Directions
Spicy Miso Ramen is a fantastic winter evening soup, bursting with many different flavours and textures. There are lots of little bits to this recipe and at times it was all too much to do at once, but in hindsight most of it can be prepared in advance and then it is quick to assemble at the end.
The real highlight of this dish for me is the Soy Marinated Eggs. They were cooked to perfection following the very precise instructions. I left them to marinated whilst I put the kids to bed and two hours later they were still gooey in the middle. I will also cook my boiled eggs this way in the future.
Enjoy – I think we will be eating more ramen as a family this winter. The recipe can be found in JapanEasy.

To make the spicy pork mince, cut the leek in half and soak in very cold water until needed. Put the green half of the leek, the miso, tomato, onion, garlic, chilli, chilli flakes, ginger, sesame seeds, pepper, Szechuan pepper and anchovies in a blender and blitz to a coarse paste. Work this mixture into the pork mince. |

Put the wok on to heat 5-10 minutes before cooking the mince as it needs to be very hot. Add the oil to the pan and then add the pork mixture, stirring frequently, until it turns a rich brown in colour. Once it has all browned nicely and cooked through, remove from the heat and stir in the butter. Keep warm until needed,. |
