Ramen Noodle Bratwurst Soup Food

EASY JAPANESE RAMEN NOODLES

Steps:

• Open the ramen soup sachet (note 7) and squeeze the contents out into a serving bowl.
• Boil about 600ml (20oz) water in a kettle.
• Boil water in a small to medium pot to cook noodles. If noodles are stack together, untangle as much as possible then add to the boiling water.
• Using chopsticks or a fork, untangle the noodles to separate individual strands. If water starts bubbling and reaching to the rim of the pot, reduce the heat to medium high to medium so that the water is still boiling rapidly but does not overflow.
• Cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute and drain (note 8).
• Add 400-500ml (13.5 - 16.9oz) of boiling water (note 9) from the kettle to the serving bowl with the condensed soup, then transfer the noodles into the bowl. Tidy up the noodles to submerge in the soup.
• Place topping of your choice and serve immediately with chilli oil and ground pepper if you are using.

RAMEN NOODLE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook until al dente, about 2 minutes. Drain and toss with 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil; set aside.
• Heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a 10-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and 2 teaspoons oyster sauce; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the chicken is no longer pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the coleslaw mix, scallions, remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil and a big pinch of salt. Cook until the coleslaw wilts, about 2 minutes. Remove the mixture to a bowl and wipe out the skillet.
• Whisk the eggs, pickled ginger, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the ramen and the chicken mixture. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the egg mixture and reduce the heat to medium low. Stir gently with a rubber spatula until the eggs start setting, about 1 minute. Cook, undisturbed, until golden brown on the bottom and almost set on top, 7 to 8 minutes. Invert the frittata onto a plate, then slide back into the skillet and continue to cook until the egg is set, 3 to 6 minutes longer. Transfer to a platter.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bok choy, remaining 1 teaspoon oyster sauce and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook until crisp-tender, 4 minutes. Serve with the frittata.

RAMEN NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Heat 3 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is dark brown, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the broth: Put the bacon and chicken wings in a Dutch oven and add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer 10 minutes. Drain and wipe the pot clean. Rinse the bacon and wings under cold water, then return to the pot; add 4 quarts water and the dried mushrooms. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium; add the garlic mixture and gently simmer 1 hour, 15 minutes.
• Strain the broth through a colander into a large bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much of the liquid as possible. Skim any excess fat from the surface. Measure the broth, adding water if necessary to yield 2 quarts. (The broth can be made up to 4 days ahead; cover and refrigerate.)
• Just before serving, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and the scallions in a medium skillet over medium heat until the mixture starts sizzling. Add the sake, soy sauce, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, the sugar, peppercorns and 1/2 cup water. Simmer, reducing to 1/2 cup, about 5 minutes.
• Bring the broth and the scallion mixture to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the noodles and cook until softened, 1 to 3 minutes. Gently pull the noodles apart with tongs. Transfer the soup to bowls and top as desired.
