British-Style Curry Ramen

Ingredients

In this British adaptation of Muroran Curry Ramen, we incorporate the essence of British cuisine by infusing the curry broth with traditional British spices like turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Additionally, we use locally sourced ingredients such as British vegetables and protein options like roasted chicken or beef. The result is a fusion dish that combines the best of both Japanese and British flavors. We alse have the original recipe for Muroran Curry Ramen, so you can check it out.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Ramen noodles — Cook the noodles according to the package instructions, but make sure to slightly undercook them as they will continue to cook in the hot broth.

Tips & Tricks

• For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or chili flakes to the curry broth.
• Customize your toppings by adding sliced boiled eggs, bean sprouts, or pickled ginger.
• If you prefer a thicker broth, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with water and add it to the simmering broth.

Serving advice

Serve the British-Style Curry Ramen hot in individual bowls. Provide lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the ramen to add a tangy flavor.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, arrange the toppings (vegetables and protein) in an appealing manner on top of the ramen noodles. Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the dish for a pop of color.
