Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • ramen 1 pack
  • water 600g
  • chives a handful
  • bonito broth 2 tablespoons
  • red chili pepper 1 piece

Recipe 🍳

  1. Cut the chives into pieces matching the ramen noodle length, separating the stems from the leaves.
  2. Slice the red chili pepper into diagonal strips.
  3. Bring 600g of water—more than usual—to a boil in a pot.
  4. Once boiling, add the ramen seasoning packet, the solid seasoning, and 2 tablespoons of bonito broth to adjust the flavor of the additional water.
  5. First, boil the tougher chive stems and red chili pepper.
  6. Add the ramen noodles and cook for 3 minutes 30 seconds to 4 minutes, depending on preference.
  7. When the noodles are cooked to the right consistency, remove them first and place them in a bowl.
  8. Add the chive leaves to the remaining broth and briefly cook until just wilted.
  9. Pour the cooked broth and chives over the noodles in the bowl to finish.
  1. Cut chives and red chili pepper into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Boil 600g of water with the ramen seasoning and 2 tablespoons of bonito broth.
  3. Add the chive stems, red chili pepper, and ramen noodles in order and cook.
  4. Transfer noodles to a bowl first, then briefly cook chive leaves in the broth before pouring over.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Since chives absorb a lot of liquid, use 600g of water—more than the standard 500–550ml—and adjust seasoning with bonito broth for best results.
  • The chive stems and leaves cook at different rates, so boil the firm stems with the noodles first, then briefly cook the tender leaves at the end for better texture.
