Preparation

  1. Smoked Mackarel Stock

    Ramen Broth (Chicken and Mackerel):

    Smoked Mackerel Stock:
    • Place the smoked fish bones into cold water.
    • Add the mushrooms and kombu.
    • Bring to the boil and let it simmer for 45-60 minutes.
    • Strain the broth.

    Chicken Stock:
    • Put all ingredients in a large cooking pot and add the cold water.
    • Bring to a boil and simmer for at least 3-4 hours.
    • Strain the stock and reduce it to 3-4 litres.
    • Add Knorr Chicken Stock Powder to taste, to boost the chicken stock.
    • If needed, add some salt or light soy sauce.
    • If you like it spicier, you can add more gochujang.

    Per Serving:
    • Combine both broths together and whisk in the Hellmann’s Mayonnaise
    • Turn off the heat. Use a hand blender to further emulsify the broth with the mayo

    Ramen Eggs:
    • Bring water to the boil.
    • Add eggs to the pot and boil for 6 minutes.
    • Take the eggs out of the water and place them in ice water. Cool down and peel.
    • Combine the mirin and soy sauces together in a small bowl, add the eggs, and leave them to marinate for at least 3 hours, but ideally overnight. Store them in the fridge.
    • Bring the eggs to room temperature. Slice each egg into half.Garnish each bowl with half an egg.

    Chicken Char Siu:
    • Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and add the chicken. Marinate overnight.
    • Remove the chicken from the marinade and place them over a rack. Use a paper towel to remove excess liquid from the meat.
    • Grill the chicken until cooked.
    • Cut the chicken into slices to place on top of the ramen.

    To Serve:
    • Evenly divide the noodles into serving bowls. Pour in enough broth to cover the noodles.
    • Top the ramen with sliced char siu chicken, ramen eggs, shiitake, charred baby corn, grated carrot, spinach leaves, and spring onions.
    • Drizzle some crispy chili oil over the ramen.
    • Sprinkle some sesame and togarashi on top and place a nori sheet on the side of the bowl.
    • Finish with micro greens on top.
