If you’ve already been a fan of MARUTAI RAMEN, the Hiyashi ramen recipe is obviously on the backside of the package.

So, let’s make MARUTAI HIYASHI RAMEN with me today!

WHAT’S MARUTAI BOH RAMEN

What’s HIYASHI RAMEN/ HIYASHI CHUKA

Hiyashi Ramen/ Hiyashi Chuka means literally “cold ramen” in Japanese. In this term, “Chuka” refers to Chuka-soba, which means ramen noodles in Japanese.

*Hiyashi means cold or chilled.

Anyway, (I am not going to dive into Japanese phrases,) this post is talking about “Cold ramen”.

This child ramen is the staple summer cold noodle dish as well as Somen noodles/ cold soba noodles/ cold Udon noodles.

The noodles are simply chilled by rinsing under tap water and stored in a fridge before serving.

The soup is also chilled, and typically, made of chicken stock, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and so on.

The nice refreshing flavor and cold noodles, and summer vegetable toppings,

can be enough to chill you in the hot humid summer season in Japan.

Also, it can bring you back to having an appetite while your appetite decreases during the hot summer season.

Topping Suggestions

Typically, Hiyashi Ramen/ Chuka is usually topped with,

  • Kinshi Tamago (paper-thin egg omelet threads)
  • Your choice of protein (sliced ham/ pulled chicken breast/ boiled shrimp)
  • julienned cucumber
  • sliced tomato
  • Benishoga pickled ginger

However, you can arrange this cold noodle salad bowl with anything you like!

  • Salad leaves/ Lettuce
  • Sliced onion
  • Bean sprouts
  • Shredded Carrots
  • Sliced celery
  • Crabmeat
  • Pulled pork

The Dressing Suggestion

When using MARUTAI Boh ramen, you can get the soup packet to make the dressing for Hiyashi Ramen.

You need only Japanese dark soy sauce, vinegar (apple cider/ rice/ white wine preferred), and sugar.

According to the instructions on the package, the water is required for 90ml ( 3 fl. oz).

I use 1/3 cup (79 ml) in this recipe.

You can also use 1/2 cup if desired.

Garnish Suggestions

Garnish Hiyashi Ramen/ Chuka with your color. Typically,

  • Beni Shoga pickled ginger as I said in the topping list
  • a lemon/ lime wedge
  • chopped green onions
  • sesame seeds
  • Furikake rice seasoning
  • Mustard

Nagoya-Style With Mayonnaise

Nagoyans (local people from Nagoya, including myself and my Mom, ) put mayonnaise on Hiyashi Ramen/ Chuka.

Mayonnaise can create a mild, creamy, rich flavor combined with the tangy dressing/ sauce.

Besides, it goes well with Kinshi Tamago and other toppings since they are ingredients for salads.
