Cooking Ramen Noodles

Here's instructions to best prepare your noodles. Need some soup and topping inspirations? Check out the links and ideas at the end.

  • Directions:

    1. Ramen noodles should be kept frozen until ready to serve. Make sure to have your soup base and garnishes ready to go before you cook the noodles! They are best served immediately after cooking to maximize chewy slurpy goodness.

    2. Boil 7 cups of water and add frozen noodles. Cook for 3 min & 30 seconds and stir noodles thoroughly as you do so to make sure they separate completely. If noodles are not floating cook 1 minute longer.

    3. Strain noodles and immediately place into large bowl.

    4. Add your toppings and carefully pour broth into the bowl. Slurp and enjoy!

    Need some broth and topping inspiration? Remember you do not have to follow traditional ramen recipes that require days of cooking and multiple ingredients. Ramen is amazing with any broth seasoned with miso and soy. Making soy ramen eggs or topping with your favorite proteins in the way to go. Garnish with fresh scallions and you are in a happy place!

  • Ramen ideas for those seeking inspiration:

    • Miso ramen would be the easiest. Just add a miso paste to any broth or stock. Season with soy and white pepper to taste. Throw in some wakame or nori and scallions and mushrooms. Done.

    • Shoyu ramen with shrimp. Seafood broth, dashi granules, soy sauce, shrimp, nori, scallions and sprouts.

    • Garlic beef ramen. Beef broth, soy sauce, thinly sliced beef, sliced garlic, scallions, sesame oil, and mushrooms.
