Hikari Menraku Restaurant Style Ramen Miso Tonkotsu Taste - How My Husband Cooked

 

Hikari Menraku Restaurant Style Ramen Miso Tonkotsu Taste

       Last weekend, my husband and I tried Menraku Restaurant Style Ramen Miso Tonkotsu Taste, instant ramen made by Hikari Miso, for our first time, and it was so delicious! It reminded me of miso ramen we had at a ramen restaurant in Hokkaido, Japan. If you are planning on visiting Hokkaido, you should try miso ramen, which originated in Hokkaido, there.  

Hikari Menraku Restaurant Style Ramen Miso Tonkotsu Taste

      The reason why I wanted to try this Menraku Restaurant Style Ramen Miso Tonkotsu Taste was that this instant miso ramen is made by Hikari Miso, one of the most famous Japanese miso companies.

Hikari Miso Paste

      This pack of Hikari Menraku Restaurant Style Ramen Miso Tonkotsu Taste had two servings of ramen noodles and powdered soup. Today, I'm going to share with you how my husband cook it.

Hikari Menraku Restaurant Style Ramen Miso Tonkotsu Taste

Ingredients (2 Servings)

1 Pack of Hikari Menraku Restaurant Style Ramen Miso Tonkotsu Taste

2 Cups of Water

2 Eggs

2 Green Onions (Thinly Sliced)

 

     Lightly stir-fried corns,  bean sprouts, cabbages, garlic and hard boiled eggs are also perfect toppings for miso ramen. 

 

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

 

 

 2. Mix in soup powders. Sir well.

 

 

 

 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 cup 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.)

 4. Top it with green onions.

 

 

 5. Serve and enjoy!

Maruchan GOLD - Review and How My Husband Cooked

 

Maruchan GOLD

      Have you ever tried Maruchan GOLD instant ramen? My husband and I tried it for our first time this winter. 

      Maruchan is Japanese instant ramen brand of Toyo Suisan, which was established in Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo in 1953. They started selling Maruchan ramen in 1961, and they expanded their business to the U.S. in 1977. If you live in the U.S., you have probably seen incredibly affordable Maruchan ramen at most supermarkets. Frankly, their cheap instant ramen selling in the U.S. tastes like super Americanized instant ramen just like other Japanese American companies do. Cheap Maruchan ramen in the U.S. doesn't taste as good as ones in Japan. (I also don't really like cheap Nissin cup noodles selling in the U.S. because it's too Americanized.) By the way, I really love Maruchan raw yakisoba noodles though. 

Maruchan GOLD is not cheap at all.

     Most Maruchan instant ramen selling in the U.S. is incredibly affordable. One serving of cheap Maruchan instant ramen is usually around 30 cents at most supermarkets in the U.S. In contrast, one serving of Maruchan GOLD is usually $2.50 at most US supermarkets. Maruchan GOLD is eight times more expensive than regular cheap Maruchan isntant ramen.

 

Is Maruchan GOLD in the U.S. like Maruchan Seimen in Japan?

     One of the reasons why I really wanted to try Maruchan GOLD was that I had heard that Maruchan GOLD was like Maruchan Seimen (マルちゃん 正麺) which is one of my favorite instant ramen in Japan. As I mentioned in my previous entries, one of my friend living in Japan told me that Maruchan Seimen was very popular in Japan, and those were often sold out back then. Maruchan Seimen is dried instant noodle, but it tastes like raw noodle surprisingly. If you are in Japan and haven't tried Maruchan Seimen yet, you really should try one. Anyway, I really love Maruchan GOLD too. Indeed, the texture of noodles was as authentic as Maruchan Seimen. The soup of Marucha GOLD were not too Americanized. I can say that Maruchan Gold and Maruchan Seimen are pretty close, but they don't have the same taste.

     This time, I purchased Maruchan Gold Soy Sauce Flavor and Spicy Miso Flavor.

3. Add noodles and hot water into the bowl. Stir until soup is evenly mixed.

4. Add a cooked egg.

      By the way, he 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.

5. Top it with green onions.

6. Enjoy!

        I was very impressed at the texture of noodles! It didn't taste like instant noodle. The soup was pretty good. Especially, I love soy sauce flavor. If I find that Maruchan GOLD is on sale, I will probably buy one again. 😋

Sapporo Ichiban Momosan Ramen Tonkotsu - How My Husband Cooked!

Sapporo Ichiban Momosan Ramen Tonkotsu

      This weekend, my husband cooked two types of Sapporo Ichiban Momosan Ramen, Tonkotsu and Tokyo Chicken. As I expected, they were so good! 😋 I thought that these were the best instant ramen you can find in the U.S.
 

Sapporo Ichiban Momosan Ramen Tokyo Chicken

 

Sapporo Ichiban Momosan Ramen

     As I mentioned in my previous entry, Sapporo Ichiban Momosan Ramen Tokyo Chicken - Costco Haul & How He Cooked!, I purchased Sapporo Ichiban Momosan Ramen Tokyo Chicken at my local Costco and I really liked it. However, Costco stopped selling them eventually. Then, I found that Sapporo Ichiban Momosan Ramen were selling at my local Japanese supermarket, and I decided to purchase them to try tonkotsu one for my first time. Today, I'm going to share with you how my husband cooked Sapporo Ichiban Momosan Ramen tonkotsu. If you don't have Japanese supermarkets nearby you, you can still find these ramen on Amazon for now.

     Just keep in mind that instant ramen has too much sodium (90% daily value!) in its soup, so try not to drink entire soup.

 How My Husband Cooked 

Momosan Ramen Tonkotsu

Sapporo Ichiban Momosan Ramen Tonkotsu

Ingredients (1 Serving)

1 Sapporo Ichiban Momosan Ramen Tonkotsu

450ml of Water

1 Egg

1/2 Cup of Chopped Green Onions

1 Tablespoon of Kizami Nori

 1. In a small pot, bring water to a boil. Add noodles and cook for 3 minutes.

 

 

 2. Meanwhile, empty soup packet and liquid seasoning packet in a large ramen bowl.  

 3. Pour hot water into the bowl and mix well.

4. Add noodles and stir.

 

 

5. Add a cooked egg.

      By the way, he 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.

 

6. Top it with green onions.

 

 7. Top it with kizami nori. If you don't have kizami nori, shredded dried seaweed, you can use any types of nori.

 

8. Enjoy!

Sapporo Ichiban Momosan Ramen Tonkotsu

      Sapporo Ichiban Momosan Ramen had had decent tonkotsu flavor. 😋 The soup had sesame seeds in it.

 

Sapporo Ichiban Momosan Ramen

      I liked both of flavors, but I probably liked Tokyo Chicken one more than Tonkotsu one. The soup of Tokyo Chicken one had lot of umami flavor. I think that I am too picky when it comes to tonkotsu ramen since I was born and raised in Fukuoka where tonkotsu ramen originated in.) If you are an avid tonkotsu ramen lover, I recommend you to try Marutai Kuamoto Tonkotsu Ramen frankly. If you are in the U.S., you can find Marutai Kumamoto Tonkotsu Ramen on Amazon US, but you cannot find them at Japanese supermarkets. If you are in Japan, you can probably find them at Donki and few supermarkets. You can check out my previous entry, Marutai Kumamoto Tonkotsu Ramen with Browned Garlic and Black Garlic Sesame Oil.
