Quick Miso Ramen (Walmart-friendly ingredients)

This recipe uses a shortcut with pre-made chicken broth and miso paste, making it achievable with a Walmart haul.

Ingredients:

  • 2 packets instant ramen noodles (or ramen bricks)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2-3 tablespoons miso paste (white or yellow)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • Soft-boiled egg (optional)
  • Other toppings (optional): sliced nori seaweed, bamboo shoots, sliced cooked chicken/pork, kimchi

Instructions:

  1. Cook the noodles: Follow the package instructions for cooking the ramen noodles.
  2. Make the broth: While the noodles cook, in a large pot, heat the chicken broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil over medium heat.
  3. Add miso paste: Once the broth simmers, reduce heat to low and whisk in the miso paste a tablespoon at a time until dissolved. Don’t boil after adding miso, as it can lose flavor.
  4. Assemble: Drain the cooked noodles and divide them into bowls. Ladle the hot broth over the noodles.
  5. Garnish: Top with sliced green onion, and your choice of additional toppings (cooked meat, soft-boiled egg, seaweed, etc.).

Tips:

  • You can find miso paste in the refrigerated section near tofu or kimchi at Walmart.
  • If you can’t find white or yellow miso, red miso will also work, but it has a stronger flavor. Start with a tablespoon and adjust to taste.
  • For a richer broth, you can brown some sliced garlic or ginger in a pan before adding the broth.
  • Want to make it spicier? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dollop of sriracha to your bowl.

Shortcut Option:

Walmart sells pre-made miso ramen bowls that you can simply microwave for a quick and easy option. While not quite the same as homemade, they can still satisfy your miso ramen craving.

This recipe is a good starting point, feel free to adjust the ingredients and toppings to your preference! For a more in-depth ramen experience, you can find recipes online for making a richer broth from scratch using ingredients like chicken bones, vegetables, and kombu (kelp).
