Miso Ramen Soup

"This is from About.com, their Japanese food section. It says, "Ramen noodle in miso based soup is called miso ramen. It's one of the popular flavors of ramen noodles in Japan. Lots of vegetables can be added in this miso ramen recipe." I used homemade chicken stock instead of the water and bouillon originally called for to lower sodium. I adjusted the recipe a bit. I also used an Italian sausage that I took out of the casing, which was about 4 oz. Interestingly, my Japanese loving teenager didn't like this, but my other two younger children loved it!"

  1. I grew up eating ramen and make my own from scratch often. I usually keep frozen charshiu pork handy for using it in ramen, yakisoba, and yakimeshi (Japanese style fried rice). What I did was use my own chicken stock from the freezer and instead of ground pork, I used charshiu pork, soft boiled egg, negi (Japanese long onion) and nori for the topping. Besides the topping, I used what the recipe called for ie cabbage, bean sprouts, and all other seasonings. The result was very good. Normally, ramen stock is made with many ingredients, but this simplified ramen using only chicken stock was very satisfying and very simple to make.
     
  2. This was very very good. I used low sodium soy sauce, my own low sodium chicken stock, and the lowest sodium Miso paste I could find. I did use ground pork, but I had already prepared some Vietnamese Pork meat (1 1/4lb. pork, stalk lemon grass, fresh grated ginger, garlic, lime zest, and fish sauce) sitting in the fridge. Just made meat balls out of that, and then the soup as normal (just added one more garlic clove to the cooking meat balls, never enough garlic! :)). This turned out very well with the spiced meat balls. Added a bit of fresh chopped cilantro on top.
     
  3. This tastes great! Though I didn't have bean sprouts and sesame oil. I did add shiitake mushrooms along with carrots. This dish is definitely something to try and eat over and over again.
     
  4. This is really good and easy! It is definitely comfort food! I have used chicken as well as pork. Thank you for this recipe.
     
  5. Excellent recipe. I soaked a couple of dried shitakes and used the mushroom water for more umami flavor, 1 can of Swanson's low sodium chicken broth and 1 pkg of Trader Joe's instant miso and it was delicious!. Also used thinly sliced nappa instead of regular cabbage and put in an egg to poach for 3 minutes.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a Christian wife and mother of 3 kids. Since my DH's high cholesterol, we've been eating better. I never used to like cooking. Since eating better, I've liked learning and preparing new recipes. My kids haven't reconciled themselves to the new eating yet. I grind my own grain and make all my own breads.?Working 2 hours a day in the local high school lunch room.??I am homeschooling my high schooler.? ?Also found out 1 child has multiple food allergies (wheat, dairy, tomato, chocolate, etc) and another is gluten sensitive. So, we just started (July 09) eating gluten and dairy free. I've been busy with getting our house market ready, even though it's not the best time for that.?
