I love a bowl of ramen and this 15 minute ramen recipe is a must-have if you feel the same. Packed with flavour and ready within 15 minutes (give or take a few) you will have a steaming bowl of goodness in your hands when you get home from work.
I saw the recipe in one of the recent issues of Delicious Australia and had to make it immediately. Some of the ingredients like the Korean chilli paste and white miso is perhaps not standard store cupboard ingredients here in South Africa but I urge you to get some. Those ingredients easily become standard ingredients if you want to expand your cooking repertoire and tastes.
I did not change the recipe much and kept close to the original. Sometimes ground pork mince is not available so feel free to adapt the recipe and use chicken mince if you have. Another idea would be to get the best quality pork sausages and removing them from their casings and use that as the protein. But use the best you can find and not sausages stuffed with cheese or something odd.
Super important for this recipe is the quality of the stock. The better the stock, the better the flavour of the ramen. Homemade wins the first prize of course, but you can find stock at many farmer’s markets too. If you do you use a concentrate or powder from a retailer, just be careful about the salt. Remember the miso is quite salty too.
If you can’t find white miso, used red miso but halve the quantity as it is much more intense than white. But I do feel that white miso is the best to use for this recipe so it is worth finding.
You can easily change the pork or chicken to tofu or even prawns, so feel free to adapt it as you please.
