Miso Ramen With Fried Pork Cutlet Recipes

Steps:

• For the eggs: Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the eggs, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook 6 minutes. Drain and run under cool water until cool, then peel.
• Combine the soy sauce, sake and sugar with 1 cup water in a medium bowl and stir to dissolve the sugar. Add the eggs and place plastic wrap directly on the surface to help submerge the eggs. Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours and up to overnight.
• For the soup: Heat the sesame oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic, ginger and half of the scallions (reserve the rest for garnish) and cook, stirring often, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the sriracha and stir, 30 seconds. Stir in the miso, then gradually add the chicken broth and 2 cups water, whisking. Simmer, partially covered, 10 minutes. Whisk in the butter and season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Slice the marinated eggs in half.
• Cook the noodles according to their package instructions. Drain and divide among 4 bowls. Divide the soup among the bowls and top with the egg halves, remaining scallions and seaweed. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a medium-sized pot over medium heat, brown the pork for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic, ginger, green onions, mushrooms and konbu until fragrant. Stir in the miso, sesame oil, mirin, sugar, salt, sesame oil, chile-garlic sauce and white pepper. Add the stock and water. Increase the heat to medium high and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes (do not boil). Taste and adjust the seasoning. Remove the seaweed before serving.
• Hold the broth warm while assembling the bowls; do not boil. Bring to a near boil just before serving over the noodles and garnishes such as ramen eggs, chashu pork belly, green onions, bean sprouts and nori sheets.

Steps:

• Mix together the sake, water, soy sauce, sugar, green onions and ginger in a large pot.
• Halve or quarter the pork belly into large, manageable pieces.
• Transfer the pork belly pieces to the pot. Bring to just under a boil, but do not boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer poach slowly on the stove (alternatively, you can use an oven at 300 degrees F) until tender, about 2 hours 30 minutes.
• Check for tenderness by piercing the middle of each piece. When tender, allow to cool in the liquid for 2 hours off the heat, then transfer to the refrigerator to completely rest overnight in the liquid.
• The next day, remove the pork belly from the liquid and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Warm the pork belly with a bit of sauce and serve as a topping for Spicy Miso Ramen with the various garnishes. Serve 2 slices per person.

Steps:

• Fill a small pot halfway with water. Bring to a boil; add egg and cook for 15 minutes. Drain. Run cold water over egg and let cool.
• Pour sesame oil into a large skillet. Add pork slices. Cover pork with half the olive oil, sesame seeds, basil, and sage. Flip and cover pork with remaining olive oil, sesame seeds, basil, and sage.
• Cook pork, covered, over medium-low heat, until evenly browned on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until second side is browned, about 5 minutes more. Remove from heat.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add ramen noodles; cook for 3 minutes. Drain in a colander set in the sink; rinse noodles until water runs clear. Return noodles to the pot.
• Stir kombu, bonito stock, soy sauce, and miso paste into the noodles. Cook, stirring with chopsticks, over medium heat, until miso paste is dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer noodles to a bowl.
• Peel and cut egg in half lengthwise. Top noodles with egg, pork slices, and fish paste slices. Garnish with tonkatsu sauce, ginger, green onion, and black pepper.

Steps:

• To make the miso base, combine the sesame oil, onion, ginger, and garlic in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring often, for 6 minutes, or until the ingredients are soft and fragrant. Mix in the ground pork and increase the heat to medium. Cook for an additional 6 to 7 minutes, or until the pork is completely cooked through.
• Stir in both misos, the sesame seeds, hoisin sauce, tobanjan, and soy sauce, and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and set aside. Leftover miso base will keep refrigerated for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 2 months.
• To make the ramen, combine the ramen chicken stock and 1 3/4 cups of the miso base in a pot set over high heat to make the miso broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover to keep warm. Place another large pot over high heat and bring to a boil.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large, wide-bottomed pot over high heat. Add the bean sprouts and garlic chives and cook for 1 minute, stirring often. Add the miso broth and bring to a boil. Cook for 1 minute, then turn off the heat.
• Add the ramen noodles to the boiling water and cook, following package instructions. Drain well and divide among 4 bowls. Top each with one-fourth of the broth and vegetables. Garnish each bowl with 2 tablespoons of the corn kernels, 1 teaspoon of the ground sesame seeds, the sansho pepper, and one-fourth of the sliced scallions. Serve hot.
