Hi there
Want some great tasting Japanese Ramen in a jiffy and better still, just at $1?
I came across this Japanese Ramen, or rather Soba as stated on the packaging at Daiso and has been buying it ever since, as my family loves this very much. This great tasting ramen comes in 2 servings, and all comes with the soup base and takes less than 3 mins to make a slurperlious meal. 🙂
I like to add various toppings in this ramen too, and you might be very surprise to know that it taste just as good as those $20 a bowl ramen you eat at restaurants too. 🙂 (Okay, that’s what my husband said, and I agree with him too!)
Each pack comes with 2 bundles of noodles, and also 2 packet soup base, the soup base is soya sauce base, and is very fragrant, consist of just the right about of savoriness and great when you are busy and just wanted something hot and soupy and of course great tasting too. 🙂
Just like any other instant noodles, you just cook it the way you like it, but I have my own way to make it a little more bite. 🙂
Directions :
- Boil noodles in hot boiling water and stir it to avoid noodles clinging together as it has a rather high starch content
- Cook for 2 mins and sieve out the water
- Run the noodles in tap water or cold water to stop the cooking process and also rinse off any excess starch
- Boil another pot of water or just use hot boiling water from your flask, just add in the soup base and stir
- If you choose to cook in a pot of hot water, then place the noodles back into the soup and cook a further 15 secs
And Viola~! your noodles are done! 🙂
The noodles are not the thick kind you get in ramen shop but it is more like Kyushu ramen, the skinny ones, which taste oh so wonderful with the soup base given.
As I mention, the important part is really to run it under the tap to rinse off any excess starch, as this will give out a very pleasant overall chewiness to the noodles and of course not cloaking the whole bowl of soup with starchiness. 🙂
Add any toppings you like, here are just some ideas which I have used before :
- Cooked pork belly
- Shabu Shabu Beef slices
- Deep fried chicken cutlets
- Spring Onions
- Corn Kernels
- Japanese red ginger
- Seaweed
- Bean sprouts
- Kimchi
- Cabbage
- Leeks
- Half boil or hard boil eggs
- and many many many more
I wanted a little bit spiciness so I added some kimchi as well. So unleash your creative ideas and start to stock up some of these noodles and create your own brand of Japanese ramen. 🙂 At $1 a bundle, it is practically a steal.
You can also sprinkle some roasted sesame too. Love the nutty flavor it brings. 🙂 Enjoy!
