carrots to your cold ramen.
