Authentic Hokkaido Miso Ramen
Experience the rich and comforting flavors of Hokkaido miso ramen, featuring savory garlic-scented stir-fried vegetables, thick bone broth, and rich miso paste.
Hokkaido miso ramen hails from northern Japan, where rich, warming broths are essential for cold winters. Built on a foundation of savory bone broth, aromatic garlic oil, and deeply flavorful miso paste, it is traditionally finished with sweet corn, a pat of butter, and tender chashu pork.
Ingredients
- 1 serving thick bone broth
- 300 cc boiling water
- 55 cc miso paste
- 1 portion medium-thick ramen noodles
- 1 portion cabbage
- 1 portion bean sprouts
- 1 portion garlic oil
- to taste salt and pepper
- 1-2 pieces wakame seaweed
- 1-2 slices chashu pork
- 1 soft-boiled egg
- 2 tbsp corn kernels
- 1 small piece butter
- to taste chopped green onions
Instructions
- 1Slice Chashu Pork

Place the cooked chashu pork belly on a wooden cutting board and slice it evenly into portions.
Tip: Ensure the knife is sharp to get clean, uniform slices. - 2Add Garlic Oil to Pan

Place a pot or pan on the stove over heat, and pour in a portion of garlic oil to start cooking.
Tip: Heat the oil gently to release the full aroma of the garlic. - 3Stir-Fry Vegetables with Aromatics

Add a small amount of cabbage and bean sprouts into the hot pan with garlic oil, season with a little salt and pepper, and stir-fry until fragrant.
Tip: Stir-fry quickly over medium-high heat so the vegetables stay crisp-tender. - 4Prepare Miso Soup Base

Bring a serving of thick bone broth to a boil, then add an equal amount of boiling water to dilute and adjust the soup base.
Tip: Mixing the rich bone broth with boiling water helps create the right consistency for ramen soup. - 5Dissolve Miso Paste

Add the measured miso paste into the boiling soup base and stir thoroughly until fully dissolved and smooth.
Tip: Use about 50-60cc of miso paste per 300cc serving of noodle soup for optimal flavor. - 6Simmer Wakame and Vegetables

Add some wakame seaweed and return the pre-cooked stir-fried vegetables back into the miso soup to simmer together.
Tip: Letting the vegetables simmer briefly in the miso broth allows them to absorb the savory flavors. - 7Add cooked noodles to the bowl

Take the cooked medium-thick noodles and transfer them from the strainer directly into the serving bowl containing the seasoning base.
Tip: Gently shake off excess water before placing the noodles into the bowl. - 8Pour miso soup over the noodles

Pour the hot, rich miso-flavored soup directly over the noodles in the bowl, ensuring the broth coats every strand.
Tip: Pour slowly to keep the noodles neatly arranged. - 9Assemble Ramen Toppings

Place the simmered vegetables, a slice of chashu, soft-boiled egg, corn, butter, green onions, and seaweed onto the noodles and broth, then torch the butter.
Tip: Arrange the ingredients neatly to create a traditional ramen presentation.
