📖 Instructions

1. Prepare the Broth: In a large pot, combine the chicken broth, soy sauce, mirin, sake (if using), grated ginger, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine. If you cant find sake, dont worry about it! It’s just a nice to have
2. Simmer the Broth: Bring the broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. The longer it simmers, the richer the flavor will become. I usually let mine sit for about 30 minutes. The aroma alone is worth it!
3. Prepare the Matcha Mixture: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the matcha powder and warm water until smooth and frothy. Ensure there are no clumps of matcha powder. This step is crucial for achieving a smooth and vibrant green broth. If you get it wrong, it'll taste gritty. Trust me, ive learned the hard way!
4. Incorporate the Matcha: Gradually pour the matcha mixture into the simmering broth, stirring constantly to ensure it is evenly distributed. Be careful not to let the broth boil after adding the matcha, as this can affect its color and flavor. Keep the heat on low to maintain a gentle simmer.
5. Cook the Ramen Noodles: While the broth is simmering, cook the ramen noodles according to the package directions. Drain the noodles well and set aside. Fresh ramen noodles typically cook in just a few minutes, so keep a close eye on them to prevent overcooking.
6. Prepare the Eggs: If using hard-boiled eggs, peel them and slice them in half lengthwise. If you prefer soft-boiled eggs, cook them to your liking and peel them carefully. Ive found six minutes is the sweet spot for a runny yolk!
7. Prep the Toppings: Slice the green onions thinly and set aside. Prepare any other toppings you desire, such as sliced mushrooms, bamboo shoots, nori seaweed, or sesame seeds. The toppings are where you can really get creative and customize your ramen to your liking.
8. Assemble the Ramen: Divide the cooked ramen noodles among serving bowls. Ladle the matcha-infused broth over the noodles, ensuring each bowl gets a generous portion.
9. Add the Toppings: Arrange the hard-boiled egg halves, sliced green onions, and other desired toppings artfully on top of the ramen. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for added flavor and visual appeal.
10. Serve Immediately: Serve the Matcha Majesty Ramen Miracle immediately while it is hot and the noodles are still tender. Garnish with a drizzle of chili oil (optional) for a spicy kick. Enjoy your culinary masterpiece!
