Gome Ramen
This is how I like to make ramen. I used to use the flavor packets that come with Maruchan ramen until I found out how much sodium was in them. After a few months of experimenting with it, I settled on a recipe that I think is even tastier than the packets.
This isn’t a low-sodium recipe by any means, but it’s at least a reasonable amount, in my opinion. You can reduce it further by using less soy sauce or by using low-sodium soy sauce and chicken broth.
All the measurements are approximate; feel free to experiment with them as you like.
Credit to my brother for teaching me the method for poaching the eggs.
Ingredients
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 in.³ ginger, minced
- 1 tsp. Thai red curry paste
- 1 tbsp. seasoned rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp. soy sauce
- 1 3-oz. ramen cake (discard seasoning packet)
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- In a small or medium saucepan, heat chicken broth to a boil.
- While heating, add garlic, ginger, curry paste, vinegar, & soy sauce.
- Once boiling, add ramen cake. Lower heat slightly, but keep close to boiling.
- After 1 minute 30 seconds, add eggs. Cook for another 1 minute 30 seconds, or slightly longer for less runny yolks. Make sure to stir the eggs a bit to keep them from sticking, but gently to not break the yolks.
