🙋 Recommended for

  • People who want to experience the distinctive flavor of authentic Japanese tsukemen at home using just one ramen pack and low cost
  • Those looking for a completely new style of instant meal, different from their usual broth ramen or bibimbap

Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • beef bone ramen 1 pack (noodles, powdered soup, solid ingredients)
  • canned tuna 1 can
  • pork belly 100g
  • white part of green onion 1 stalk
  • dark soy sauce 1 tablespoon
  • oyster sauce 1 tablespoon
  • minced garlic 1/2 tablespoon
  • cornstarch 1/2 tablespoon
  • water 1 cup and a half
  • seaweed a little
  • soft-boiled egg 1

Recipe 🍳

  1. In a bowl, add 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic, all the solid ramen seasoning, half of the powdered soup, 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch, and 1 cup and a half water.
  2. Mix thoroughly until the powders and sauces blend evenly without clumping, creating the tsukemen base sauce (tare).
  3. Dice the pork belly and white part of the green onion into small pieces for a satisfying bite.
  4. Pour all the oil and meat from the canned tuna into a pan, then add the diced pork belly and green onion.
  5. Cook over high heat, crushing the tuna chunks with a kitchen tool as you stir, until all moisture evaporates and the mixture turns deep brown.
  6. Once the mixture is completely dry and richly colored, pour in the pre-mixed sauce base.
  7. Stir gently to prevent lumps due to the cornstarch, and simmer until the sauce thickens into a rich, sticky consistency—your tsuketsu (sauce) is ready.
  8. Boil the ramen noodles in water, then rinse under cold water to remove starch and squeeze out excess moisture completely.
  9. Place the noodles in a bowl, top with seaweed and soft-boiled egg, then dip the noodles into the thick, savory tuna-beef bone sauce and enjoy.
  1. Mix dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, garlic, ramen seasoning, cornstarch, and water to make the sauce base.
  2. Sauté the entire contents of the canned tuna, along with pork belly and green onion, until well-browned and dry.
  3. Add the prepared sauce to the sautéed ingredients and cook until thickened, then serve with boiled ramen noodles dipped into the sauce.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Since this is a dipping noodle dish, the sauce should be significantly saltier and thicker than regular ramen broth to ensure the noodles are fully coated.
  • Make sure to dry-fry the tuna meat thoroughly—this removes any fishy odor and intensifies its natural umami, adding depth to the sauce.
