Instant Ramen

Creating Culinary Delight from Instant Ramen

Have you ever thought about turning a basic instant ramen container into a meal that compares with restaurant standards? The recipe today does exactly that. Simple instant ramen transformed into a dish that's hard to imagine started with just a packet of noodles by including elements like corn, chashu, and a freshly cooked ramen egg.

Level up your Ramen game

Globally, ramen has become extremely popular. Ramen restaurants are opening up in big cities, drawing lines of eager consumers. Given this increased interest, there is no better time to become a master of ramen right at home. Not only is it simple, but improving instant ramen lets you savor a great, sophisticated meal that saves time without compromising flavor.

Essential Ingredients to Improve Your Ramen

Think about these two basic additions that really improve your ramen. We have separate recipes for both linked to below.

Chashu: Although Japanese markets have pre-made chashu, from scratch gives your ramen a rich, customized taste. Not only is homemade chashu delicious, but it also gives your meal a depth of taste not possible with pre-packaged chashu.

Ramen Eggs: Add some fun and taste, especially if you marinade with the savory chashu sauce. These eggs' velvety texture and sophisticated taste profile improve any bowl of ramen and are easy to prepare.
