Absolutely, here’s a recipe for Soy-Sauce Ramen using ingredients you can find at Walmart:
Ingredients:
- Broth:
- 4 cups Chicken broth (available in the canned soup section)
- 1 cup Water
- 1/2 cup Kikkoman Soy Sauce (usually in the international aisle)
- 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar (usually in the vinegar section)
- 1 tsp Sesame oil (usually in the oil aisle)
- 1 inch Kombu (dried kelp – optional, usually in the international aisle)
- 1 clove Garlic, smashed
- 1 scallion, white part only
- Noodles:
- 2 packages Ramen noodles (any flavor) – discard the flavor packets
- Toppings (pick and choose your favorites):
- Sliced green onions
- Shiitake mushrooms, sliced (usually in the produce section)
- Baby spinach
- Soft-boiled egg (recipe below)
- Shredded cooked chicken (optional)
- Nori (dried seaweed) – (optional, usually in the international aisle)
- Soft-boiled Egg (Optional):
- 1 Egg
- Boiling water
Instructions:
- Make the Broth:
- In a large pot, combine chicken broth, water, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, kombu (if using), garlic, and scallion. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove kombu, garlic, and scallion.
- Cook the Noodles:
- Cook ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse briefly with cold water.
- Soft-boiled Egg (Optional):
- Carefully place egg in a pot of boiling water. Cook for 6-7 minutes for a soft yolk. Remove from pot and immediately place in an ice bath to stop cooking. Peel and slice the egg in half.
- Assemble the Ramen:
- Divide broth between two bowls. Add noodles, your choice of toppings, and a soft-boiled egg (if using).
Tips:
- For a richer broth, you can brown some ground pork or chicken in a pan before adding it to the broth.
- You can adjust the amount of soy sauce to your taste preference.
- If you can’t find kombu, you can substitute with a small piece of dried wakame seaweed (also in the international aisle).
- Get creative with the toppings! You can also use thinly sliced carrots, bean sprouts, or crumbled seaweed.
Enjoy your delicious and budget-friendly Soy Sauce Ramen!
