Creamy and savory miso ramen with Japanese gyoza are so delicious, they’ll leave you full and satisfied. They’re also one of my favorite dishes. My homemade miso ramen is full of caramelized ground pork, miso, and a light garlic flavor. It only takes 20 minutes to make ramen as delicious as you’d find in a ramen store. It’s quick, delicious, and inexpensive, you just have to try it.

Miso ramen recipe:

The key to this delicious miso ramen is the ramen broth. I use roasted chicken bone broth, which can make the miso ramen broth even more flavorful and umami. Also, the ground pork is fried with miso, soy sauce, and garlic, which makes the ramen broth richer, creamier, and more flavorful.

What you need:

RAMEN BROTH:

• Japanese ramen – These are yellow noodles. Japanese ramen or ramen is written on the outside of the noodle package. You can use fresh yellow noodles from the Asian market or packaged noodles.
• Miso – All miso brands, but you should use Japanese miso and not one from other countries. This way its flavor will be more authentic. It’s best to choose miso with a strong flavor. This will make it richer in the soup.
• Chicken (bone) broth – I recommend using roasted chicken bone broth. It adds flavor to the ramen soup compared to chicken broth or chicken stock. You can use chicken broth or stock too.

TOPPING:

• Minced pork – I fried minced pork with miso to make this ramen in a short time. You can also use ramen chashu or, for vegetarians, fried tofu. You can refer to my early post for How To Brown Ground Pork.
• Ramen egg – Authentic ramen must be prepared with a soy sauce egg (ramen egg).
• Bean sprouts – or cabbage are suitable to add to the ramen
• Canned sweet corn – This is a must to add more flavor.
• Scallions – sliced as thinly as possible. This is how ramen stores do it.
• Seaweed – if you don’t have it, you can leave it out.

SEASONING:

• Sesame oil – Add it before serving to enhance the flavor.
• Chili oil (La Yu)- If you like it spicy, add some Japanese chili oil. It’s spicy and has a good chili flavor. I recommend the Japanese brand S & B or House. They’ll be more authentic than other brands from other countries.
• White pepper: This is a must for Japanese ramen. If you don’t have any, you can leave it out. But I recommend using it to get an authentic Japanese ramen flavor. It’s often used in Chinese and Japanese cuisine.
• Shichimi – This is optional, but it gives the ramen a spicy and earthy flavor. Ramen stores offer it to their customers to add. Again, I recommend the Japanese brand S & B or House. They’ll be more authentic than other brands from other countries.
• Minced garlic – It’s optional, some ramen stores offer it. If you like the garlic flavor, you can add it.

How to make:

Vegetarian miso ramen:

For vegetarian miso ramen, you can use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth—fried tofu, fried or roast cauliflower or fried green beans instead of ground pork.

Spicy miso ramen:

For spicy miso ramen, there are several ways to make it spicy.
During cooking – add 1 tablespoon of chili bean paste, when you add miso to the chicken broth.
Before serving – add a few drops of chili oil (La Yu) before eating. This way you can adjust the spiciness. You should buy Japanese chili oil, it tastes better and is more authentic.

What do you eat with miso ramen:

In Japan, ramen is usually eaten with fried rice or gyoza. Side dishes include mixed vegetable pickles, marinated spicy cucumber, or Japanese potato salad. I’d like bubble tea for my drink. Apple tartlet for dessert.
