Quick Notes: This Restaurant Style Ramen is like…the Miss Congeniality of soups. We start with cheap shitty ramen and give it a makeover so it’s the prettiest soup at the pageant. It’s also surprisingly affordable and versatile. You can basically put whatever the fuck you want in it. This recipe doesn’t include a meat, but you could easily add chicken or pork to it. Or, you could make it fully vegetarian using the soy ramen, and vegetable broth.
Ingredients
- 4 packages chicken flavored ramen noodles (or soy, for vegetarian)
- 5 cups chicken stock (or vegetable, for vegetarian)
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts
- 1.5 cups sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 can bean sprouts
- 1 can bamboo shoots
- 4 eggs
- 2 table spoons olive oil
- sea salt
- chopped green onions for serving
- lite soy and Sriracha for serving
Instructions
Brussels Sprouts
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Cut off the bottom of the sprouts, and quarter them.
- Toss Brussels sprouts in two tablespoons of olive oil and sea salt until they're fully covered.
- Lay Brussels sprouts out on a cookie sheet in a single layer.
- Bake in preheated oven for 15 - 20 minutes, or until the sprouts are soft enough that you can pierce them with a fork. Set aside.
Eggs
- In Instant Pot, add one cup of water, the rack, and the four eggs.
- Close pot, set to sealing and manual cook for 3 minutes.
- Once the timer on the instant pot is done instant release.
- Immediately add eggs to an ice water bath, and let them soak for at least five minutes. They should be soft-medium boil and peel like a fuckin dream.
- Peel and cut in half, set aside.
Broth
- To a large pot, add the chicken broth and the seasoning packets from two of the packages of Ramen.
- Heat until boiling. Stir frequently.
- Turn heat down slightly (avoid a rolling boil, but more than a simmer) and add mushrooms. Boil for five minutes.
- Open, drain and rinse the bamboo shoots and bean sprouts.
- Add bean sprouts and bamboo shoots to the broth. Boil one minute before setting the temperature to low. Leave until ready to use.
Assembly
- Prepare noodles per package instructions and add to the bowl. (we actually prefer to boil each serving separately to keep track of serving size, but you could totally boil them all together if you're not worried about that, or even boil them in the broth.)
- Add noodles to the bowl.
- Pour broth over noodles, making sure to get the veggies from the broth as well.
- Add 3-4 Brussels sprouts to the top of the bowl.
- Add sliced egg.
- Sprinkle chopped chives over the top.
