What's better than Miso Ramen to keep warm on a freezing day?

...as far as I'm concerned - nothing!
If you've just come back from an epic snowball fight with your mates and are shivering on the kitchen desperately looking for something to eat, wanting to try a new dish, or are a complete lover of ramen, it is the perfect meal to make your day, and so easy!!!
It's also the number 1 hangover cure in Japan!

If you want to try making this, here's a recipe:

Ingredients

  • 1 litre of vegetable stock (Also works with water)
  • 3 spring onions (finely chopped)
  • Fresh coriander
  • Fresh ginger (2 cm piece – finely chopped)
  • Sweet white miso paste (about 3 tablespoons)
  • Sunflower oil
  • Fresh ramen noodles (quantity depends on personal preference)
  • Prawns (Or any other ingredient - e.g. Tofu)
  • Lime juice
  • Tamari (or soy sauce)

Method

  1. Gently fry ginger and spring onion in 1tpsp (or less) of sunflower oil. Be careful that they don’t burn.
  2. Add 1 litre of hot vegetable stock
  3. Bring to the boil. Start to cook ramen noodles in water – they take about 1 minute if fresh.
  4. Add about 3 tablespoons of miso paste (add more to taste)
  5. Add the ramen noodles. Add the prawns – if they are not already cooked then they will take about 3 minutes and will go pink when they are done, if they are cooked then simply warm them in the soup.
  6. Add the juice of half a lime and a generous splash of tamari.
  7. Serve with chopped coriander leaves.
Enjoy!
