Shoyu Ramen

A soy sauce-based clear broth noodle soup.

60 minutes
Serves 4
Lunch/Dinner

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare a clear, light broth by simmering chicken carcasses or vegetables, skimming the surface constantly to keep it transparent.

  2. 2

    Make the shoyu tare by gently heating high-quality soy sauce, mirin, sake, and a piece of kombu in a small saucepan.

  3. 3

    Warm your serving bowls with hot water, then discard the water and add 2-3 tablespoons of the shoyu tare to each bowl.

  4. 4

    Bring the clear broth to a near-boil and ladle it into the bowls, mixing it with the tare to create a fragrant, mahogany-colored soup.

  5. 5

    Cook the fresh ramen noodles in a separate pot of rapidly boiling water for about 90 seconds until they retain a firm chew.

  6. 6

    Drain the noodles well, slide them into the soup, fold them neatly with chopsticks, and garnish delicately with menma, sliced scallions, and nori.
