Get ready to tantalize your taste buds with this step-by-step guide to creating a noodle dish that will transport you straight to the bustling streets of Japan. So, grab your apron and let’s dive into the world of noodle delights!

 

The Noodle

• Boil a pot of water and add the ramen noodles. Cook them according to the package instructions until they reach the desired texture. Remember, medium firm `is the way to go!
• Once cooked, drain the noodles using a trusty pasta strainer. We recommend the OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Pasta Strainer available on Amazon.ca. Its sturdy construction and comfortable grip make it the perfect tool for straining noodles effortlessly.

 

The Broth

• In a large pot, heat some oil and sauté a mix of garlic, ginger, and green onions until fragrant. This aromatic base will infuse the broth with incredible flavor. Add your chosen meat.
• Allow the flavors to meld together.
• For an extra kick, you can add a splash of soy sauce, a dash of chili oil, or any other seasonings of your choice. Experiment and find your perfect balance of flavors!

The Sauce

• In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, and miso paste. Mix well. This sauce will add depth and richness to your ramen.
• Feel free to customize the sauce by adding ingredients like minced garlic, grated ginger, or even a squeeze of lime juice. Let your taste buds guide you!

Bringing It All Together

• Once your noodles are cooked and drained, divide them into serving bowls.
• Ladle the fragrant broth over the noodles, ensuring each bowl gets a generous amount.
• Drizzle the sauce over the top, allowing it to seep into the noodles and enhance their flavors.
• Now comes the fun part – toppings! Get creative and add sliced pork, soft-boiled eggs, seaweed, bamboo shoots, or any other ingredients that tickle your fancy.
• Give it a good mix, and voila! Your Shandong-style ramen is ready to be devoured.

 

Personal Recommendation

As a self-proclaimed ramen enthusiast, I can confidently say that Jason’s Shandong-style ramen is a game-changer.

The combination of perfectly cooked noodles, flavorful broth, and the umami-packed sauce creates a symphony of flavors in every bite.

The OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Pasta Strainer mentioned earlier is a fantastic addition to any kitchen, making noodle straining a breeze.

Trust me, investing in a quality strainer will elevate your cooking experience and ensure your noodles turn out just right.
