Ingredients

  • For the Soup Broth:
  • 1 tsp ginger (grated, with juice; from a 1-inch, 2.5-cm knob)
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tsp doubanjiang (spicy chili bean paste) (use either the spicy or non-spicy type, or use gluten-free doubanjiang; read the blog post for substitution info)
  • 1½ cups chicken stock/broth (use vegetable stock for vegan/vegetarian)
  • 1½ cups dashi (Japanese soup stock) (I use 2 dashi packets to make a strong dashi; or use standard Awase Dashi, dashi powder, or Vegan Dashi)
  • 2½ Tbsp soy sauce (use gluten-free soy sauce for GF)
  • 1 tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt
  • ⅛ tsp white pepper powder (plus more at the table)
  • For the Noodles:
  • 2 servings fresh ramen noodles (10–12 oz, 283–340 g fresh noodles; 6.3 oz, 180 g dry ramen noodles; for gluten-free, useGF ramen noodles)
  • For the Toppings (prepare in advance):
  • 4 slices Homemade Chashu (Japanese Braised Pork Belly) (buy it premade at a Japanese grocery store or make my Chashu at least a day in advance; skip for vegan/vegetarian)
  • 1 Ramen Egg (Ajitsuke Tamago) (sliced in half lengthwise; make my Ramen Eggs at least a day in advance; skip for vegan)
  • 4 slices narutomaki (fish cakes) (skip for vegan/vegetarian)
  • ¼ cup menma (seasoned bamboo shoots) (you can buy it at a Japanese grocery store or on Amazon; you can make my Quick Menma Recipe)
  • 1 green onion/scallion (chopped)
  • Shiraga Negi (julienned long green onions) (follow my tutorial on how to prepare Shiraga Negi)
