Homemade ramen noodles. These ramen noodles freeze beautifully, so make a big batch to have on hand for quick and easy meals. If you've wondered how to make homemade ramen noodles, you have to try this low-sodium recipe. Konjac powder is added to the noodle dough to enhance the texture and mouthfeel of the noodles. It helps create a more authentic and satisfying ramen noodle experience while keeping the sodium content low.
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup water
1/4 tsp. salt (low-sodium or omit if necessary)
1 tsp. konjac powder
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1 tsp. low-sodium soy sauce
1 tsp. miso paste (look for low-sodium options)
1 tsp. sesame oil
1/2 tsp. ginger, minced
1/2 tsp garlic, minced
Sliced cooked chicken breast or tofu
Sliced green onions
Sliced mushrooms
Sliced carrots
Spinach or other leafy greens
Soft-boiled egg (optional)
Nori sheets (seaweed), torn into small pieces
STEP 1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, water, salt (if using), and hydrocolloid. Mix to form a dough.
STEP 2. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
STEP 3. Roll out the dough to your desired thickness and cut into noodle shapes using a sharp knife or a pasta machine.
STEP 4. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook for about 2-3 minutes or until they are al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
STEP 5. In a separate pot, combine the low-sodium vegetable broth, low-sodium soy sauce, miso paste, sesame oil, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Bring to a gentle simmer.
STEP 6. Prepare your desired toppings by sautΓ©ing or cooking them as needed.
STEP 7. To serve, divide the cooked ramen noodles into serving bowls. Ladle the hot broth over the noodles.
STEP 8. Arrange the toppings on top of the noodles and broth.
STEP 9. Garnish with torn nori sheets and additional sliced green onions.
STEP 10. Serve the low-sodium ramen noodles immediately and enjoy!
