Why This Recipe Works

Tired of the same bowl of instant ramen noodles? In this recipe, we ditch the dried seasoning packet and transform ramen from plain to packed with flavor. We infuse our broth with miso, ginger, and kimchi before adding a splash of soy sauce to perk up the flavors even more. Our ramen includes two ingredients that are packed with umami: miso and soy sauce.

Before You Begin

Get creative with ramen toppings and take your soup to the next level. Some of our favorite additions are cooked corn kernels, thinly sliced scallions, bean sprouts, shredded nori, hard-cooked eggs, sriracha, chili crisp, and chili-garlic sauce.

Instructions

  1. In large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes (oil should be hot but not smoking).
  2. Add scallions and cook, stirring occasionally with wooden spoon, until scallions are browned and tender, about 2 minutes.
  3. Stir in miso and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds.
  4. Add broth, water, and kimchi. Use wooden spoon to scrape up browned bits on bottom of saucepan. Bring mixture to boil.
  5. Add noodles and cook, stirring occasionally to break up noodles, until tender, about 3 minutes. Turn off heat.
  6. Stir in soy sauce. Ladle soup into serving bowls and add your favorite toppings. Serve.
