Instant ramen recipe

Invented in Japan after the Second World War, these instant noodles (or ramen), ready in just three minutes, are not homemade, but have the advantage of being practical and quick to prepare. In Asia today, there are thousands of different versions, tastes and types. The recipes are very varied, as everyone prepares and seasons them to their own taste.

Ingredients

  • 4 packets instant noodles
  • Choice of trim

Directions

  1. Bring about 1 L of water to the boil in a large saucepan or kettle. Plunge the ramen into the boiling water and cook for the time indicated on the packet, generally between 3 and 5 minutes. Stir gently to prevent sticking.
  2. Once the noodles have softened, add the sachet of bouillon powder and stir. If your ramen contains a sachet of sauce, pour it in as well for extra flavor.
  3. Pour the noodles and broth into a large bowl. Add your favourite toppings: a soft-boiled egg cut in half, sliced meat, crunchy vegetables, fresh herbs... Let your creativity run wild!
  4. For an even more authentic experience, use chopsticks and a Japanese soup spoon. Enjoy your meal!
