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:

1. 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.
2. Cook the Noodles:
   • Cook ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse briefly with cold water.
3. 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.
4. 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!
