JAPANESE NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• In a large pot mix all the ingredients except the wakame and noodle.
• Cook for approximately 30 minute.
• Add noodles and wakame and cook for an additional 10 minute.

ASIAN CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Mix soy sauce, mirin, 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil, garlic, ginger, sugar, vinegar, and chile paste in a small bowl.
• Heat the broth in a medium saucepan. Add the soy sauce mixture, the chicken, and the vegetables and bring to a boil. Simmer for two minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Taste and adjust seasonings.
• Pour over prepared Chinese noodles. Garnish with cilantro and scallions.

JAPANESE RAMEN NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Mix 700ml chicken stock, 3 halved garlic cloves, 4 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, a sliced thumb-sized piece of ginger, ½ tsp Chinese five spice, pinch of chilli powder and 300ml water in a stockpot or large saucepan, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 mins.
• Taste the stock - add 1 tsp white sugar or a little more soy sauce to make it sweeter or saltier to your liking.
• Cook 375g ramen noodles following the pack instructions, then drain and set aside.
• Slice 400g cooked pork or chicken, fry in 2 tsp sesame oil until just starting to brown, then set aside.
• Divide the noodles between four bowls. Top each with a quarter of the meat, 25g spinach, 1 tbsp sweetcorn and two boiled egg halves each.
• Strain the stock into a clean pan, then bring to the boil once again.
• Divide the stock between the bowls, then sprinkle over 1 shredded nori sheet, sliced spring onions or shallots and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Allow the spinach to wilt slightly before serving.

JAPANESE NABEYAKI UDON SOUP

Steps:

• Heat dashi stock, chicken, carrots, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and salt in a pot over medium heat. Simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 5 to 7 minutes. Add tofu, mushrooms, and bok choy, stirring until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes more.
• Stir udon noodles into broth and simmer until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add leeks and crack eggs into soup; simmer until eggs are slightly firm, about 5 minutes more.

CHICKEN RAMEN BOWL

Steps:

• Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and ginger; cook about 30 seconds more. Add rice vinegar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, mirin, fish sauce, and sriracha sauce; stir to combine. Add chicken broth and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 5 minutes. Add chicken and bok choy; simmer gently until bok choy is just tender, about 2 minutes.
• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Add ramen noodles and return to a boil. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and drizzle with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
• While ramen is cooking, fill a pot with enough water to cover the eggs and bring to a boil. Gently lower eggs into the boiling water and cook until yolks are barely set, about 7 minutes.
• Fill a large bowl with ice water. Transfer soft boiled eggs to the ice bath to stop the cooking process; let sit about 3 minutes. Drain eggs, carefully peel away shells, and slice in half.
• Divide ramen between 4 bowls. Add broth. Top each with jalapeno, green onions, cilantro, and soft boiled egg. Serve immediately.

JAPANESE NOODLES IN MISO SOUP MISO NIKOMI UDON

Steps:

• Cut the chicken into small pieces and salt lightly.
• Soak the shiitake in water until the tops (but not the stems) are soft.
• Remove the stems and cook briefly in a small amount of water flavored with soy sauce and sugar, to flavor mildly; I would use about 1/4 cup water with 2 to 3 teaspoons each soy sauce and sugar.
• Prepare the aburage by placing it in a metal sieve in the sink and pouring 1 to 2 cups boiling water over each side, being careful not to burn yourself.
• This is to remove some of the oil.
• Rinse in warm water, squeeze dry and cut into 3 by 1/2 cm rectangles.
• Wash and scrape the gobo with the edge of a knife (the most flavor is just below the surface of the skin, so don't scrape too deeply; the scraped areas will darken almost immediately, this can't completely be helped), and cut into slivers, as if you are sharpening a pencil, into a bowl of water.
• Cut the green onion into thin slices.
• Peel the hard boiled eggs and slice horizontally.
• Stir the miso and dashi together and strain.
• Place miso mixture into a large pan; add the milk and just bring to a boil.
• Immediately lower the heat to simmer.
• Boil the udon in a lot of boiling water in a separate pan.
• Stop cooking when the udon is still a little firm; drain and rinse under cold running water to remove starch.
• Add the drained udon, chicken, drained shiitake, aburage, and gobo to the pan containing the simmering miso mixture, in this order.
• When the udon and chicken are cooked through add the kamaboko and green onion and increase heat so that the soup will just boil up once more.
• Remove from heat, divide into individual bowls, garnish with hard boiled egg slices and sprinkle on sansho.
