Salt Ramen Noodle Soup

Shio ramen is a light and refreshing dish that is perfect for a hot summer day. The broth is typically made with chicken or pork bones that have been simmered for several hours, resulting in a clear and flavorful broth. The noodles are cooked until they are tender but still have a bit of bite, and are then added to the broth along with the toppings.

Origins and history

Shio ramen originated in Hokkaido, Japan, and is now popular throughout the country. The dish is said to have been created in the early 1900s, and has since become a beloved local specialty.

Dietary considerations

Shio ramen is typically not suitable for those with gluten allergies or sensitivities, as it is made with wheat noodles. The dish is also quite high in sodium, so it may not be suitable for those on a low-sodium diet.

Variations

There are many variations of shio ramen, with some recipes calling for the addition of miso paste or soy sauce to the broth. Some versions also use a different type of noodle, such as soba noodles or udon noodles.

Presentation and garnishing

Shio ramen is typically served in a large bowl, with the noodles and toppings arranged neatly on top of the broth. The dish is often garnished with thinly sliced scallions and a slice of lemon.

Tips & Tricks

To make the broth even more flavorful, add a piece of kombu or a few slices of ginger to the pot while it is simmering. For a lighter version, use a vegetable broth instead of a meat-based broth.
