When cooking Miso Ramen, people often have questions regarding the broth consistency, the type of miso paste to choose, how to cook the noodles properly, choice of proteins, and the selection of garnishes. A common mistake is adding the miso paste directly to the boiling broth, which can kill the beneficial bacteria in it and alter the flavor.
To make the most out of your miso ramen, gradually introduce the paste to a little broth first, creating a slurry, then add this mix back to the pot. Choosing the right type of miso (white, red or mixed) can significantly impact the dish's flavor, as can the choice of accompaniments. Don't fear experimenting with ingredients!
A less-known hack is to steep dried shiitake mushrooms in the broth to add a depth of flavor. Also, for extra soft and tasty eggs, marinate them overnight in soy sauce, mirin, and sake.
