Become A Ramen Master At Home: Authentic Shoyu Ramen From Scratch

Easy Authentic Shoyu Ramen Made Of Homemade Chicken Broth Food & Recipes

Making ramen from scratch is not so hassle in home cooking. I mean, just picking up simple steps despite we can go for the professional ramen-shop grade processes.

Yet, this easy homemade shoyu ramen recipe is pretty tasty made of homemade chicken broth.

Although I mention it is an easy ramen recipe, it still needs a little more effort than making instant noodles; you’ll need a minimum of a day to make Chasyu pork and ramen eggs. (Basically, it’s the marinating time. )

Shoyu Ramen Soup

Shoyu ramen in Japan refers to the ramen noodle soup made of dashi broth mixed with a dark soy sauce base, and often called “Chuka Soba” translated to “Chinese noodles”.

Shoyu ramen has been the staple flavor of ramen noodle soup as well as Shio ramen (simple chicken soup flavor) throughout the country.

Tonkotsu ramen or miso ramen is getting attention around you, however, in Japan, many local signature ramen noodle soups are often based on Shoyu ramen.

Generally, the soup in Shoyu ramen is preferably made of Japanese dashi broth from dried fish, Dashi kombu, or chicken bones.

My shoyu ramen recipe is made of homemade chicken broth which you can get easily while using an Instant Pot or a pressure cooker since my American hubby can’t stand the smell of “the stuff” of dried fish or dashi kombu.

INSTANT POT/ PRESSURE COOKER RECIPE: Easy Homemade Asian Chicken Broth

Super-savory healthy homemade Chicken soup in 30 minutes. You can use it right away-make homemade Shoyu Ramen! Store the soup in a fridge and freezer. Remove excess fat after letting it refrigerate. This chicken broth can be from Asian to your comfy flavor while changing flavored vegetables.

Save the chicken bones from your (or Costco, Sam’s…) roast chicken and make chicken broth for homemade ramen!

Can you make Shoyu Ramen made with pork bone broth?

Yes, it’ll be your recipe so you can choose pork broth for Shoyu ramen.

Japanese-style Shoyu Tonkotsu ramen is made of super-rich white (emulsified) pork broth, yet, here is my homemade pork bone broth recipe for those who prefer lighter, clear, sweet (from veggies) broth.

What Can I do if I don’t want to use Chicken soup powder?

I use chicken soup powder (Asian flavor) to the soup in this recipe to add rich flavor easily.

Continue boiling down the homemade chicken (or pork) broth without removing bones until it gets half the amount after making the broth in my recipe if you don’t like to add the chicken powder.

Besides, add oyster sauce or miso paste when making the ramen soup to make a richer flavor without using the chicken soup powder.

Ramen Noodles In Japanese Home Cooking

I sometimes disappoint the readers when I don’t mind using any type of noodles such as rice noodles or Chinese egg noodles for homemade ramen and I tell them “AUTHENTIC”.

Fortunately, because of Ramen fans worldwide, you can get AUTHENTIC JAPANESE RAMEN NOODLES online, if you’ll looking for them.

But, I am easygoing and if you’re too, you can use gluten-free rice noodles, healthy konjac noodles, or actually, you can convert spaghetti to Japanese-style ramen noodles.

This cooking hack is really popular among the Japanese who live outside of Japan.

Now, you don’t have to wait for delivery from AMAZON while checking outside the door.

Only you’ll need spaghetti, baking soda, salt, and water.

Ramen Toppings

CHASYU PORK

Chashu is almost the staple on ramen bowl dishes, often, made of pork belly or shoulder.

Round or not round braised pork slices are authentically seared and then cooked slowly in Cashu sauce.

At home cooking, that way sometimes makes the meat dry and chewy which is not what I am looking for.

My chasyu pork recipe is using “sous vide” cooking method and provides tender moisten Chasyu pork every time.

A little pinky color may make you nervous, so sear pieces before serving.

EGGS

Nitamago is almost there when you’re going to make the Chasyu pork.

Make soft or hard-boiled eggs as you like, remove shells, then marinate the eggs in the CHasyu sauce overnight.

*The Nitamago eggs in the image are marinated for 3 days.

Here is the cooking guide if you want to know how long to cook eggs perfectly.

Besides, I also recommend “Misozuke Tamago” for a ramen topping as well as Nitamago eggs.

Rich sweet miso flavor goes perfectly with simple Shoyu ramen soup.

Simply, marinate the boiled eggs in the miso sauce.

MENMA (BAMBOO SHOOTS)

MENMA is also a beloved topping for Japanese ramen noodle soup!

You can get authentic fermented bamboo shoots on Amazon, or make MENMA-LIKE made with canned bamboo shoots.

As well as Nitamago eggs, Menma-like bamboo shoots are made with the same CHASHU sauce for CHASHU pork.

LAYU CHILI OIL

La-yu is the Japanese favorite condiment to add a spicy sesame oil aroma to dishes.

You can get easily Japanese Layu chili oil today, however, my homemade Layu recipe is worth making if you like really spicy sauce.
