Ramen recipe

[Major Nikon]

This is my recipe. It's pretty basic and easy. It makes one serving.

The day before make marinated eggs:

Start with a refrigerated egg, boil for 7 minutes exactly, and immediately immerse in an ice bath for 10 minutes. This will produce an egg with firm whites and a yolk which has started to thicken, but hasn't taken shape yet. Peel the egg and place in a ziplock bag with 2 Tbs soy sauce, 2 Tbs miren (or whatever vinegar you have), and 1/3 cup water. Refrigerate overnight. I usually double or triple the recipe and make several eggs at a time for multiple servings as they will keep in the fridge for a few days.

1-2 hours before make chashu

Ramen soup:
30g (about 2 Tbs) of miso paste
1/2 tsp MSG (optional)
1/2 tsp coconut oil (or crisco or lard)
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
450ml boiling water

Add all ingredients to sauce pan and bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Add one individually wrapped serving of ramen noodles and cook for 2.5 minutes.

Serve immediately in a ramen bowl with sliced marinated eggs and sliced chashu. Optionally you can add hot Asian ground pepper or hot chili sauce to taste. Garnish with chopped scallions, shredded carrots, etc.
