TOP RAMEN RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Pour rice brain oil into a stock pot and cook of onions, white part of the scallions, garlic and ginger for 5-7 minutes on medium-heat or until caramelized.
• Stir in the chili paste and cook until aromatic, before adding the mushrooms and stirring for a further 5 minutes or until mushrooms get a slight brown edge.
• In a small bowl whisk the miso paste and 1 cup of stock before adding to the pot of mushrooms, then add in the rest of the stock and the soy sauce to the pot.
• Bring to a boil turn heat to low and cover with a lid, allowing to simmer for 1-3 hours.
• In the time the broth is simmering cook the pork belly. Preheat oven to 310 degrees F.
• Rub pork belly all over with salt and pepper then place on a rack above a baking sheet into the oven to cook for 90 minutes to 2 hours or until pork belly is cooked through. Turn oven to hottest temperature and blast belly to get crispy skin for 10-20 minutes. Remove and set aside.
• Bring a small pot of water to a boil, using a spoon, carefully place the eggs in, set a timer for 5 minutes 45 seconds. Once alarm goes off shock eggs in a bowl of ice water and peel.
• Using same pot of water, bring it back to a boil and add the noodles for 1-2 minutes or until it reaches desired consistency.
• To serve add noodles to a bowl, poor over miso broth and top with 3 slices of pork belly. Sprinkle over green scallions and serve with black sesame seeds.

Steps:

• Prepare dressing and set aside.
• Smash noodles of Top Ramen (discard seasoning packets) and brown over medium heat in 3 tbs oil.
• Once noodles have begun to slightly brown, add slivered almonds.
• If you start to brown the Ramen and almonds at the same time, the almonds will burn before the Ramen browns.
• Once the ramen noodles have turned a dark golden brown, remove from heat and set aside.
• Combine cabbage, green onions, chicken and sunflower seeds in a large bowl.
• Add the ramen/almond mixture and stir well.
• Add dressing and stir to coat.
• I generally prepare the dressing right before serving.
• If it sits in the refrigerator too long, it gets very thick and won't remix well.
• Also, this amount of dressing is just the right amount to give the salad a good coating.
• If you are one of those who likes more dressing, I would recommend making 1/2 batch of extra dressing.
• If you plan on eating this left over, keep in mind that the noodles will not stay crunchy.
