ICHIRAN Instant Ramen - The Best Instant Ramen from Popular Japanese Ramen Restaurant (How We Cooked!)

ICHIRAN Ramen Hakata-Style Thin Straight Noodles including Original Spicy Red Seasoning

This month, we got this famous instant ramen from my husband's friend who has recently come back from Japan. This instant ramen was from ICHIRAN (一蘭), a popular tonkotsu ramen restaurant chain in Japan. In 1960, ICHIRAN was established in Fukuoka prefecture, where tonkotsu ramen originated, and it has many branches in Japan. There are also some branches in New York. ICHIRAN serves tonkotsu ramen in-restaurants and also selling their high-end instant ramen for people who want to enjoy restaurant quality ramen at home. If you are in Fukuoka, Japan, you can probably find this ICHIRAN instant ramen (straight noodles) at Aeon (イオン) and MaxValu supermarket branches. You can also probably find ICHIRAN instant ramen at gift shops at the major airports in Japan. Finally, this year, ICHIRAN has also released their first instant cup noodles, ICHIRAN Cup Ramen (一蘭カップラーメン), and their new cup noodles are selling at most convenience stores in Japan. However, because of its explosive popularity, it might be very hard to find ones in Japan now.

Anyway, my husband cooked ICHIRAN instant ramen and it was very delicious! It tasted like really restaurant quality ramen. As I mentioned in my previous entries, Top 3 My Favorite Ramen From Marutai Kyushu Ramen Series, we really love Marutai Kyushu Instant Ramen because we were impressed at their authentic tastes. Yet, ICHIRAN ramen is also so good! Although ICHIRAN instant ramen is four times more expensive than Marutai Ramen in Japan. If you love ICHIRAN ramen, I think that you will love Marutai Kumamoto Tonkotsu Ramen too.

This box of ICHIRAN Ramen had two servings of instant noodles, ramen soup and spicy red powder. I'm going to share how my husband cooked ICHIRAN Ramen with you.

How to Cook ICHIRAN Instant Ramen

ICHIRAN Ramen Hakata-Style Thin Straight Noodles including Original Spicy Red Seasoning

Ingredient for 2 Servings

Two Servings of ICHIRAN Instant Ramen (including instant noodles, soup and spicy red powder)

900ml of Water

Two Eggs

1/2 Cup of Chopped Green Onions

Red Ginger Pickles, Kizami Shoga (刻み生姜)

Dried Seaweed, Nori (Cut into Pieces)

1. Bring water to a boil. Then, add dried noodles and cook them for 2 to 3 minutes.

2. Turn off the heat and add instant ramen soup.

3. Serve in a large ramen bowl. Add a cooked egg. (My husband always cooks eggs with a microwave oven. Put a little water in a small bowl and put a fresh egg in it. Then microwave it for seconds. If you over cooked the egg in a microwave oven, you know that it would be exploded in it. Try not to over cook the egg.)
