Enhanced Onion Ramen

Ingredients

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Onions

2 large, thinly sliced

Garlic

3 cloves, minced

Fresh ginger

1 tablespoon, grated

Vegetable broth

4 cups

Soy sauce

3 tablespoons

Mirin

2 tablespoons

Ramen noodles

4 servings (about 12 oz)

Green onions

4, sliced

Seaweed sheets

4 pieces, torn into strips

Soft-boiled eggs

4, for garnish

Instructions

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are deeply caramelized, about 20 minutes. This process enhances their natural sweetness and adds depth to the broth.
3. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Pour in the vegetable broth, soy sauce, and mirin. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
5. While the broth simmers, prepare the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
6. Divide the cooked noodles among serving bowls.
7. Ladle the hot broth over the noodles, ensuring an even distribution of the caramelized onions.
8. Top each bowl with sliced green onions, soft-boiled eggs, and torn seaweed sheets for an added layer of flavor and texture.
9. Serve hot and enjoy this delightful bowl of onion ramen!
