Black garlic ramen with chicken broth

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Soups
Black garlic is not a separate variety, but the result of patience: during weeks of heat treatment, the garlic's sugar content caramelises and browns, and its taste takes on soft, sweet balsamic vinegar notes, losing the pungency of raw garlic. In this ramen, this deep, complex flavour profile meets salty miso and the earthy aroma of shiitake mushrooms. A true "umami bomb" that instantly captivates with its dark colour and intense scent.

Instructions

1 ✓

Cook the eggs for 7 minutes in boiling water, then cool in ice-cold water and peel. This keeps the yolk creamy. Cut them in half. Slice the mushrooms, chop the spring onions.

Tip: Precise timing is key to the perfect consistency.
2 ✓

Heat the chicken broth in a saucepan. When steaming but not yet boiling, turn down the heat.

Tip: Boiling too hard can make the stock cloudy.
3 ✓

Ladle some of the hot soup into a small bowl and mix the miso paste and black garlic paste into it until smooth, then pour back into the saucepan. Add the soy sauce and sliced mushrooms. Simmer quietly for 5 minutes.

Tip: Mixing separately (tempering) ensures the pastes dissolve evenly and don't form lumps.
4 ✓

Meanwhile cook the noodles in plenty of water, drain, rinse and place in the bottom of the bowls.

Tip: The starch from the noodles must be washed off so it doesn't thicken the soup.
5 ✓

Ladle the hot, fragrant, dark soup over the noodles along with the mushrooms. Place the halved eggs on top, sprinkle with spring onion, tuck in the nori sheet, and drizzle with sesame oil.

Tip: Hurry with serving, ramen is best hot, the noodles soak up liquid quickly!

Recipe FAQ

I don't have black garlic, what do I do?
Although its taste is unique, you can substitute it with a mixture of a little balsamic vinegar and roasted garlic.
The soup is too salty.
Soy sauce and miso are both salty. Add a little water or unsalted stock, perhaps a pinch of sugar for balance.
The noodles stuck together.
Rinse immediately with cold water after cooking, and toss with a drop of sesame oil.
