Hey everyone, Anne here from Beyond the Bayou Blog. Today, I’m excited to share My Creamy Ramen Recipe with you. As someone who’s spent years working in restaurants, I’ve picked up a few tricks along the way.
This dish combines my love for comfort food with the skills I’ve learned in professional kitchens.
I remember the first time I tried creamy ramen. It was a cold, rainy day, and I was looking for something warm and satisfying. I started experimenting in my kitchen, and after a few tries, I came up with this recipe.
It’s become a favorite in my household, and I hope it’ll become one in yours too.
This creamy ramen is easy to make but packed with flavor. It’s perfect for those nights when you want something tasty without spending hours in the kitchen.
Tips that You Must Know!
- Choose Quality Mushrooms: Opt for baby bella (cremini) mushrooms for their rich flavor and meaty texture. They add depth to the dish that regular button mushrooms might lack.
- Sauté Until Deeply Browned: Ensure the mushrooms are sautéed until they are deeply browned. This caramelization enhances their umami flavor, contributing to the overall richness of the ramen.
- Use Low Sodium Vegetable Broth: To control the saltiness of the dish, use low sodium vegetable broth. You can always adjust seasoning later if needed, but starting with a lower sodium base allows for better flavor control.
- Fresh Spinach for Vibrancy: Adding fresh spinach right before serving preserves its bright color and nutrients. It also adds a refreshing contrast to the creamy broth.
- Coconut Milk Creaminess: Coconut milk adds a creamy richness without overwhelming the flavors. Use canned coconut milk for its consistency and richness, which complements the earthy mushrooms and savory broth.
- Customize with Garnishes: Elevate your ramen with optional garnishes like sliced green onion for freshness or chili garlic sauce for a spicy kick. These additions personalize the dish to suit your taste preferences.
