- 4 cups water
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
Noodles and Toppings
- 200 g ramen noodles
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 2 slices nori (dried seaweed)
Instructions
- Prepare the broth: In a medium pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Stir in 2 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, allowing the flavors to meld into a light, savory broth.
- Cook the noodles: Add 200 grams of ramen noodles to the boiling broth or separately boil as per the package instructions. Once cooked, strain the noodles to remove excess water and divide them evenly into two serving bowls.
- Assemble the ramen: Pour the hot seasoned broth over the noodles in each bowl. Garnish with freshly chopped green onions and place slices of nori on top to add a subtle sea flavor and texture contrast.
Notes
- Adjust salt and soy sauce quantities to your taste preference for a more or less salty broth.
- For extra richness, consider adding a soft-boiled egg or cooked proteins like chicken or tofu.
- Use fresh ramen noodles if possible for better texture, or substitute with dried instant noodles if preferred.
- Feel free to add vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or corn for extra nutrition.
